Original title: Ministry of Ecology and Environment: Developing non-fossil energy and accelerating the construction of the carbon emissions trading market
Client Jingwei China-Singapore, October 21-21, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the “thirteenth quinquennium” ecological environmental protection work. Zhao Yingmin, vice minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that he will continue to uphold the strategic determination of building ecological civilizations, and with greater determination and greater strength, will strive for a new independent national input and carbon neutral vision. We will comprehensively strengthen our efforts to address climate change, take effective measures to control fossil energy consumption, and vigorously develop non-fossil energy. Take action to peak carbon dioxide emissions and accelerate the construction of a national carbon emissions trading market.

Zhao Yingmin pointed out that China is actively implementing a national strategy to address climate change, adopting a series of measures such as adjusting the industrial structure, optimizing the energy structure, saving energy and improving energy efficiency, promoting the construction of a carbon market and increase forest carbon sinks. During the period of the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, China has achieved remarkable results in fighting climate change.
First, greenhouse gas emissions have been effectively controlled.The continued decline in carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP across the country has basically reversed the rapid growth in total carbon dioxide emissions. By the end of last year, the intensity of carbon emissions had decreased by 18.2% compared to 2015, and the binding target of the “thirteenth five years” was achieved ahead of schedule. Carbon intensity was 48.1% lower than in 2005, and the share of non-fossil energy in energy consumption reached 15.3%, which has already met the 2020 target that China promised to the community. international ahead of schedule.
Second, energy conservation in key areas is progressing smoothly.The energy consumption per unit of industrial value added by Chinese companies above the designated size decreased by more than 15% in 2019 compared to 2015, which is equivalent to saving 480 million tons of standard coal, saving energy costs and save about 400 billion yuan. China’s green buildings account for 60% of new urban civil buildings. The energy-saving transformation of existing residential buildings in cities and towns has improved the operational efficiency of buildings, effectively improved the living environment, and benefited more than 21 million homes. Since 2010, ChinaGuoxin EnergyAutomobiles are growing rapidly, with sales accounting for 55% of the world’s new energy vehicles. Today, China is also the country with the largest number of new energy vehicles in the world.
The third is the rapid development of renewable energy.Since the 13th Five-Year Plan, installed renewable energy capacity has increased by approximately 12% per year, and the annual proportion of new installed capacity has exceeded 50%. The proportion of the total installed capacity has increased steadily, becoming an important component of the energy transition and the main body of the future energy increase. Wind power andSolar energyNew energy, such as power generation, has developed rapidly and has become the mainstay of renewable energy development. As of 2019, new installed energy capacity represented 55.2% of total installed renewable energy capacity. Conventional hydropower and pumped storage have developed steadily. At the end of last year, the total installed capacity of hydroelectric power was available. Renewable energy represents 44.8% of the total installed capacity.
Fourth, active adaptation to climate change is proceeding smoothly.Strengthen orientation in the field of adaptation to climate change, carry out pilot work on climate adaptation cities in 28 cities, carry out three batches of provinces and low-carbon cities in 81 cities in six provinces and regions, and strengthen the coordination of change climate and ecological environment coordination. The reform of the national climate change work organization and the adjustment of its functions have been completed.
The fifth is to actively participate in global climate governance.Adhere to multilateralism to promote the achievement of a package of results of the details of the implementation of the Paris Agreement, and work with other countries to actively implement the South-South cooperation plan on climate change “The Belt and Road” to help other developing countries improve their capacity to respond to climate change. On September 22, the Secretary-General solemnly promised to demonstrate China’s strategic determination to steadfastly pursue the path of green and low-carbon development, as well as firmly support multilateralism and actively promote the role of a major country in building community. with a shared future for humanity, which greatly boosted the joint implementation of the Paris Agreement by the international community. And the confidence to promote the green recovery of the world economy after the epidemic are China’s new efforts and new contributions to respond to global climate change. It also provided an important political and market momentum to promote the sustainable and resilient recovery of the economy after the epidemic.
Zhao Yingmin said that in the next step, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will continue to uphold the strategic determination of building ecological civilizations, with greater determination and greater strength, to strive for a new independent national contribution and carbon neutral vision.The first is to firmly implement the national strategy to actively respond to climate change, comprehensively strengthen the response to climate change, and promote the construction of a low-carbon and green circular economic development system. The second is to take effective measures to control fossil energy consumption. Vigorously develop non-fossil energy and deepen low-carbon and green actions in key areas. Accelerate the promotion of low-carbon and green production and lifestyles, take action to peak carbon dioxide emissions, and accelerate the construction of a national carbon emissions trading market.Promote green and low-carbon technological innovation, effectively enhance climate governance capacities, and make greater contributions to addressing global climate change.
