Extreme weather events have an increasing impact on economic growth and public health. How should we respond?
Jin Xiandong, director of the Policy Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission and spokesperson, said on the 19th that the National Development and Reform Commission will accelerate the research and development, demonstration, promotion and application of green and low-carbon advanced technologies, revise and release the green technology promotion catalog, and launch the second batch of green and low-carbon advanced technologies Demonstration project application and selection work.
On September 19, the National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference for September. At the meeting, a reporter asked: Since the beginning of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission has intensively introduced policies and measures to achieve the dual carbon goals, which have received great attention from all parties. Can you introduce the relevant situation and what measures will be introduced in the next step to promote green and low-carbon transformation?
Jin Xiandong said that since the beginning of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission has conscientiously fulfilled its responsibility of coordinating carbon peak and carbon neutrality work, and has worked with various regions and relevant departments to solidly promote green and low-carbon development, mainly carrying out three aspects of work.
The first is to make overall arrangements to accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. At the end of July, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued opinions on accelerating the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. For the first time, they systematically planned and comprehensively deployed the green transformation, clarified the overall requirements, main goals, and implementation paths, and coordinated promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, and expansion. Green, growth, and accelerate the formation of production and lifestyle that saves resources and protects the environment. At the same time, the National Development and Reform Commission supports relevant localities to try first. Since the beginning of this year, it has jointly issued documents related to green development in Beijing's Urban Sub-Center, China-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City, Xiongan New Area, Inner Mongolia and other places.
The second is to accelerate the consolidation of the foundation for carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Report and issue a work plan to accelerate the construction of a dual carbon emission control system, and establish and improve relevant policy frameworks such as local carbon assessment, industry carbon control, enterprise carbon management, project carbon evaluation, and product carbon footprint. outTaiwanImprove the work plan of the standard measurement system and release 55 standards in key areas such as product energy efficiency. Promote the construction of the first batch of 35 national carbon peak pilot cities and parks.
The third is to intensify efforts to implement a new round of energy conservation and carbon reduction actions. Report for the issuance of the 2024-2025 energy conservation and carbon reduction action plan, implement special actions for energy conservation and carbon reduction in six industries including steel, refining, synthetic ammonia, cement, electrolytic aluminum, and data centers, promote the low-carbon transformation of coal and electricity, and carry out key energy-using units. Energy efficiency diagnosis and promote the transformation of energy conservation and carbon reduction work in key industries from "construction drawings" to "real-life drawings".
Jin Xiandong said that in the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will adhere to the guidance of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, improve the green and low-carbon development mechanism, and focus on promoting work from four aspects. The first is to formulate a list of key tasks in the "Opinions on Accelerating the Comprehensive Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development", consolidate departmental responsibilities, further refine policy measures, and provide greater support for green and low-carbon development.
The second is to establish a new mechanism for comprehensive transformation from dual control of energy consumption to dual control of carbon emissions, and formulateTaiwanImprove the work plan of the carbon emission statistical accounting system, promote the establishment of a carbon emission budget management system at the provincial and municipal levels, and study and formulate comprehensive evaluation and assessment methods for carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
The third is to accelerate the research and development, demonstration, promotion and application of green and low-carbon advanced technologies, revise and release the green technology promotion catalog, and launch the application and selection of the second batch of green and low-carbon advanced technology demonstration projects.
The fourth is to further promote the construction of the national ecological civilization pilot zone, the national carbon peak pilot, and the ecological product value realization mechanism pilot, and support the innovation of local green and low-carbon development models.
