Huang Runqiu pointed out that my country continues to implement the national strategy of actively responding to climate change, integrating carbon peak and carbon neutrality into the overall layout of ecological civilization construction and the overall economic and social development, and coordinately promoting carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, achieving remarkable results. As an important policy tool to deal with climate change and promote the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the national carbon emissions trading market has successfully completed the construction and operation of two compliance cycles, effectively promoting the implementation of corporate carbon emission reduction responsibilities and industry technological progress. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee proposed to actively respond to climate change and improve green and low-carbon development mechanisms. We will conscientiously implement the spirit of the plenary session, accelerate the construction of the national carbon market, steadily expand industry coverage, gradually implement paid allocation of quotas, and help achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. China is willing to continue to join hands with other countries to strengthen exchanges and cooperation, deepen mutual learning, jointly promote the prosperity and development of the global carbon market, and contribute to global climate governance.

On behalf of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, Wang Menghui welcomed all the guests attending the conference.

In recent years, Hubei has deeply implemented Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, comprehensively promoted the simultaneous development of the four modernizations based on comprehensive river basin management, and taken solid steps in green and low-carbon development. We will conscientiously study and implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, accelerate the improvement and implementation of the system and mechanism of the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, coordinate the promotion of high-level protection and high-quality development based on comprehensive river basin management, and further improve the country. Carbon emission rights registration and settlement system functions, accelerate the creation of a carbon market and carbon finance center with national influence, promote comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and make greater contributions to promoting Chinese-style modernization. I hope that everyone will take this conference as an opportunity to deepen exchanges and cooperation, achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and jointly write a new chapter in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era.
