Ren Zhenhe, Governor of Gansu Province: Do a good job in energy conservation and carbon reduction at a higher level and with higher quality

On October 10, the 2024 Gansu Province Leading Group Meeting on Climate Change and Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction was held in Lanzhou to review and approve relevant documents and arrange and deploy key tasks. Ren Zhenhe, Governor of Gansu Province and Leader of the Leading Group, presided over and delivered a speech. He emphasized that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his inspection of Gansu, fully implement Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization, make overall plans and systematic advancement, and do a solid job in responding to climate change and reaching carbon peak. Key tasks such as carbon neutrality, energy conservation and emission reduction, artificial weather modification, and meteorological disaster prevention will coordinate the promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.

Ren Zhenhe pointed out that relevant departments at all levels must maintain the strategic determination to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, completely, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, and actively respond to and prevent climate change while deepening the battle against pollution and continuously improving environmental quality. Risk challenges, pay more attention to integrating green and low-carbon into all aspects of economic and social development, accelerate the adjustment of energy structure, promote green and low-carbon transformation and development, and unswervingly prioritize ecology, conservation and intensification, A green, low-carbon and high-quality development path will build a solid ecological security barrier in the western part of the country.

Ren Zhenhe emphasized that we must grasp the relationship between climate change and energy conservation and emission reduction, do a good job in energy conservation and carbon reduction at a higher level and with a higher quality, make good use of policy tools for reducing carbon intensity, steadily promote the construction of carbon markets, consolidate and improve the carbon sink capacity of ecosystems, deepen the emission reduction of total pollutants, fully achieve the carbon intensity reduction target, and better leverage the economic, social and ecological benefits of energy conservation and carbon reduction. It is necessary to grasp the relationship between achieving the "double carbon" goal and comprehensive green transformation, implement green planning, green design, green investment, green construction, green production, green circulation, green life, and green consumption in an all-round and full-process manner, and establish and improve green and low-carbon An economic system for circular development. We must grasp the relationship between meteorological development and disaster prevention and reduction, base ourselves on flood prevention and drought relief, emergency rescue and disaster relief, proactively plan and promote various tasks of meteorological reform, and strive to improve the ability of artificial weather modification operations, meteorological disaster prevention capabilities, and meteorological coordinated development capabilities. Promote high-quality meteorological development.
