On February 19, when presiding over the fourth meeting of the Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, the chairman emphasized that promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development is the basic policy to solve the problems of resources, environment and ecology, and it is necessary to adhere to the comprehensive transformation, coordinated transformation, innovation transformation and security transformation, and take the "double carbon" work as the guide to jointly promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth, and integrate the concept of green development into all aspects of the whole process of economic and social development.
Green is the background color of a better life and a necessary condition for sustainable development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of ecological civilization has been included in the overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the construction of ecological civilization in China has undergone historic, turning and overall changes. According to the "Comparative Research Report on Green Lifestyles of Chinese and Foreign Publics" released in 2023, nearly eighty percent of respondents in China are able to "turn off electrical appliances and lights when they are not in use" or "turn off the faucet when brushing their teeth or soaping" in most cases, and more than sixty percent of respondents will set "the temperature of the air conditioner in summer is not less than 26" in most cases....In today's China, more and more people are taking practical actions to "go green", actively practicing a simple and moderate, green and low-carbon, civilized and healthy way of life and consumption, and establishing an ecological consciousness of "protecting the ecological environment like protecting eyes and treating the ecological environment like life" in the whole society. On the new journey, to promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, we must adhere to the guidance of the idea of ecological civilization, constantly practice the concept of green development, consciously shoulder the political responsibility of ecological environmental protection, and effectively put the acceleration of the green transformation of the development mode in a more prominent position, and promote ecological priority, conservation and intensive, green and low-carbon development.
Keep an eye on the development trend and accelerate the green transformation of the industry. Green and low-carbon development is the direction of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation in today's era, green economy has become the commanding heights of global industrial competition, and promoting green and low-carbon development is the international trend and general trend. In recent years, the pace of green energy development in China has accelerated, and the synergistic development of green transformation and economic growth has been emerging. The latest data shows that in 2023, 5,095 green factories will be built at the national level, accounting for more than 17% of the total output value of the manufacturing industry, and the total output value of the environmental protection equipment manufacturing industry is expected to exceed 970 billion yuan, with a total of 78 iron and steel enterprises3900 million tons of crude steel production capacity completed the whole process of ultra-low emission transformation, and new energy vehicles increased by 30 percent over the previous year3%, production and sales are the world's first ......Green production methods are taking shape at an accelerated pace. To achieve carbon peak, carbon neutrality, not only for the adjustment of the industrial structure put forward urgent requirements, but also for the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure to provide a strategic opportunity, to adhere to the green transformation and development of the economy as the guide, continue to enhance the coordination of industrial policies, effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, from the policy, factors, technology, market and other aspects to promote the green development of the industry, increase the proportion of green and low-carbon industries in the total economy, build a sound green manufacturing system and service system, and accelerate the formation of industrial development advantages.
Practice the green concept and continue to improve policies, laws and regulations. If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square circle. In recent years, China's laws, regulations and policies related to green transformation and development have been promulgated one after another, and compared with the past, there has been significant development in terms of guiding ideology, legislative technology and implementation mechanism, the number has increased significantly, and the scope of application has been further expanded, providing an important institutional guarantee for the green transformation of economic and social development. In the past year, a series of systems have been promulgated, such as the Notice on Strengthening the Standardized Implementation, Supervision and Management of Land and Space Ecological Restoration Projects, the Notice on Carrying out the Supervision and Inspection of Mine Geological Environmental Protection and Land Reclamation in 2023, the Notice on Standardizing the Acceptance of Reclamation and Restoration of Stock Mining Land, and the Guidelines for the Supervision of Marine Ecological Protection and Restoration Projects (Trial), and the pace of improving the ecological restoration management system has been accelerating. It is necessary to adhere to the requirements of the concept of green development, strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights of green technology, carry out in-depth research on relevant laws, regulations, policies and systems, form a refined legal and normative system for the ecological environment, promote the more effective transformation of ecological and environmental scientific and technological achievements, and create a better legal environment for promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.
Strengthen scientific and technological innovation and promote the research and development and application of green technologies. To achieve green, low-carbon and high-quality development, scientific and technological innovation is the key. In 2023, China's new marine plastic waste management model "Blue Cycle" stood out from 2,500 applications around the world and won the "Champions of the Earth Award", the highest honor in the field of environmental protection of the United Nations. The project is supported by cutting-edge science and technology and is the crystallization of innovative thinking, which not only helps to reduce the environmental impact of plastic products, but also achieves a "win-win" situation for environmental protection and enrichment of the people, setting an example for the majority of localities and enterprises interested in controlling plastic pollution. Green development is a profound change, we must break the "path dependence" on the traditional economic development mode, continue to open up new paths for the research and development and application of green technology, facing the future, we must adhere to the road of scientific and technological innovation, focus on green and low-carbon technology research, concentrate resources to overcome key core technologies, accelerate the research and development and promotion and application of advanced and applicable projects, and continuously improve the overall efficiency of the innovation chain; It is necessary to continue to expand the main body of green innovation, and strive to cultivate a number of green technology leading enterprises, green and low-carbon technology enterprises, and specialized and special new "little giant" enterprises in the field of green technology innovation through the integration of technological innovation elements and resources, fully stimulate the vitality of various innovation subjects, and strive to form a new situation of green development with multi-energy complementarity, adaptation to local conditions, and diversified integration.
