When global climate change leads to profound changes in the Earth's ecosystem, which in turn affects the economic, political and social aspects of humankind, what responsibilities should the public assume in building an ecological civilization? What is the significance of low-carbon development for high-quality development?
Responding to climate change is an intrinsic requirement for China's sustainable development, with the accelerated melting of glaciers and the increase in extreme weather phenomena. Global climate change, characterized by global warming, has become the greatest environmental and ecological threat to humankind.
Strengthen the carbon emissions trading system and capacity building, and study and implement national self-financing. action plan and long-term low-carbon development strategy, and accelerate policy coordination and action to address climate change and low-carbon development. The role of climate change in promoting high-quality development, ecological civilization and environmental pollution control synergies should be given full play.
June 13 is the sixth National Low Carbon Day. The theme of this year's Low Carbon Day is “Enhancing Awareness of Climate Change and Strengthening Low Carbon Actions”. The 28th National Energy Conservation Awareness Week was held from June 11th to 17th this year.
China has made it clear that CO2 emissions will peak in 2030, striving to reach the peak target as soon as possible.In 2017, China's carbon emissions intensity fell by about 461 TP3T, initially reversing the rapid growth in carbon emissions compared to 2005.
An important feature of low-carbon and quality development, BG5 biodiesel, made from “gutter oil”, was sold at 33 gas stations in Shanghai at the end of May, with a total sales volume of more than 23 million liters, and it is expected that the biodiesel will be supplied to 200 gas stations in Shanghai within the year.
From new energy vehicles to bike sharing, from green buildings to sponge cities, from carbon emissions trading to green finance ...... energy saving, low consumption and low carbon development have become important features of China's quality economic development.
During National Energy Conservation Week, Shanghai issued China's first “Green Manufacturing” passport, the Shanghai Green Passport, focusing on Shanghai's Green Manufacturing brand; Wuhan held an An international seminar focusing on low-carbon city roadmaps was held in Wuhan; and Shandong Linyi was launched. an air-conditioned public organization in the office area to stop energy shortages for one day. Testing activities.
The site of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee is a typical example of the transformation and utilization of industrial heritage in old industrial areas. On the 2018th day of the 13th National Low Carbon Day theme, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee said that low-carbon emission targets will be achieved by building low-carbon venues and building low-carbon transportation systems. Waste recycling will be strengthened and carbon emission compensation mechanisms will be explored.
Data show that from 2013 to 2017, China's energy consumption of gross national product (GDP) was reduced by 20.91 TP3T, saving 10.3 tons of standard coal. The average annual growth rate of energy consumption for the whole year was 2.21 TP3T, and the average annual growth rate was 7.11 TP3T of GDP, which provided an important support for the construction of ecological civilization and high-quality development.
