Zhang Ping: Establishing a resource-conserving and environment-friendly society in accordance with the scientific concept of development and accelerating the transformation of economic development methods is an important focus. Energy saving and emission reduction is an important measure for building a “two-type†society, and it is also a An important gripper. Energy conservation and emission reduction, and the construction of a "two-type" society are the inherent requirements of the scientific concept of development. Of course, it is also an effective means to deal with climate change. Because of its significance, in the “Eleventh Five-Year Planâ€, the indicators for energy consumption per unit of GDP and total emissions of major pollutants were included in the “Eleventh Five-Year Planâ€. It is treated as a constraint-type indicator. It should be said that through the joint efforts of all parties, the "Eleventh Five-Year" goal of energy-saving emission reduction basically achieved. For our country, the constraints on resources and environment are still strong during the development process. Therefore, on the basis of our achievements, we must continue to make arduous efforts. This is both the need for our own development and our commitment to the world.
Everyone knows that at the UN General Assembly in 2009, General Secretary Hu Jintao promised the world that the intensity of energy consumption should be reduced by 40%-45% by 2020, or that the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced by 40%-45%. . The renewable energy ratio has risen to around 15%, and forest carbon sinks have also been added. At the climate change conference in Copenhagen at the end of 2009, Premier Wen Jiabao further made a commitment. China is a responsible country. In the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period, we must continue to increase energy-saving and emission-reduction efforts in light of the intensity of energy consumption, the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions, and the total discharge of major pollutants. Therefore, as a binding indicator, we propose that the intensity of energy consumption by 2015 should fall by 16% compared with 2010, and the emission intensity of greenhouse gases should be reduced by 17%. The total discharge of major pollutants should be reduced by 8%-10%. The "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" has been included in the chemical oxygen demand of the indicator. We usually say that COD, and sulfur dioxide emissions should be reduced by 8%, and the type of major pollutants has increased by two. One is the total amount of ammonia nitrogen. To decrease by 10%, the other is that the total amount of nitrogen oxides should also be reduced by 10%.
So this is the goal that we must accomplish. The reporter’s friend mentioned just now that in order to complete the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†goal, some places have taken some drastic actions, and even switched off power cuts. This is not our original intention, and such practices are inappropriate. However, I have also made a truthful review to the society and journalists. Because in these areas, we are the first time in the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†that we are bound to reduce the intensity of energy consumption and reduce pollutant emissions. The indicators, so we still lack experience. As the NDRC as the responsible department responsible for this work, there are indeed many mistakes in our work, and there are some inappropriate places in the guidance of the work. For power cuts, we have found that we have made arrangements in time to stop such situations. What exactly happened in some places in this way? It is the whole society that gives high priority to energy saving and emission reduction. It also shows the determination of the Chinese government. I think this is an oath for the world. If China makes such a commitment, it must achieve such a goal. Of course, we must not make similar mistakes in our work.
How to achieve the "Twelfth Five-Year" goal? I think first of all, we must change the concept of development. We must, in accordance with the requirements of the scientific concept of development, speed up the transformation of the requirements of economic development methods and truly transfer ideas, concepts, ideas, and methods to the path of scientific development. We can no longer go through the old road of extensive development, we must make us from top to bottom in all aspects of energy conservation, building a "two-type" society, to address climate change as an important goal of our development.
Therefore, I also mentioned earlier why we did not regard the indicators of economic growth as a binding indicator, that is, we must better put the focus of our work on the implementation of the requirements of the scientific concept of development. Therefore, we must change the thinking of development. In the specific work, we will continue to summarize and improve the measures that are effective for the “Eleventh Five-Year Planâ€, and we will stick to it and promote it. There are some inappropriate practices in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", we will further improve. However, one thing is clear. As a binding indicator, we have to break down our responsibilities, that is, we must decompose the responsibility for energy conservation and emission reduction into various regions and decompose it into relevant enterprises. This is a hard constraint and a hard requirement. Moreover, in the future, we must also take this as a key point in our evaluation index system for implementing the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan,†and clarify responsibilities. Of course, in the actual work, there must be specific measures, including adjusting the economic structure, eliminating backward production capacity, limiting the development of the “two high†industries, vigorously developing emerging industries, and vigorously developing service industries. It is necessary to actively promote technological progress, in particular energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies, energy-saving and emission-reduction products, implement key projects for energy-saving and emission reduction, and promote technological transformation of enterprises. To mobilize all aspects, including industrial energy conservation, energy conservation in construction, energy conservation in transportation, and energy conservation in all areas of society, advanced technologies must be adopted to use energy-saving and emission-reducing products. We also need to mobilize the whole society to strengthen the supervision of energy conservation and emission reduction and create a good environment.
In short, in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", especially the work to achieve energy-saving and emission reduction targets, we must further implement some effective measures. Of course, we also need to formulate corresponding economic policies and increase investment in this area. These are some measures that must be taken or they are just the right ones. After arduous efforts, we believe that we can achieve the goals set in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan," and we can also avoid the phenomenon of power cuts. Our goal is to give people a better environment and improve the people's quality of life.
During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", measures will be taken to avoid the phenomenon of "power cuts"
At 1400 hours on March 6, 2011, in the golden hall on the third floor of the Great Hall of the People, Zhang Ping, Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Zhu Zhixin and Xu Xianping, Deputy Directors of the National Development and Reform Commission, talked about the Outline of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, and answered The reporter asked.
