On March 15, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the ninth meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Commission and delivered an important speech to emphasize that achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality is a broad and profound economic and social systemic change. Carbon neutrality is incorporated into the overall layout of ecological civilization construction, and it has the energy to grasp the iron, so as to achieve the goal of carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2060 on schedule.

　　The construction of ecological civilization is a millennium plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, all parts of the country have thoroughly implemented Xi Jinping’s thoughts on ecological civilization, actively implemented strategies to address climate change, and effectively reversed the rapid growth of carbon dioxide emissions.

As of the end of 2019, my country’s carbon emission intensity has dropped by 18.2% compared to 2015. It has completed the 13th Five-Year Plan’s binding targets ahead of schedule. At the same time, it has achieved the 2020 target promised to the international community ahead of schedule. Not only has its own efforts to address climate change made significant achievements, but also Demonstration and guidance and important contributions to the construction of global ecological civilization.

　　The "13th Five-Year Plan" came to a successful conclusion, and the "14th Five-Year Plan" journey started.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period and window period for carbon peaking. We must seize the opportunity, take advantage of the trend, and promote the steady realization of the carbon peaking target and task.

It is necessary to strengthen system construction, build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, improve green and low-carbon policies and market systems, and strengthen the foundation of the system; strengthen capacity building, which not only enhances innovation capabilities such as green and low-carbon technologies, but also enhances ecological carbon Relying on capacity to achieve stability and long-term development; to strengthen action building, implement pollution reduction and carbon reduction actions in key industries, advocate green and low-carbon life actions, strengthen international cooperation actions, and implement blueprints with actions.

my country strives to achieve carbon peaks by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. This is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee after careful consideration. It is related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

In terms of concept, we must implement the new development concept, adhere to the system concept, put energy conservation in the first place, strengthen risk identification and control, and handle the relationship between development and emission reduction, overall and partial, short-term and medium-term long-term; implementation, we must adhere to National coordination, strengthen the top-level design, give full play to the advantages of the system, consolidate the responsibilities of all parties, insist on the efforts of the government and the market, and promote implementation in reform and innovation; in terms of the pattern, it is necessary to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, effectively coordinate domestic and international energy resources, and build The CCP will build the foundation of human ecological civilization in the new development pattern.
