Chinanews.com, Chengdu, February 25th (Zuo Yuqing, Zhongxin Finance and Economics) To implement the "double carbon" goal, digitalization is becoming a "booster" for transformation and upgrading.
Promoting the coordinated and integrated development of the green economy and the digital economy has become an issue that cannot be ignored at present.
On February 25th, the 2nd China Digital Carbon Neutrality Summit Forum with the theme of "Digital Leading Green Development" was successfully held in Chengdu. A number of experts and scholars jointly explored the path for digitalization to promote the realization of the "Double Carbon" goal.
Why does a green economy need digitalisation?
"The Chinese-style modern economic system is a high-end, digital, and green economic system. To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must take the road of coordinated and integrated development of the green economy and the digital economy." Academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, Party Committee of the Institute of Ecological Civilization, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Yang Kaizhong, secretary and dean of the School of Applied Economics at the University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said.
Yang Kaizhong pointed out that taking the road of coordinated and integrated development of the green economy and the digital economy is to grasp and lead the inherent requirements of new technology and industrial revolution, and it is also a strategy to form a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other. Requirements; It not only meets the strategic needs of cultivating and developing the international competitive advantage of the green and low-carbon circular economy, but also meets the strategic needs of the sustainable development of the digital economy.

"In order to implement the road of coordinated and integrated development of the green economy and the digital economy, it is necessary to grasp and emphasize the solutions based on nature and the solutions based on digital networks." Yang Kaizhong emphasized, among them, the solutions based on nature refer to cooperation with nature to mitigate Climate change, promoting economic development, improving food security, improving human health, or enhancing human resilience to natural disasters so that ecosystems can benefit human development; digital network-based methods emphasize the collection, integration, distribution of resources and maximize Maximize the effective use of resources and support sustainable economic development.
Du Xiangwan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, deputy director of the National Energy Advisory Expert Committee, and senior scientific advisor of the China Academy of Engineering Physics, believes that the application of digital technology in energy, especially in power grids, is of great significance.
"We must correctly understand China's energy resource endowment, establish first and then destroy." He said that my country's coal, oil and gas are not abundant, and the coal reserve-production ratio is only 40 years. Therefore, we must pay attention to saving, efficient and clean use of coal, and at the same time gradually develop Fossil Energy.
"In this way, "establish" first, and then gradually reduce coal when the "establish" is sufficient."
How can digitalization "boost" the green economy?
Zhu Tong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and dean of the School of Environmental Science and Engineering of Peking University, pointed out that air pollution and climate change are major challenges faced by human society. While endangering health, they will also cause major losses to society and the economy, and digitalization is bringing great benefits to the environment and Human health monitoring provides technical support.
"Digital twins - the fusion of observational data and models, provide us with a very powerful tool for predicting future environmental and balloon changes; in terms of individual health, the combination of exposomes and multi-omics, in the mining of big data combined with machine learning Here, it also reveals the causes of health, intervention and protection for us, and protects the health of each of us, which is becoming more and more important."

"Whether ChatGPT or AI is good, it just changes a method and provides us with a more effective tool." According to Ren Fuji, academician of the European Academy of Sciences, honorary vice chairman of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence, and chair professor of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China , Advanced intelligence can boost green development.
"Advanced intelligence is mainly to organically integrate the virtual economy, that is, our current digital economy and the real economy, to improve efficiency." Ren Fuji said that the carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060 must be based on The concept of advanced intelligence and technological innovation promotes the integration of digital technology and traditional industries, and promotes industrial digitalization and green transformation.
Focusing on carbon inclusiveness released a number of important achievements
At this forum, the China Internet Development Foundation also released four important achievements: announced the launch of the public welfare platform of the Digital Carbon Neutral Cognitive Center; released the "China Carbon Inclusive Development and Practice Case Study Report"; released the "2022 Digital "Carbon neutrality case collection activity" results and "carbon emission reduction digital ledger"; awarded the digital space green low-carbon action rotation unit.
"Carbon inclusiveness, as an innovative low-carbon development mechanism, aims to encourage low-carbon behaviors of individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises, advocate green consumption, promote the formation of a green and low-carbon lifestyle, and then promote the low-carbon transformation of enterprise production and improve the low-carbon behavior of the whole society. The level of carbon development is an important way to achieve the goal of 'double carbon', and it also helps to realize the harmonious coexistence between man and nature." Tian Chengchuan, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Publicity and Education Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said at the forum.
Tian Chengchuan, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Publicity and Education Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, released the "China Carbon Inclusive Development and Practice Case Study Report" as a research result of the "Carbon Inclusive Cooperation Network".

According to reports, the "China Carbon Inclusive Development and Practice Case Study Report" sorted out the history and current situation of my country's carbon inclusive development, explained the connotation, characteristics, advantages and functions of carbon inclusiveness, and extracted the current situation through case studies. The types and different characteristics of carbon inclusiveness carried out across the country, and countermeasures and suggestions for promoting the development of carbon inclusiveness are put forward.
The release of the report will help the whole society understand carbon inclusiveness, promote carbon inclusiveness, and practice carbon inclusiveness.
As one of the typical products of digital carbon neutrality, the emergence and growth of personal digital carbon ledger, a third-party green life carbon reduction measurement bottom platform built in the form of digital cloud, has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad.
According to Du Shaozhong, vice chairman of the China Environmental Protection Federation, the carbon ledger can quantify and visualize everyone's carbon emission reductions.
"An office worker who ordered a takeaway breakfast chose not to use disposable tableware on the order interface. After successfully placing the order, his carbon book received 45.72 grams of carbon emission reduction. At the same time, scattered in Beijing, Shanxi, Sichuan Luzhou, etc. Local people, while working and living normally, contribute their carbon emission reductions to achieve the vision of carbon neutral goals.”
"Although personal carbon emission reduction behaviors in daily life are relatively small, they add up to a large-scale emission reduction, which promotes the development of small changes in carbon emission habits and promotes the improvement of ecological environment quality as a whole. This is the importance of carbon ledgers. Contribution." Du Shaozhong said that the carbon ledger digitally drives everyone to participate in carbon emission reduction behaviors, promotes the application of digital carbon neutrality results, supports the construction of local government carbon inclusive platforms, and provides a typical case for the coordinated transformation and development of digital green.
