We will implement the system well, innovate scientific and technological support, and actively and steadily promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality.| Summary of the 2024 China Environmental Strategy and Policy Academic Annual Conference ④
The "2024 China Environmental Strategy and Policy Academic Annual Conference" sponsored by the Environmental and Economic Policy Research Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment was recently held in Beijing.This annual meeting will set up a main venue with the theme of "Focusing on Building a Beautiful China and Deepening the Reform of the Ecological Civilization System." It will focus on the basic system of ecological civilization, the ecological environment governance system, the green and low-carbon development mechanism, and actively and steadily promoting carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Four parallel sub-venues will be set up on themes such as carbon neutrality. A total of more than 150 representatives from relevant ministries and commissions, scientific research institutes, local governments, news media, etc. attended the meeting, and conducted theoretical and practical discussions and exchanges around the theme of the forum, and put forward good opinions and suggestions.
Carbon peak and carbon neutrality are the "nose of an ox" and touchstone that reflects and reflects the effectiveness of ecological civilization construction. Improving and promoting the carbon peak and carbon neutrality system is of great significance to deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system. Experts attending the meeting believed that carbon peak and carbon neutrality are based onXiJinpingThe major strategic decisions made by the Party Central Committee with comrades as the core to coordinate both domestic and international situations are inevitable choices to focus on solving outstanding problems of resource and environmental constraints and achieve sustainable development of the Chinese nation. In the process of improving relevant systems, we must coordinate and grasp the relationship between carbon peak and carbon neutrality, continuously improve the policy system, implement the system, innovate scientific and technological support, and actively and steadily promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
Energy is the main battlefield for achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of energy is the only way, and vigorously developing new energy is an inevitable choice. Some experts pointed out that energy transformation involves systemic economic and social changes. On the one hand, efforts must be made to build a net-zero-carbon economic policy system and a development paradigm based on renewable energy. Among them, planning and building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system is the foundation for achieving carbon neutrality. In some places, we continue to improve the clean and efficient utilization mechanism of coal, actively promote the in-depth development of clean and efficient utilization of the entire coal chain, and achieve ecological, economic and social benefits. Organic unity. On the other hand, building a new power system with new energy as the main body is the key to the success of energy transformation. It is necessary to continuously improve new energy consumption and regulation policies and measures, accelerate the reform of power marketization, and improve the power market's adaptability to high-proportion renewable energy. Adaptability.
The construction of a new energy system has put forward new requirements for scientific and technological innovation. Some experts suggest that the development of original core technologies should be accelerated, especially technologies such as power batteries, new energy vehicles, microgrids, local area network, biofibers, and zero-carbon integrated integration, and actively seek comprehensive solutions for zero-carbon micro-unit energy.
Mitigation and adaptation are two major countermeasures to deal with climate change. We should adhere to the basic principle of equal emphasis on mitigation and adaptation and improve relevant systems. Some experts pointed out that adapting to climate change involves all aspects of natural and social systems and is a long-term and complex systematic project. The improvement of the climate change adaptation work system should be accelerated. Establish a new mechanism for comprehensive transformation from dual control of energy consumption to dual control of carbon emissions, innovate work paths, and promote high-quality economic development and improvement of people's living standards. In terms of improving the carbon market trading system and the voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading system, policy certainty and market transparency should be further improved, and the total quota amount, allocation methods, validity period rules, storage rules, market adjustment methods, development routes, etc. should be clarified. In terms of promoting the construction of a carbon emission statistical accounting system, a product carbon labeling and certification system, and a product carbon footprint management system, my country has made positive progress in promoting the development of accounting standards, database construction, and international exchanges and connection. The next step should be to lay a solid foundation and work hard on first trial, publicity and interpretation.
