What are the positive results of my country's carbon peak carbon neutralization and work? What measures will the next step ensure that the target is achieved as scheduled? As an important measure to promote the construction of ecological civilization, what progress has the ecological protection compensation mechanism? The National Development and Reform Commission held a special press conference on the 22nd to respond.

The "double carbon" work starts well and progress is better than expected

"At present, the construction of ecological civilization in my country has entered a critical period of the key strategic direction of carbon reduction as the key strategic direction, promoting pollution reduction coordination, promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and the improvement of the quality of the ecological environment from quantity to qualitative change." National development reform Director Liu Dechun, director of the Department of Resources and Environmental Protection, said at the press conference that the "dual carbon" goal has proposed two years, and various tasks have been solidly advanced, achieving a good start, and the progress of all aspects is better than expected.

He said that the central level has established a carbon -peak carbon neutral and work leadership group to establish a coordinated coordination mechanism to build a carbon peak carbon neutralization and the "1+N" policy system. my country has steadily and orderly promoting energy green low -carbon transformation, actively developing strategic emerging industries, focusing on promoting energy -saving carbon reduction transformation in key industries, actively developing green buildings, increasing efforts to promote energy -saving and low -carbon transportation, consolidate and enhance the carbon exchange capacity of ecosystems, Optimize and improve the "dual control" system, start the national carbon market, and actively participate in global climate governance.

According to reports, at present, the scale of my country's renewable energy power generation installed power generation has exceeded 1.1 billion kilowatts, ranking first in the world. The production and sales of new energy vehicles ranked first in the world for 7 consecutive years, and the amount of preservation accounted for half of the world. Compared with 2012, my country's energy consumption intensity fell by 26.4%in 2021, carbon emissions intensity decreased by 34.4%, water consumption strength fell by 45%, and the main resource output rate increased by about 58%.

In terms of consolidating and improving the carbon exchange capacity of the ecosystem, my country adheres to the protection and repair of mountains and rivers, forests, lakes, and grass and sand, and scientifically promote large -scale land greening actions. my country's forest coverage rate and forest accumulation have maintained "dual growth" continuously, which has become the country with the largest increase in forest resources in the world.

Based on the actual situation, the relationship between development and emission reduction for a long time

Since the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis, the international energy market has intensified supply and demand, and some European countries restarted coal power, and the global emission reduction process has suffered twists and turns. Will this affect China's carbon peak carbon neutrality?

"Green and low -carbon transformation is by no means easy. It must be based on objective reality, step -by -step, and long -lasting merits to deal with the relationship between development and emission reduction." Liu Dechun said that achieving the "dual carbon" goal is the solemn declaration made by China to the world to the world. It is not that others let us do it, but we must do it ourselves.

He said that the National Development and Reform Commission will effectively fulfill the responsibilities of the Office of the Carbon Peak Carbon and Work Leading Group, maintain strategic determination, adhere to the bottom line of thinking, scientifically grasp the rhythm, strengthen coordination and coordination, and incorporate the work of "double carbon" into the overall construction of ecological civilization construction as a whole The layout and economic and social development are overall, implement the relevant deployment of carbon peak carbon and the "1+N" policy system, and have planned steps to implement the "Top Ten Actions for Carbon Peak".

In terms of promoting energy green and low -carbon transformation, the basic national conditions that are based on coal -based, insist on establishing first, then breaking, passing through the market, continuously promoting the clean and efficient use of coal cleaning, increasing the efforts to plan and build a new energy supply system; in promoting industrial optimization In terms of upgrading, vigorously develop strategic emerging industries, resolutely curb the blind development of high energy, high emissions, and low -level projects, and implement a comprehensive and save strategy; in terms of accelerating green low -carbon technology innovation, accelerating key core technology research, strengthening "dual carbon" Talent training in the field; in improving the green low -carbon policy system, promote the transformation of energy consumption "dual control" to the total carbon emissions and intensity "dual control", study and formulate a comprehensive evaluation and assessment system for carbon peak carbon and carbon Investment, finance, and price policies have promoted the healthy and orderly development of the carbon market.

The results of ecological protection compensation mechanisms are rich in various policies into the track of rule of law

Ecological protection compensation mechanism is an important measure to promote the construction of ecological civilization. Wang Xintong, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that my country has initially established an ecological protection compensation system that is in line with my country's national conditions. policy.

Wang Xintong introduced that in recent years, the cooperation network of ecological protection compensation in my country has weaved, and the implementation plan for the establishment of the horizontal compensation mechanism of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River has been issued. Essence The local area actively explored the establishment of a horizontal ecological compensation mechanism for the basin. As of the end of 2021, a total of 13 inter -provincial watershed ecological protection compensation mechanisms were established across the country.

"The institutional systems in the fields of carbon emissions, pollution, and water rights are gradually improved. Green finance, green logos, green buildings and other policy systems supporting the development of green industries have gradually improved. my country's market -oriented ecological protection compensation has made significant progress." Essence

He said that the National Development and Reform Commission will actively promote the issuance of ecological protection compensation regulations with relevant departments as soon as possible, and incorporate various policies for ecological protection compensation into the rule of law.
