The Istituto Italo-Cinese per le Relazioni Sostenibili (ICRS) is a NGO（non-governmental organization ）officially registered in France , operating across Italy, China,Africa and relevant EU countries.

​

Founded in 2021, the ICRS is committed to advancing Sino-European collaboration across four strategic pillars: climate action, clean energy, urban culture, and gender equality. The organization emphasizes transforming symbolic visibility into structural and actionable mechanisms.

​

We work in long-term cooperation with local governments, energy enterprises, cultural institutions, UN-aligned platforms, and academic networks, promoting both narrative innovation and practical implementation in the field of sustainability.

Our Core Structural Initiatives

 

We are currently advancing a set of flagship mechanisms designed to embed symbolic visibility into the operational logic of sustainable governance. These include:

 

• Bilateral Urban Cooperation Frameworks

Establishing long-term cooperation mechanisms between cities across regions to co-develop climate, cultural, and governance models anchored in sustainability and mutual visibility.

 

• Symbolic Diplomacy for Small and High-Risk States

Designing non-fiscal models of symbolic alignment to enhance the global representational presence of states with limited material capacity but high climate vulnerability (e.g., integrated into SDG Action #58128).

 

• Women’s Structural Expression Mechanisms

Developing institutional entry points for women’s participation in sustainability governance, shifting from symbolic presence to embedded co-design and representation.

 

• Clean Energy as Cultural Interface Pilots

Piloting public demonstration models that integrate renewable energy with cultural narratives, educational spaces, and civic identity, transforming energy transition into a shared societal symbol.
