In 2020 to be built in the country around 150 low-carbon industry demonstration Park | | low carbon _ carbon emissions news

Xinhuanet, Beijing, September 19 (reporters An Bei and and Zhao Chao)-was approved by the State Council, the State development and Reform Commission issued the national climate change plan (2014-2020). Development and Reform Commission official 19th on the planning of related hot issue in response to a question.

　　Development of regional differences in climate change policy

Q: raise according to the main function in the planning area to develop regional policies to address climate change, and is different from previous policy highlights. This policy takes into account what is it?

Answer: draw on main functional localization of ideas to make a difference on climate change policy was based on China's vast, diverse climatic conditions, natural areas of uneven development in different parts of the country and main function of national economic and social development, based on the principles adapted to local conditions in different regions established classification of regional policies to address climate change. In achieving climate change goals while contributing to efficient, coordinated and sustainable national spatial development pattern, strengthen the pertinence and effectiveness of policies to address climate change.

Respectively for the urbanized area of the planning (including optimization of development areas and key development areas), main production areas of farm products, focusing on ecological functional area (focusing on limiting ecological functional area and the prohibition of the development area), determine the difference of climate change mitigation and adaptation objectives, mandates and approaches. In order to reflect differences in policy features, to optimize the development of the planning region "set strict targets for greenhouse gas emissions control", which focuses on the development of region, "stick to the low consumption and low emissions, high added value and a new road to industrialization."

　　Study on mechanism of carbon emission control targets of the country down

Q: in establishing carbon trading regime of the planning, a national carbon trading market in which to deploy?

Answer: the plan clearly suggested that to draw on international experience in building a carbon emissions trading market, combined with China's national conditions, and gradually establish a carbon emissions trading market in China. In particular, at the conclusion of voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading and emission trading pilot experiences based on study on mechanism of carbon emission control targets of the country down, developing carbon emissions trading scheme, clear strategic objectives in the construction of national carbon emissions trading market, work ideas, implementation procedures, and supporting measures. Certified carbon emission right allocation, accounting, trading rules, rewards and punishment mechanism and regulatory system and other aspects of system design, develop a national carbon emissions trading management solution. Developing and standardizing trading platform, based on the focus on the development of carbon trading in the spot market as well, research in order to carry out carbon finance product innovation.

Meanwhile, continuously improve the support system of carbon trading, developing emission reduction projects in different sectors of emission reductions certified methodology. Establishing work norms and certification rules, greenhouse gas emissions recognized third-party certification bodies, study and formulation of related laws and regulations, policies and regulatory regimes. Study convergence with the international carbon emissions trading market, actively participate in global and sectoral development of multilateral trading rules and systems. In China and other countries (regions) through bilateral and multilateral cooperation mechanisms for carbon trading activities.

　　Low-carbon city (town) pilot

Q: the plan for the construction of pilot objectives by 2020 is set?

Answer: first, continue to develop low-carbon pilot provinces, increase financial input and policy support, encouraging innovation in institutions and mechanisms, the first to form a green and low-carbon development pattern, low carbon by 2020 carbon intensity of the pilot provinces fell by more than the national average.

Pilot II is continuing to develop low-carbon cities and develop low-carbon city (town) pilot, from the planning, construction, operation, and management process to explore industry-wide low carbon new mode of development and the integration of urban low-carbon construction, national urbanization and new low carbon development to provide useful experience.

Third, promoting low carbon zone pilot program built around 150 by 2020 low carbon industry demonstration zone. Developing low-carbon industrial park pilot evaluation index system and building codes.

Four representative choice of shops, hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions and other commercial organizations, develop low-carbon commercial pilot, before 2020 to create a low carbon business pilot 1000 or so.

Five are combined with the new urbanization and building a new Socialist countryside, promoting the low carbon community pilot. "Twelve-Five" low carbon communities nationwide at the end of the pilot to reach 1000 or so.
