Seeing the earth from outside the solar system

It's just a dust in the universe

But this dust is our only home

4 billion years of life scroll

Witness how many miracles of vicissitudes

How many evolutionary legends staged

We and the various forms of life

To shape the appearance of this planet together

Create a beautiful and poetic dwelling together

　　This is the profound thinking of a leader of a major country on the relationship between man and nature, the vision for the sustainable development of mankind, and the call to the world to join hands in building an ecological civilization and a beautiful earth.

　　From fully advancing the goal of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality, to working with countries to tackle climate change, from promoting all parties to jointly build a green "Belt and Road", to helping the world economy "green recovery" after the epidemic, China is the global climate and environmental governance The firm action group is an important participant, contributor, and leader in the construction of global ecological civilization, and handed over a green answer to the world.

　　June 5th is World Environment Day.

Let us move forward hand in hand, decorate the future with green, and leave a clean and beautiful world to future generations.

Promote "Green Transformation"

　　In September 2020, President Xi Jinping solemnly announced at the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly: “China will increase its nationally determined contributions, adopt more powerful policies and measures, and strive to reach its peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030. Strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060."

　　Carbon peak and carbon neutrality, these terms that once appeared only in professional documents such as the Paris Agreement, have now become household names.

Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality is a major strategic decision made by China based on its responsibility to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and the inherent requirements for achieving sustainable development.

　　"Highest" and "shortest" demonstrate China's determination to transform its economy and society into a comprehensive green transformation, and also start a tough battle that requires a run-up, acceleration, and leap to win.

　　There are solemn promises and more solid actions.

Incorporate carbon peaking and carbon neutrality into the overall layout of ecological civilization construction, formulate a carbon peaking action plan, support qualified localities, key industries, and key enterprises to take the lead in peaking, and build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system...from the top From design to specific implementation plans for different industries and fields, from timetables to roadmaps, China is advancing with unprecedented courage to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutral goals.

　　China-Russia nuclear energy cooperation contributes to the promotion of global green and low-carbon transformation and provides strong support for China to achieve its carbon peak and carbon neutral goals.

The two sides seek to develop green energy together, fully embodying the responsibility of major powers and injecting new confidence and hope into the response to global climate change.

　　Hans-Joseph Fehr, chairman of the German think tank Energy Observation Society, said that China is a world leader in the development and utilization of renewable energy, especially in the fields of solar energy, wind energy and energy storage technology.

China has also made great progress in afforestation and has played an active role in reducing carbon dioxide and curbing desertification.

　　This "green transformation" has enhanced China's initiative and influence in global climate governance, and has also revived global confidence in responding to climate change.

After China announced the goal of carbon neutrality, Japan, South Korea and other countries have successively made carbon neutrality commitments. The United States announced that it will return to the Paris Agreement, and international actions to address climate change have been accelerated.

Strengthen "green cooperation"

　　Climate change has brought increasingly severe challenges to human survival and development. The occurrence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has further triggered a deep reflection on the relationship between man and nature in various countries.

Standing at the height of the common destiny of mankind, President Xi Jinping called on countries to strengthen "green cooperation" on multiple occasions, jointly promote global climate and environmental governance, and seek a harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

　　At the Climate Ambition Summit held on December 12, 2020, President Xi Jinping pointed out that in the face of the challenge of climate change, mankind shares a common destiny and unilateralism has no way out.

Only by adhering to multilateralism, emphasizing unity and promoting cooperation, can we achieve mutual benefit and win-win results and benefit the people of all countries.

　　On April 22, 2021, President Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech at the leaders’ climate summit that China upholds the concept of “teach people how to fish” and through various forms of South-South practical cooperation, it will do its best to help developing countries improve their response. Climate change capability.

　　At this time, Africa’s climate remote sensing satellites are silently guarding Ethiopia’s land at an altitude of more than 600 kilometers.

This is a successful example of global South-South cooperation in addressing climate change, opening a new chapter in China-Africa cooperation in addressing climate change.

　　From taking the lead in issuing the "China's National Plan for Implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", to promoting the implementation of the Paris Agreement, from establishing a climate change South-South cooperation fund, to doing everything we can to help developing countries improve their ability to respond to climate change From the joint release of the “Joint Statement on Response to the Climate Crisis” with the United States to the forthcoming hosting of the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity... China firmly upholds multilateralism, promotes international cooperation in global environmental governance with practical actions, and demonstrates negative The mind and responsibility of a responsible country.

　　Ronny Lins, director of the Brazilian Center for China Studies, said, “To solve the climate change problem, the most important thing is to promote multilateralism, adhere to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, and promote the participation of the international community in global environmental governance, so as to save our children and grandchildren. A healthy world. In this regard, China is increasingly becoming a role model for the international community."

Advocate "Green Recovery"

　　What should be the road to recovery in the post-epidemic era?

　　President Xi Jinping pointed out that "human beings need a self-revolution" and can no longer "go down the old road of only talking about solicitation but not investment, only about development but not protection, and only about utilization but not restoration."

How to seize new opportunities and stimulate new momentum is a common issue facing all countries.

　　On April 20, 2021, President Xi Jinping announced at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference that China will build a "closer green development partnership" with all parties, and strengthen cooperation in the fields of green infrastructure, green energy, and green finance. Multilateral cooperation platforms such as the “Belt and Road” International Alliance for Green Development and the “Belt and Road” green investment principles have made green the background color for the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”.

　　From Asia to Africa, the "Belt and Road" has increasingly become an important engine for the global low-carbon transition and the "green recovery" after the epidemic.

The spread of the new crown epidemic has been repeated, sea and air transportation has been blocked, and the China-Europe freight train is like a non-stop steel camel fleet running across the Eurasian continent, opening up the "channel of life", supporting countries along the route to fight the epidemic, and boosting the recovery and development of the global economy.

　　Robert Schaff, CEO of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, said that the “Belt and Road” initiative can attract more investment and promote cross-border flows, thereby providing assistance to the development of capital markets.

Many years of cooperation and dialogue between Rwanda and China are helping to build a global green and sustainable financial market.

Leading "Green Development"

　　Green development and ecological priority are leading every solid step in building a beautiful China, and it is also the only way to modernization where man and nature coexist in harmony.

This is a vivid practice of building a community of human and natural life, and it is also gaining more and more resonance around the world.

　　Kashmir Maquin, a scholar at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji, said that it is time for China to call on the international community to jointly build a community of human and natural life.

Mankind needs to correctly handle the relationship between economic development and ecological environment protection, and cannot uncontrollably ask for it from nature.

　　China’s “prescription” for desertification prevention and control has brought hope to Mongolia’s control of desertification; China’s aided construction of Pakistan’s solar power plants can grow grass and melons under the photovoltaic panels; China’s Juncao planting technology has created green employment opportunities for more than 100 countries... …China has become an important participant, contributor, and leader in the construction of global ecological civilization.

　　"The sky does not speak but everything moves at four o'clock, and the earth does not speak but all things live."

　　The earth is our common home.

Let us uphold the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, gather the strength of helping each other in the same boat, protect this blue planet, and work hand in hand towards a more prosperous, clean and beautiful tomorrow.
