China News Agency, Xining, June 5 (Sun Rui and Yulin Ruan) "In order to promote carbon peaks and carbon neutrality, we must resolutely curb the blind development of projects and resolutely take down the'two high' projects that do not meet the requirements "Song Changqing, the second-level inspector of the Department of Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection of the National Development and Reform Commission of China, said on the 5th at the China National Home Event on June 5th, 2021, on the "Unswervingly Following the Road of High-Quality Development" forum.
On June 5, World Environment Day, the 2021 June 5th Environment Day national home event jointly organized by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China, the Central Civilization Office, and the Qinghai Provincial People's Government was held in Xining, Qinghai Province.
According to Song Changqing, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality are not about carbon based on carbon, but a comprehensive and profound economic and social systemic change. The challenges they face are unprecedented and cannot be achieved easily.
At present, China’s unbalanced and insufficient development is still prominent. The energy structure is dominated by coal, which is difficult to substitute. The development of non-fossil energy is facing multiple constraints. The problems of high energy consumption, high emissions, and low energy efficiency coexist in the industry. Green and low-carbon foundations Innovation capabilities continue to increase, and the problem of weak basic industries remains serious.
"Statistics show that China's current energy structure is dominated by coal, which is difficult to substitute, and the development and utilization of non-fossil energy is also facing multiple constraints. The problems of high energy consumption, high emissions, and low energy efficiency coexist in the industry. Green and low-carbon technological innovation capabilities are urgently needed to be strengthened. Therefore, we must resolutely curb the blind development of projects, adhere to and improve the dual control system of energy consumption, comprehensively sort out and investigate the newly added two high projects, and resolutely take down the "two highs" projects that do not meet the requirements." Song Changqing said.
Huang Runqiu, Minister of China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said, “We will take the realization of pollution reduction and carbon reduction synergy as the overall starting point, promote the formulation and implementation of carbon peak action plans, and further strengthen rigid measures to reduce carbon. Comprehensive use of'three lines and one order', etc. Strictly control the construction of high-energy-consuming and high-emission projects and curb the old kinetic energy of high carbon and high emissions. Develop green finance, cultivate green and low-carbon technologies and industries, and stimulate new kinetic energy of green and low-carbon." (End)
