Dr. Yang Pingjian of the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences shared the content of "carbon neutrality goals force high-quality economic and social development", mainly through data to show you the challenges and opportunities faced by my country's economic and social development. From the perspective of challenges, affected by my country's role in the global economic division of labor (a major manufacturing country) and energy structure, both the total carbon emissions and the carbon emissions intensity per unit of GDP far exceed those of major developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and Europe. As the process of tackling climate change progresses, the international pressure to reduce emissions is increasing. To achieve the long-term goals of 2035 and the second century, my country's economy still needs to maintain medium-to-high speed growth. Under this premise, the peak achieved through strong policy intervention is different from the natural peak after developed countries get rich. The transition time from peak to carbon neutrality is also far less than that of developed countries. The time is right, the task is heavy, and the magnitude is large, which requires a lot of effort. In terms of opportunities, my country has abundant renewable energy resources, and my country's photovoltaic, wind power, long-distance power transmission, and other technologies are world-leading. At the same time, the special political and economic system can effectively exert the advantages of organization and mobilization. my country has made it clear that the general goal of deepening the reform is to modernize the national governance system and governance capacity. Under a modern governance system, the market must play a decisive role in resource allocation. International brands and well-known enterprises are the main market forces, the ones with the most ability and the most resources. In the future, the power of green transformation and high-quality development will be transmitted to the upstream and downstream of the supply chain through the market selection of brands. The carbon target will be more smoothly accomplished, and the global response to climate change and sustainable development will also benefit greatly.
