China News Agency, Berlin, April 23 (Reporter Peng Dawei) Roberto Bocca, member of the Executive Committee of the World Economic Forum and director of the "Shaping the Future of Energy and Materials" platform, accepted an exclusive online interview with reporters from China News Agency on the 22nd At the time, I appreciate China's continuous progress in the climate field in recent years and its positive contributions to the global energy transition.

　　He said that according to the latest energy transition index released by the World Economic Forum, China is the only country in the Group of Twenty (G20) that has steadily improved its score year by year, and it is also the largest economy in the world that has steadily achieved energy transition.

　　The latest issue of the "Promoting Effective Transformation of Energy System" report released by the World Economic Forum recently pointed out that China has made significant progress in the energy transition index over the past ten years.

The report believes that the above-mentioned progress made by China is mainly due to the country's reduction of energy intensity for economic development, the development of renewable energy to promote the decarbonization of the energy structure, and the increase in investment and infrastructure construction to continuously improve the policy environment.

　　In recent days, China has intensively carried out climate diplomacy.

"There is undoubtedly competition among big countries, but climate change is critical to the safety of the entire world, and its importance surpasses all competition." Roberto Boca said that tackling climate change is precisely such a situation that requires global consensus and joint progress. Issue.

"China is actively promoting multilateral cooperation on global climate, which is very welcome."

　　Roberto Boca believes that tackling climate requires not only trying new technologies, but also introducing new mechanisms. The carbon market is one of them.

He noted that before launching the national carbon market online trading, China has already carried out pilot projects at the local level, and has maintained a long-term observation of the EU carbon market, and has learned from the EU's experience and lessons in the process of developing the carbon market.

"On this basis, China's carbon market can even be more efficient than the existing mature international carbon market."

　　He analyzed that the key significance of China’s national carbon market online trading is that China is the world’s largest energy consumer and major carbon emitter. The launch of the national carbon market is not only a big step for China itself. This is a big step for China's neighbors and all developing economies that cooperate with China.

　　Speaking of China's achievements reflected in the energy transition index compiled by the World Economic Forum, Roberto Boca pointed out that China has done very well in the past ten years.

"China is ranked 68th this year. If we use the same calculation method as this year, China's ranking in 2012 was 89th. Therefore, China's ranking has risen by 21 places in the past ten years."

　　Secondly, in the past ten years, of the 115 countries covered by the index, only 13 countries have steadily improved their scores year by year. "China has not only achieved this, but it is also the largest overall economy among the countries that have achieved this achievement. This is for the global It is very good news in terms of tackling climate change and the energy transition."

　　"It is worth emphasizing that China is the only country in the Group of Twenty (G20) that has steadily improved its score year by year, and it is also the largest economy in the world that has steadily realized the energy transition. This is really a very positive contribution." Robb To Boca said that the energy transition not only involves energy sustainability, but also how to ensure energy security and how to obtain energy in an economical way.

"China has made remarkable achievements in this regard-it has not only achieved economic development, but has also been able to handle the relationship between economic development and environmental protection more and more effectively."

　　"Regardless of whether carbon emissions occur in Beijing, Berlin, or Detroit, it is the same for the earth, and mankind will bear the consequences." Roberto Boca expects that countries around the world will be able to hold more climate-related events in the future. Summits, dialogues, and more actions at the same time, "If the last decade was a decade of laying the foundation and mobilizing all parties, then in the next decade we must accelerate the speed and intensity of action, and persevere."
