China is set to enhance its green transition across all economic and social sectors through coordinated efforts in cutting carbon emissions, reducing pollution, advancing green development, and fostering economic growth, as stated by Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday.
Li delivered these remarks during the government work report at the opening meeting of the third session of the 14th National People's Congress held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
He highlighted the significance of promoting the Beautiful China Initiative to fulfill the public's increasing demand for a healthy environment.
"We will enhance pollution prevention and control and ecological conservation, and continue our drive to keep the skies blue, waters clear and lands clean. We will also make comprehensive efforts to develop the national park-based system of protected areas, and initiate major biodiversity conservation programs," stated Li.
Li also detailed specific measures aimed at achieving a low-carbon economy.
"We will accelerate development of the green and low-carbon economy. We will carry out demonstration programs for the latest green and low-carbon technologies, fostering new growth drivers, such as green buildings, and exercising tight and effective regulation over energy-intensive projects. Additionally, we will step up recycling of waste and used materials, and boost incentives for eco-friendly consumption, aimed at promoting green and low-carbon ways of production and life," he explained.
Further, he addressed the approach toward carbon emissions. "We will actively and prudently work toward peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality. Efforts will be made to establish a group of zero-carbon industrial parks and factories, to launch carbon emissions statistics and accounting initiatives, and to conduct low-carbon upgrade trials in coal-fired power plants. We will actively engage in and steer global environmental and climate governance," Li mentioned.
The third session of the 14th NPC is set to take place from March 5 to 11.
