    At the meeting held by the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on July 30, it was proposed to do a good job in carbon peaking and carbon neutralization in an overall and orderly manner, introduce the action plan for carbon peaking before 2030 as soon as possible, adhere to the national game of chess, correct the sports "carbon reduction", first stand and then break, and resolutely curb the blind development of "two highs" projects.

    This is the latest deployment of the Central Committee for the current key work. This year is the first year of the 14th five year plan. All localities have taken positive actions to achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutralization as scheduled, but some problems exposed in the process of "carbon reduction" need to be paid attention to. First, in some places, the thunder of "carbon reduction" is loud and the rain is small. They shout slogans and flock to grab the air outlet, rub the heat and chase the hot spots; Second, some places have made excessive efforts to "cut across the board" coal and electricity, which is beyond the current development stage and the action taken is impractical; Third, some places use carbon peak to climb and rush to the peak, and have a strong impulse to develop high energy consuming industries.

    The emergence of these problems has exposed that some places do not have a deep and thorough understanding of carbon peak and carbon neutralization policies, and there are deviations in the implementation of national policies. If these problems are not handled well, they will directly affect the timely realization of carbon peak and carbon neutralization goals.

    The realization of the goal of "carbon reduction" does not lie in how loud the slogan is and how vigorous the momentum is, but should be implemented in concrete actions. However, at present, some places have not fully investigated and studied. Even without formulating the carbon peak action plan and coordinating the energy security and economy, they unilaterally emphasize the zero carbon plan or action, or rush to implement energy substitution regardless of their own resource endowment. It seems to be a great effort. In fact, it is lack of scientificity and operability, which will not only affect the carbon peak The realization of carbon neutralization goal will not only have an adverse impact on economic growth and employment.

    Recently, the central ecological and environmental protection inspector found that there is an impulse to blindly launch the "two high" projects in some places, and there is a momentum of "big, fast, rush and chaos". If the "two high" projects are allowed to develop blindly, it will not only affect the optimization and upgrading of China's industrial structure and the adjustment of energy structure, affect the improvement of ambient air quality, but also lead to a rapid increase in carbon emissions, which will peak at a fairly high level, which will undoubtedly make carbon neutralization bear greater pressure and cost in the later stage.

    China's goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutralization is not only a solemn commitment to the global response to climate change, but also an inherent need to promote economic transformation and upgrading. This is a broad and profound economic and social change, a reshaping of production, consumption and lifestyle, and a comprehensive and systematic project. We must integrate carbon peaking, carbon neutralization into the overall layout of economic and social development and ecological civilization construction, adhere to the national game of chess, and properly handle the relationship between development and emission reduction, overall and local, short-term and medium-term and long-term, With the overall green transformation of economic and social development as the guide and the green and low-carbon development of energy as the key, accelerate the formation of an industrial structure, mode of production, lifestyle and spatial pattern that saves resources and protects the environment.

    The 14th five year plan is a critical and window period for reaching the peak of carbon. According to the decision and deployment of the central government, we should focus on building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, implementing pollution and carbon reduction actions in key industries, promoting major breakthroughs in green and low-carbon technologies, improving green and low-carbon policies and market systems, and advocating green and low-carbon life Efforts should be made to improve the capacity of ecological carbon sequestration, that is, first establish and then break, first do a good job in the basic work of "carbon reduction", and promote "carbon reduction" on the basis of ensuring the stable operation of the economy.

    Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutralization is not only a hard battle, but also a big test of our party's ability to govern the country. Party committees and governments at all levels should earnestly shoulder their responsibilities, show the momentum of stepping on the stone, leaving a mark on the iron, respect the law, seek truth from facts, scientifically grasp the pace of work, achieve goals, measures and assessment, and promote carbon peak and carbon neutralization in an overall and orderly manner, so as to win this hard battle.
