Low -carbon development is imminent, scientific and technological innovation is in action!Guests of Pujiang Innovation Forum call on the world to work together

Low -carbon development is related to the global green future, technological innovation is undoubtedly the key to leading this transformation and development.

At the General Assembly of the 2022 Pujiang Innovation Forum held on August 27, almost all the guests of the participating guests were made around the theme of "Low Carbon: New Mission of Global Innovation", because there were no innovation without cooperation.

Looking at the world, China is not only an important participant in international frontier innovation, but also an important contributor to jointly solve global challenges. It is working with all parties to paint a new blueprint for global sustainable development, explore new paths, and contribute new wisdom.

The critical point of climate change is approaching, and the focus is on the words that are not in words

"This year's forum focuses on the issue of low -carbon technology issues. In the past eight years, the hottest eight years have been recorded. We can all feel that climate change is close at hand." The change expressed concerns. At the same time, he believes that if he wants to control the heating up within 1.5 ° C, the technology is the core, but the action is better than speech.

According to the International Energy Agency, half of the technology that helps to achieve net zero emission targets in 2050 is still in the prototype stage today. He said: "We can't waste a minute and one second. When waiting for these solutions to automatically enter the market, we must double the inspirational innovators so that new technologies with promising prospects will quickly reach the customer's hands."

At the United Nations Climate Conference last year, the World Economic Forum and partners launched a pioneer alliance consisting of more than 50 companies. They are using their own purchasing power to create a new market for cleaning technology in 8 difficult emission reduction fields. Through joint operations, these companies are issuing strong demand signals to help technology push to the market faster.

While supporting the rapid development of the economy, the steel industry is also a large carbon emission household. As a leading company in China's steel industry, Baowu Group has first proposed the "double carbon" goal in the steel industry -in 2023 strives to achieve carbon peaks, in 2025 with 30%of carbon reduction technology capabilities, and in 2035, strive to reduce carbon 30 in 2035 %, Strive to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050.

This is not a slogan, but a real action. Hu Wangming, general manager of China Baowu Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd., said that in 2021, the comprehensive energy consumption of Baowu's tons of steel decreased by 3 kg of standard coal year -on -year. The total amount of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and chemical oxygen demand emissions decreased by 20%and 23 respectively. %And 8%.

Global sustainable goals are achieved, and data and methods are urgently needed to support

How can we "act" by relying on scientific and technological innovation and realizing low -carbon development? Guo Donghua, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the director of the International Research Center of the Sustainable Development Big Data International Research Center, mentioned in the conference report that in the "2030 Sustainable Development Objectives" proposed by the United Nations in 2015, only 17 goals have clear implementation paths, about 40%, about 40% The indicator lacks data support. These sustainable development goals cover a number of "double carbon" related content, which can also effectively support low -carbon development.

To solve this problem, in September 2021, my country established the International Research Center of Sustainable Development Big Data, and launched the world's first sustainable development of big data science satellites in November. At present, the big data of the center of the center provides a large amount of data, methods and decision -making support for the monitoring and assessment of the UN sustainable development goals and the strategic goals of the "dual carbon". Guo Huadong introduced that focusing on zero hunger, clean drinking water and sanitary facilities, sustainable cities, communities, and climate operations, etc., the Sustainable Development Big Data International Research Center has contributed 53 data products and 33 methods model models. , 42 decision support.

Boris Otto, director of the Institute of Software and System Engineering of the Franhoff Association of Germany and the chairman of the Information and Communication Technology Alliance, believes that data sharing is very important during carbon emission reduction. By establishing a data sharing system, data sharing data in the industrial network and its ecosystem can reduce resource consumption and increase output, and help achieve carbon neutrality. "For example, if partners in the logistics transportation network can share each other's transportation needs and transportation data like today, then additional transportation consumption can be avoided," he said.

Boris said that in order to achieve true carbon neutrality, a unified data evaluation system is also required, such as clarifying carbon footprint data standards. He revealed that the International Data Space Association (IDSA) is planning to build an international data space laboratory in China. The laboratory will provide a platform for cooperation between China and the European Union, establish a standard of data sharing and trustworthy data economy, to help carbon neutrality.
