China News Service, October 28th. Li Gao, Director of the Department of Climate Change Response of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, stated on the 28th that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, efforts to address climate change will be comprehensively strengthened to promote high-quality economic development and high-level protection of the ecological environment. The mechanism promotes the fundamental transformation of economic structure, industrial structure, and energy structure from the source.
On the 28th, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a regular press release.
At the meeting, a reporter asked: "The 14th Five-Year Plan" is the time when my country will achieve its peak carbon in 2030. In order to achieve new goals, what is my country's energy conservation and emission reduction efforts?
Li Gao pointed out that, first of all, the work of addressing climate change should be fully integrated into the ecological civilization construction of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and a special plan for addressing climate change during the "14th Five-Year Plan" should be formulated. Work and target tasks are fully deployed and arranged.
Second, carry out the peak operation.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment will study the action plan for peaking carbon dioxide emissions across the 14th Five-Year Plan and the 15th Five-Year Plan, and continue to implement it in the two five-year plans. This work is both necessary and difficult, because it is different from ours. The conventional five-year plan is also different from the three-year battle in the field of pollution prevention and control. It needs to be planned for about ten years.
It is necessary to clearly transmit pressure and tasks to localities and industries. It is necessary to clarify the peak goals, roadmaps, action plans and supporting measures of local and key industries. Related departments must also form a joint force to promote and support this work.
At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and assessment, conduct assessments at the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", further strengthen corresponding measures, support the construction of key projects of national independent contributions, and ensure that the peak goal by 2030 can be achieved.
Third, strengthen the climate governance system and governance capacity building.
Under the leadership of the National Climate Change Leading Group, we must further promote the active participation of various departments, their respective duties, and the formation of joint forces.
It is necessary to encourage local governments to put climate change response in a more important position, coordinate the implementation of national climate change targets and local economic and social sustainable development, strengthen the establishment of laws, regulations, and policy standards systems for climate change response, and better play the role of market mechanisms , To promote the construction of a national carbon market.
It is necessary to further improve the ability of risk management and adapting to climate change. For the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, we must coordinate the promotion of climate change and ecological environmental protection related work, unified policy planning and standard formulation, unified monitoring and evaluation, unified supervision and law enforcement, and unified inspection Accountability.
Fourth, accelerate the low-carbon transformation of the energy structure, take effective measures to control the consumption of fossil energy, strictly control the intensity of energy consumption, especially the intensity of fossil energy consumption, and implement more stringent coal control measures.
Vigorously promote the use of electricity to replace coal and electricity to replace gas, and intensify the control of scattered coal.
At the same time, vigorously develop renewable energy.
Fifth, deepen low-carbon actions in key areas, and promote the development of low-carbon industrial systems, low-carbon transportation, and low-carbon buildings.
It is necessary to further strengthen low-carbon related work, further strengthen low-carbon transformation in key areas of industry, construction, transportation, and public institutions, and promote the energy efficiency of new infrastructure such as data center construction and 5G base stations.
Sixth, it is very important to promote a low-carbon production and lifestyle. It is necessary to promote a green and low-carbon lifestyle, raise the low-carbon awareness of leading cadres at all levels and the whole society, and guide residents to practice a green and low-carbon lifestyle, including encouraging everyone to travel by bus. Encourage everyone to consume low-carbon products; including promoting the reduction of one-time food waste. This is where citizens can contribute to climate change from their own perspective.
It is necessary to create a good atmosphere for the whole society to jointly promote and participate in green and low-carbon response to climate change.
Seventh, actively participate in global climate governance, adhere to multilateralism, adhere to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, promote the full and effective implementation of the Paris Agreement, and continue to contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the construction of a fair, reasonable, and win-win global climate governance system .
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment will also actively promote South-South cooperation on climate change and provide other developing countries with support within its capacity to deal with climate change.
