East China’s Jiangsu Province has issued a document on promoting high-quality development and promoting carbon peaking and carbon neutrality with a view to implementing the decisions and deployments of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and better promoting the province’s high-quality development.
Jiangsu will enhance the work of comprehensively building a green and low-carbon transformation development system, a low-carbon and efficient industrial structure system, and a low-carbon and safe energy utilization system, according to the document.
The province will give priority to saving energy resources so as to greatly improve the efficiency of input and output, and form an effective carbon emission control valve from the source and the entrance, the document said.
The government and the market must work together to enhance the original innovation support capability and promote advanced green and low-carbon technologies and experience, said the document.
By 2025, Jiangsu will initially form a green, low-carbon and circular development economic system with the energy utilization efficiency of key industries reaching the international advanced level and the energy consumption per unit of GDP measuring up to the national target and task, the document said.
By 2030, Jiangsu will achieve remarkable results in economic and social green and low-carbon transformation and development, and become a model province for the construction of a beautiful China, according to the document.
By 2060, Jiangsu will fully establish a green, low-carbon and circular development economic system and a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system with the energy utilization efficiency reaching the international advanced level, said the document.
Jiangsu will also require regional governments to incorporate the effectiveness of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality into high-quality development assessments, incorporate relevant indicators into the comprehensive evaluation system for economic and social development, and incorporate the implementation of goals and tasks into provincial-level ecological and environmental protection inspectors, according to the document.
