On 28 February, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a regular press conference to introduce China's efforts to promote carbon emission reduction.
"China has implemented the national strategy to actively address climate change, incorporated the reduction of carbon intensity as a binding target into the national economic and social development plan, and adopted a series of policy measures, including adjusting the industrial structure, optimizing the energy structure, conserving energy and improving energy efficiency, promoting the construction of market mechanisms, and actively increasing forest carbon sinks." By the end of 2019, China's carbon intensity had been cut by about 48.1 percent compared with 2005, and non-fossil energy accounted for 15.3 percent of primary energy consumption, meeting the 2020 targets China had promised to the outside world ahead of schedule, said Li Gao, director of the Department of Combating climate change under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
China has ranked first in the world in terms of the number of patents, investment, installed capacity and power generation in the field of renewable energy for many years in a row. The installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic power account for more than 30% of the world's total. China's renewable energy development has lowered the price of global renewable energy and played a huge role in promoting the development of global renewable energy.
From 2016 to 2019 alone, the effect of energy conservation and energy efficiency improvement in China is equivalent to the reduction of 1.4 billion tons of CARBON dioxide emissions. In the construction sector, green buildings account for about 60% of new civil buildings in cities and towns.
Since 2010, China's new energy vehicles have been growing at an average annual rate of twice that. In the process of addressing climate change, the emission of atmospheric pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide has been reduced in a coordinated manner, and the atmospheric environment has been improved.
Carbon market construction pilot first, orderly progress. By August this year, the carbon market in Beijing and other pilot provinces and cities had covered more than 20 industries, including steel, electricity and cement, and nearly 3,000 enterprises, with a cumulative trading volume of more than 400 million tons and a cumulative trading volume of more than 9 billion yuan. The total and intensity of carbon emissions had both dropped, Li said.
In addition, China will continue to deploy for peaking carbon emissions. "The work related to Operation Dalfeng will be included in the central ecological and environmental supervision department, and local progress will be assessed," Li said.
