The Politburo meeting of the Communist Party of China held a few days ago proposed that it is necessary to coordinate and orderly do carbon peaking and carbon neutrality work, and introduce the carbon peaking action plan before 2030 as soon as possible. After breaking through, resolutely curb the blind development of the "two highs" project.

What is a campaign-style "carbon reduction"? One is that the relevant places compare the time for carbon peaks and carbon neutrality to be achieved ahead of time, and they are overweight and divorced from reality; the other is to curb the "two highs" action is weak, and some places shout slogans. Actions cannot keep up with the impact; third, the foundation of energy conservation and emission reduction is not strong, and they are keen to grab the air, catch up with the heat, and catch up with hot spots. The campaign-style "carbon reduction" will directly affect the realization of China's "dual carbon" goal as scheduled, and will also have a certain impact on the coordinated development of economy, society and the environment, which needs to be corrected urgently.

In fact, "carbon reduction" is a systematic, strategic and overall work, and it needs to correctly handle the relationship between medium and long-term green transformation and short-term steady economic growth. Therefore, we should follow the law of green transformation, scientifically grasp the pace of transformation, and strengthen the top-level design, first stand and then break, coordinate and orderly, scientifically "reduce carbon", and win the tough battle of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

Follow the law

Strengthen the top-level design. "Carbon reduction" requires the establishment of a national game of chess, strengthening the overall coordination at the national level, and giving full play to the advantages of the system. At present, the country is stepping up to formulate and improve the overall action plan for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality and special action plans for various main aspects. In order to better curb the blind development of the "two highs" project, environmental protection inspectors should include the approval, construction and operation of the "two highs" project into the scope of inspection, strengthen source control, strengthen process evaluation and assessment accountability, and improve the environmental governance leadership responsibility system . In order to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, a better combination of effective government and effective market should be achieved. For example, through the implementation of special policies for green finance to support green and low-carbon development, the establishment of carbon emission reduction support tools, and guide commercial banks to increase support for carbon emission reduction investment and financing activities in accordance with market principles, and leverage more financial resources to green and low carbon. Industry tilt and so on.

Insist on adapting measures to local conditions. China's economy is large, and there are great differences in the economic development stage, industrial structure, resource endowment, and emission reduction potential of various regions. In the more developed areas along the eastern coast and some areas rich in renewable energy resources in the southwest, the difficulty of "carbon reduction" is relatively small. However, in some regions, the industrial structure is too heavy and the energy structure is partial to coal, and the task of "carbon reduction" is even more arduous. When formulating carbon peak and carbon neutral action plans, all regions should not divorce from reality and compare blindly. Whether it is a locality, industry or enterprise, it must be based on the local economy, industrial characteristics and social development reality, set goals reasonably, introduce its own implementation plan according to local conditions, and coordinate the addition of low-carbon industry development and carbon emissions and pollutant emissions. Subtract and promote high-quality development.

Insist on breaking first and then breaking. Breaking first and then standing, or breaking and not standing, may cause a certain social impact. To achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality, we need to pay attention to the balance of stock and increase. To deal with the relationship between pollution reduction and carbon reduction, energy security, industrial security, food security, and the normal life of the people, we must first break it, that is, first The infrastructure and guarantee mechanism for carbon reduction should be done well. On the basis of ensuring the stable operation of the economy and society, we will promote the “carbon reduction” work in an orderly manner.

Insist on innovation-driven. To successfully achieve the goal of "carbon reduction", we must insist on innovation-driven. Innovation can break the "boundary", integrate various fields, and improve the efficiency of resource utilization. It is an important driving force for "carbon reduction". At present, China's low-carbon development is still facing many technical problems, and some core technologies and key resources are facing the "stuck neck" problem. Therefore, we should promptly deploy green and low-carbon cutting-edge technology research, further increase support for low-carbon technology R&D and innovation, accelerate the establishment of a modern green and low-carbon technological innovation system, and strive to become a source of low-carbon original technology and a development highland.

At the same time, it is necessary to actively promote the application of low-carbon technology, transform and upgrade traditional high-energy-consuming industries with green and low-carbon technologies, cultivate and incubate emerging industries with green and low-carbon technologies, and promote green industrial chains, green value chains, and major engineering projects through digital smart technologies. The whole life cycle of green management will build a green and low-carbon industry into an important pillar of national economic development.Editor/XuNing
