Local two sessions focus on green development
Our reporter Liu Fawei
The National Two Sessions are about to kick off. So far, all provinces in China have held local Two Sessions.
The reporter sorted out the government work reports of the local two sessions and found that green and low-carbon transformation has become a common concern, and hot words such as "green development", "carbon reduction" and "pollution reduction" are frequently mentioned.
2023 is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is also a crucial year for the implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan".
"Green" has become the backside of the high-frequency words in the local two sessions, beating the strong pulse of China's continuous promotion of green development.
The improvement of the ecological environment has attracted attention
In 2022, the construction of a beautiful China will be solidly advanced.
According to data from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the discharge of major pollutants in China has continued to decline, the goal of improving the quality of the ecological environment has been successfully completed, and new hard-won results have been achieved in the protection of the ecological environment.
All provinces have contributed to the construction of a beautiful China, and have submitted their own environmental protection answers. In the government work reports of the local two sessions, the improvement of the ecological environment has become a highlight.
More blue skies, Beijing handed over a green answer sheet.
Over the past five years, Beijing has made every effort to defend the blue sky. The annual average concentration of fine particulate matter has dropped to 30 micrograms per cubic meter, a 48.3% drop from 2017. It has been hailed as the "Beijing Miracle" by the United Nations Environment Programme.
With green trees forming forests, Hebei has planted a vibrant future.
At present, the forest coverage rate in Hebei Province has increased to 35.6%, and the Saihanba Forest Farm has won the "Land Life Award" of the United Nations.
The finless porpoise is playing, and all the places along the Yangtze River work together to create a beautiful scene.
In Hubei, the problem of "encircling the chemical industry" has been solved. A total of 452 chemical enterprises along the river have been "closed, reformed and transferred". 71.7% increased to 86.1%, the ten-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River has achieved phased results, and the ecological environment of the Yangtze River is getting better and better...
The white paper "China's Green Development in the New Era" released not long ago pointed out that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has adhered to the concept that green water and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and has unswervingly followed the path of ecological priority and green development to promote economic and social development. The comprehensive green transformation, the construction of a modernization in which man and nature coexist harmoniously, has created an ecological miracle and a green development miracle that have attracted worldwide attention.
Green has become the distinctive background of China in the new era, and green development has become a prominent feature of Chinese-style modernization. The sky in China is bluer, the mountains are greener, the water is clearer, and the people enjoy more, more inclusive, and more sustainable green well-being.
A beautiful ecology is hard-won. The local two sessions have made arrangements for the protection of the local ecological environment, striving to achieve a benign interaction between high-level protection and high-quality development.
Shanxi Province proposes to focus on the construction of an important experimental area for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, and to jointly promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth; Sichuan Province proposes to carry out a pilot project for the construction of a beautiful Sichuan, and create a demonstration county for national ecological civilization construction and " "Two Mountains" practice and innovation base; Yunnan Province proposes to promote the value calculation and application of results of ecological products in the Nine Lakes Basin, and supports Pu'er, Chengjiang, Pingbian, and Shuifu to carry out pilot projects for realizing the value of ecological products...
Fully motivated to promote green transformation
A few days ago, Sun Jinlong, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, pointed out in a signed article that China's economy has shifted from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development.
High-quality development is the development that embodies new development concepts, and it is the development in which green development has become a common form.
The reporter combed and found that the government work reports of many provinces mentioned the need to promote the green and low-carbon construction of the park, realize the green transformation of traditional industries, and focus on the development of green industries.
Beijing proposes to promote green and low-carbon circular transformation and upgrading of various industrial parks, increase efforts in low-carbon pilot demonstrations, and promote the application of advanced low-carbon technologies such as renewable energy building integration; , low-carbon (zero-carbon) pilot demonstration construction of enterprises and institutions, and increase the promotion of building energy conservation; Yunnan Province plans to vigorously develop circular economy in the next five years, build bulk solid waste Carbon-zero-carbon demonstration park; Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region encourages industrial enterprises to implement green electricity substitution, adopt green technology, use green materials, and build more low-carbon parks and zero-carbon parks.
The enthusiasm for promoting green transformation in various places is unprecedentedly high. According to Zhang Anhua, deputy director of the Sustainable Development Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, in the process of green and low-carbon transformation and development, "green mountains" become "golden mountains", "carbon tickets" become banknotes, "reservoirs" "The scene of "forest bank" changing to "bank bank" is emerging day by day. Increasing the "green content" is equivalent to increasing the "gold content". The establishment of a green "big pattern" will have the basis to achieve "big development". New energy New engines can drive new industries and new economies, and green and low-carbonization can promote economic diversification and high-end.
All kinds of objective realities have inspired local enthusiasm for actively promoting green and low-carbon transformation and development.
Under the situation of vigorously developing the green industry, the eco-environmental protection industry has ushered in new development opportunities.
According to the estimates of the China Environmental Protection Industry Association, in 2022, the annual revenue of China's eco-environmental protection industry will be about 2.22 trillion yuan, an increase of about 1.9% over the same period in 2021.
Guo Chengzhan, president of the China Environmental Protection Industry Association, told reporters: "With the gradual implementation of a series of fiscal, taxation, financial, investment and other policies to stabilize growth and promote development deployed by the Central Economic Work Conference, the investment in the field of ecological environment in 2023 will be higher than that in 2022. Relatively obvious growth. The 2023 National Ecological and Environmental Protection Work Conference made arrangements for the key tasks of ecological and environmental protection this year, especially emphasizing the need to vigorously develop the ecological and environmental protection industry, and the environment for industrial development is getting better and better.”
Active layout for the "double carbon" goal
Achieving the "double carbon" goal is a complex systematic project, which is highly valued by the local two associations.
How to promote the orderly realization of the "double carbon" goal?
Many provinces are aiming at the big article of green and low-carbon transformation of energy structure——
On the one hand, many places mentioned that efforts should be made to improve the utilization efficiency of traditional energy such as coal. Hebei Province proposed to speed up the adjustment of energy structure, promote the clean and efficient use of coal, and increase the installed capacity of renewable energy by 10 million kilowatts; Shanxi Province proposed to strengthen the clean and efficient use of coal. Utilization, steadily promote the "three reforms linkage" of coal power units, and promote the optimal combination of coal and new energy; Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region proposes to strengthen the clean and efficient utilization of coal, steadily promote the "three reforms linkage" of coal power units, and promote the optimal combination of coal and new energy.
On the other hand, all localities are also actively planning to promote the development of new energy power and other related industries, and cultivate clean energy industries such as wind power generation and energy storage. Guangdong Province proposed to accelerate the planning and construction of new energy systems, and develop offshore wind power, pumped storage, etc. New energy and clean energy, accelerate the construction of energy storage battery projects, and vigorously develop new energy storage industries; Zhejiang Province proposes to accelerate the construction of a new energy system to build a leading province, build coastal nuclear power bases, East China pumped storage bases, Yangtze River Delta offshore wind power bases, National oil and gas storage and transportation base; Shanghai proposes to speed up the construction of a new power system, promote the expansion of LNG stations and lines, the construction of distributed photovoltaics, plan and construct major projects such as the entry of foreign power into Shanghai, and promote the construction of electric vehicle charging and swapping facilities; Anhui Province proposes to promote wind and solar installations Multiply the project, accelerate the development of the whole chain of hydrogen energy "production, storage, transportation and use", and increase the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation by more than 4 million kilowatts.
"In the work of realizing the 'double carbon' target, the central government is responsible for formulating the 'planning master plan', each province is responsible for formulating local 'construction drawings' according to the central master plan, and each urban area prepares its own 'construction plan' according to the 'construction drawing' , each county-level specific responsible person is responsible for formulating the "sub-item plan" of the "construction plan", responsible for organizing and determining the specific "construction" team, and determining the actual goals of carbon reduction, emission reduction and other related industries, industries, enterprises and relevant actors Tasks, responsibilities, and the specific time to complete the tasks, quality requirements, etc. Such linkages will be more conducive to the early realization of the 'double carbon' goal." Zhang Anhua said.
