Competitive global environment: ranked 87th
Army
On January 9, the Chinese Academy of social sciences published the first global environmental competitiveness report (2013) (hereinafter the report). The report on 2012 environmental competitiveness ranking of 133 countries, China ranked 87th, and three respectively, Switzerland, and Germany, and Norway.
As per capita gross domestic product (GDP) climbed annually ranks the world's second-largest economy, China's accomplishments are embarrassed.
Han Jun, Vice Director of the development research center of the State Council and feelings very deep. He pointed out that at present over more than 500 large urban ambient air quality to fulfil the World Health Organization air quality standards of the city rarely.
"To a green, low-carbon, sustainable approaches to development in transition, immediately. "Han Jun said at a press conference on January 9.
According to the report, if individual competitiveness of eco-environment, China ranked Nineth in 133 countries worldwide, is 124th. Among them, China's air quality in 133 countries, ranking second to last. Reflect the three key indicators of the level of air pollution, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide emissions, China's positions respectively for the global poor poor poor fourth, second, and third.
Han Jun said this ranking reflects the current severe situation of resource and environment, China, also reflects the urgency of accelerating the transformation of economic development mode, and consciously unconscious in many areas follow a pollution first and treatment after road was a Turnpike. "Environmental requirements in developed countries are now Chinese people have standards, but our development philosophy in many places there was no change. ”
Overall, environment less competitive countries are developing countries, which pay for actually outweigh the environmental costs of development ways of development. Earlier, the Vice President of the Chinese Academy of social sciences Li Yang has said publicly, "if GDP deduct the economic losses caused by environmental pollution and ecological degradation, real economic growth in China has only around 5%. ”
According to Han Jun, 18 plenary session to adjust the serious pollution and the use of farmland in seriously overdrawn area of groundwater and orderly implementation of cultivated land of rivers and lakes to rest, implement the policies needed to come up with tens of billions of money.
At present, the two-thirds of China's water shortage in the city, is close to 60% per cent of resource-exhausted cities, energy consumption per unit of GDP is 2.2 times times the world average, the carbon emissions of the world's first.
In order to promote the development of the transformation, 18 plenary session of making leading cadres should be implementing auditing natural resources assets, establishing liability for environmental damage to life investigating system, Central also proposed to speed up and improve evaluation of development results to correct simple GDP growth tendency to assess achievements. In response, Han Jun said, "China's Affairs, led an emphasis can be easily handled. "Just really through deepening reform, strengthening the system construction, the transition to a green economy, environmental competitiveness rankings, China is expected to annually like economy to move forward.

全球环境竞争力排名：中国第87
定军
1月9日，中国社科院发布首部《全球环境竞争力报告(2013)》(下称《报告》)。《报告》对2012年133个国家的环境竞争力进行了排名，中国名列第87位，而三甲分别为瑞士、德国、挪威。
作为人均地区生产总值(GDP)排名年年攀升的全球第二大经济体，中国的成绩令人汗颜。
国务院发展研究中心副主任韩俊对此感触很深。他指出，目前全国500多个大型城市当中环境空气质量能达到世界卫生组织空气质量标准的城市很少。
“向绿色、低碳、可持续的发展方式转型，刻不容缓。”韩俊在1月9日的发布会上说。
根据《报告》，如果单独看生态环境竞争力，中国在全球133个国家中排名倒数第九，为第124位。其中，中国的空气质量在133个国家中，排名全球倒数第二。从反映空气污染程度的三项关键指标来看，细颗粒物(PM2.5)、氮氧化物和二氧化硫排放量，中国的位置分别为全球第四差、第二差、第三差。
韩俊表示，这个排名反映了中国当前严峻的资源环境状况，也反映了加快转变经济发展方式的紧迫性，过去很多地区自觉不自觉的在走一条先污染后治理的老路，也是一条弯路。“现在中国老百姓对环境的要求跟发达国家已经接轨了，但是我们的发展理念在很多地方根本没有转变。”
综合来看，环境竞争力较低的国家基本上是发展中国家，而这种为发展而支付环境代价的发展方式实际上得不偿失。此前，中国社科院副院长李扬曾公开表示，“如果在GDP中扣除生态退化与环境污染造成的经济损失，我国的真实经济增长速度仅有5%左右。”
根据韩俊的说法，十八届三中全会提出要调整严重污染和地下水严重超采区耕地的用途，有序实现耕地河湖的休养生息，实施这个政策需要拿出数百亿资金。
当前，中国三分之二的城市缺水，资源枯竭型城市占比已经接近60%，单位GDP的能耗是世界平均水平的2.2倍，碳排放总量世界第一。
为了推动发展方式转型，十八届三中全会提出对领导干部要实行自然资源资产离任审计，建立生态环境损害责任终身追究制，中央还提出要加快完善发展成果的考核评价体系，纠正简单以生产总值增长率评定政绩的倾向。对此，韩俊表示，“中国的事情，领导一重视就好办。”只要真的通过深化改革，加强制度建设，向绿色经济的转型，中国环境竞争力排名就有望像经济排名一样年年往前走。
