The National Development and Reform Commission, Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the exclusive interview on the 19th, said that China is expected to be completed by 2010, Eleventh Five-Year Plan Outline of the unit of gross domestic product (GDP) energy consumption reduced by 20%, major pollution matter emissions reduced by 10% of the binding targets.
The so-called binding targets is to ensure that goal is also China s solemn commitment to the world. Xie said.
According to reports, since the establishment of indicators for the past three years, Chinese energy-saving emission reduction work of solid progress, the national unit of GDP energy consumption down year by year, sulfur dioxide and chemical oxygen demand (COD) emissions continue to decrease. Statistics show that in 2006 the national unit of GDP energy consumption fell 1.79%, to achieve the first drop since 2003. In 2007 fell 4.04%, 4.59% decline in 2008. Eleventh Five-Year three years before the national unit of GDP energy consumption fell by 10.1%, the cumulative energy saving of about 300 million tons of standard coal, less carbon dioxide emissions of about 7.5 million tons, the completion of the Eleventh Five-Year target half of the task.
In addition, the national sulfur dioxide, COD emissions continue to decrease. In 2007 dropped 4.66% and 3.14% for the first time to achieve double down ; in 2008 decreased by 5.95% and 4.42%. Eleventh Five-Year three years before the national sulfur dioxide, COD emissions dropped 8.95% and 6.61%, up to date the progress of the task completion. said Xie Zhenhua, the National unit of GDP energy consumption of the two and a half years to complete the task, as well as half of the tasks to be done, the task is still very arduous.
But the energy-saving emission reduction, as a hard task, we must ensure the completion. Xie said. He said that in the current work, based on the work as long as the correct methodology, various policies and measures in place, through the next two years of solid work, energy saving and emission reduction targets can be realized. Green another source (reporter intern YUAN Jie Wang Li-mei) The global financial crisis on the impact of environmental protection in China is very obvious, but also bring opportunities to China s environmental protection industry. Policies and regulations state Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Yang Chaofei at 19 held the first financial, Environment and Development Forum , said the Chinese government to promote economic development model has changed as a response to international financial crisis, an important way, and environmental protection as an important starting point for the promotion of industrial restructuring.
from international trade perspective, the global financial crisis eased the pressure on our internal environment, but in the long run, the financial crisis may also have a negative impact on environmental protection in China. Yang Chaofei said some local governments the protection of regional steady economic growth, protecting the possibility of heavily polluting enterprises is also increasing, so the pace of eliminating backward production capacity is likely to slow.
In this regard, Yang Chaofei stressed that governments at all levels to address the financial crisis, we must properly handle the relationship between economic development and environmental protection can not be because of one-sided pursuit of economic growth, relaxation of environmental requirements, the financial services sector in which the role of non-small looked down upon. China in the development of national environmental economic policy system, it will be green finance in an important position, the ministry has CBRC, CIRC, the Commission, the People s Bank and other financial regulatory authorities to promote green finance construction.
It is understood that the recent Ministry of Environmental Protection is working with the World Bank, IFC mainly on the introduction of internationally accepted guidelines, and the green credit, involving 62 industries, including environmental health and safety guidelines to cooperate at the same time, China is also developing suitable to China s national conditions and the credit industry environmental guidelines, environmental protection industry to communicate with the bank s credit mechanisms are improved. In addition, the Ministry of Environmental Protection will work with the SFC to enhance communication, to conduct environmental inspection of listed companies, and joint stock green environmental index studies.
