Achieving peak carbon neutrality is a broad and profound economic and social systemic change.

Based on my country's energy and resource endowments, we insist on establishing first and then breaking through, and plan to implement the carbon peaking action step by step.

  Zhao Penggao pointed out that since September 2020, China has made a good start in its unswerving efforts to achieve carbon neutrality.

It has established an overall coordination mechanism to promote clean, low-carbon and efficient use of energy, promote industrial optimization and upgrading, consolidate and enhance the carbon sink capacity of the ecosystem, and improve the green and low-carbon policy system. international obligations.
