1.MeetingsOn the afternoon of February 23, at the fourth meeting of the ** Financial and Economic Committee, the issue of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods was studied, and the problem of effectively reducing the logistics cost of the whole society was studied. The meeting stressed that the implementation of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods will effectively promote investment and consumption, which will benefit both the present and the long-term. It is necessary to do a good job in policy combination, promote the continuous increase in the proportion of advanced production capacity, more high-quality durable consumer goods into people's lives, waste resources are recycled, and the quality and level of national economic circulation have been greatly improved. It is necessary to adhere to the market-oriented, first-class guidance, insist on encouraging the advanced, eliminate the backward, adhere to the standard guidance, and orderly improvement.

2.policyThe Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Transport and other six departments jointly issued the "National Key Low-carbon Technology Solicitation and Promotion Implementation Plan" announced on the 22nd. It is clear that through the collection, selection and promotion of advanced and applicable low-carbon technologies, the demonstration effect of low-carbon technologies will be comprehensively enhanced, the level of industrial application will be improved, enterprises will be guided to explore low-carbon development solutions and green transformation paths, and the competitive advantages of low-carbon technology industries will be cultivated to effectively promote the green and low-carbon transformation and high-quality development of the economy and society. The national key low-carbon technologies promoted in this solicitation mainly include five key directions, covering key areas of greenhouse gas emission reduction such as energy, industry, agriculture, construction, and transportation
The first is the green and low-carbon transformation of energy, which mainly includes renewable energy development and application technology, advanced energy storage technology, energy Internet technology, hydrogen energy development and utilization technology, etc.
The second is carbon reduction in key areas, mainly including carbon reduction technologies in the industrial field, carbon reduction technologies in the construction field, and carbon reduction technologies in the transportation field.
The third is carbon storage and sequestration, which mainly includes CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) technology and ecological sink enhancement and monitoring technology.
The fourth is digital intelligence empowerment, which mainly includes digital empowerment efficiency improvement technology, greenhouse gas emission intelligent management technology, data center carbon reduction technology, etc.
The fifth is non-carbon dioxide emission reduction technology, which mainly includes methane emission reduction technology, hydrofluorocarbon emission reduction technology, nitrous oxide emission reduction technology and other non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission reduction technology.
Quoted from:: Six departments: by 2030, a systematic and panoramic low-carbon technology map will be gradually formed

Academician Fu Bojie: Scientific principles to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals
The current global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are seriously off track. From a scientific perspective, there is an urgent need to clarify the relevant scientific principles to understand the complex mechanisms affecting the 17 SDGs and their interactions. Academician Fu Bojie et al. published the Scientific Principles for Accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals, proposing a new scientific framework to clarify the common scientific principles that should be paid attention to in the realization of SDGs and how to deal with diversity under these principles.
On September 18, 2023, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres noted at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals SummitOnly 15 per cent of the targets are on track for progress, about half are moderately or severely off track, and 1 3 targets are even regressing. There is an urgent need for a more in-depth and rapid response to provide a universal action plan to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs.
From a scientific perspective, the realization of the SDGs requires clarifying the relevant scientific principles to understand the complex socio-ecological systems (SES) and their interactions that affect the 17 SDGs. To this end, Academician Fu and others proposed a new scientific framework to clarify the common scientific principles that should be paid attention to in the realization of SDGs and the way to deal with diversity under these principles, which is important for accelerating the realization of SDGs and establishing a sustainable economic and social governance system.
Based on the scientific framework and related scientific principles, Academician Fu Bojie et al. put forward the following key research directions:
1) SDGS monitoring and evaluation: Through the integration of national statistics, international organizations, earth observation, spatial data infrastructure, commercial data and citizen data, etc., develop new SDGS monitoring data and create new SDGS assessment methods, make up for the shortcomings of current research in data coverage, timeliness and classification level, and lay a data foundation for understanding the complex mechanisms affecting the implementation and interaction of SDGS.
2) Analysis of the influencing mechanism of SDGs: analyze the complex mechanisms affecting the implementation of SDGs and the interaction of SDGs at different scales and in different regions; identify key socio-ecological elements and processes, and quantify their complex network relationships; Identify the development needs of different countries and regions at different stages and the key opportunities and challenges for achieving the SDGs; Define boundary conditions that could seriously damage ecosystems and threaten social stability.
3) SDGS model simulation: based on the identified key socio-ecological elements and processes, construct complex network system models at different scales and in different regions; quantitative modelling of socio-ecological processes and their impact on the state of SDGs; Analyze interactions between different dimensions, regions, and scales.
4) SDGS implementation path: systematically analyze typical cases of sustainable development from global to local scales, and summarize relevant regulatory and transformation measures; The complex network system model is used to simulate the dynamic change of the system and the achievement of SDGs under different control modes and development paths. Scientifically optimize the implementation path of SDGS, and seek the coordinated development of necessary costs and expected benefits in a safe and just space. （Citation: Academician Fu Bojie: Scientific Principles for Accelerating the Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals
