China is set to expedite its green transition across all economic and social sectors through coordinated efforts aimed at cutting carbon emissions, reducing pollution, fostering green development, and stimulating economic growth, according to Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday.
Li shared these insights while presenting a government work report at the opening of the third session of the 14th National People's Congress at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
He underscored the significance of the Beautiful China Initiative in addressing 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," Li stated.
Li also detailed specific initiatives aimed at advancing 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.
"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 emphasized.
The third session of the 14th NPC is set to take place from March 5 to 11.
