The 2014-15 energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon action plan will be issued

Xu Shaoshi, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the 2014-2015 energy conservation and emission reduction low-carbon development action plan will be issued, urging all regions to formulate specific implementation measures and do a good job of implementation. We will carry out assessment and assessment of responsibility for energy conservation and emission reduction targets, and publish the assessment results to the public and accept social supervision.

　　The eighth session of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress heard a report on energy conservation and emission reduction by The State Council. Xu Shaoshi, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said in the report that the next step will be to strengthen the target responsibility system and accountability system, the assessment results are not completed in the region, if necessary by The State Council leading comrades to interview the main person in charge of the provincial people's government, the relevant person in charge of the assessment results within one year after the publication of the first and promote the re-use.

　　In 2013, compared with 2010, China's energy consumption per unit of GDP and carbon dioxide emission intensity decreased by 9.03 percent and 10.68 percent, respectively. In the first three years of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the cumulative energy saving was about 350 million tons of standard coal, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 840 million tons. In 2013, China's total chemical oxygen demand, sulfur dioxide, ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen oxide emissions were 23.527 million tons, 20.439 million tons, 2.457 million tons and 22.273 million tons, respectively, down 7.8 percent, 9.9 percent, 7.1 percent and 2.0 percent compared with 2010.

　　Although the national energy conservation and emission reduction work has made positive progress, there are still problems such as inadequate understanding, lagging behind the completion of some indicators, still extensive development mode, environmental quality is not optimistic, policy mechanisms are not perfect, and basic work is weak.

　　In particular, some units and localities do not pay enough attention to the work of energy conservation and emission reduction, thinking that energy conservation and emission reduction are "subtraction", and it is "important to talk about energy conservation and emission reduction, but not to do it". Xu Shaoshi said that energy intensity and pollution emissions in individual regions have risen sharply, dragging down the country.

　　In order to solve the above problems, Xu Shaoshi proposed that energy conservation and emission reduction should be promoted from the following seven main measures: strengthening the target responsibility system and accountability system, controlling the increase in energy consumption, increasing structural adjustment, focusing on promoting energy conservation and emission reduction in key areas, vigorously promoting pollution control, improving the incentive and constraint mechanism, and mobilizing the participation of the whole people.

       Talking about strengthening the target responsibility system and accountability system, Xu Shaoshi said that the 2014-2015 energy conservation and emission reduction low-carbon development action plan will be introduced, urging all regions to formulate specific implementation measures and do a good job of implementation. We will carry out assessment and assessment of responsibility for energy conservation and emission reduction targets, and publish the assessment results to the public and accept social supervision.

      Xu Shaoshi also said that for areas where the assessment results are not completed, the leading comrades of The State Council will interview the main person in charge of the provincial people's government if necessary, and the relevant person in charge shall not evaluate the best trees and promote and reuse within one year after the assessment results are published, and suspend the energy-saving assessment review of the new energy-consuming projects in the region and the EIA approval of the new major pollutant emission projects. By strictly controlling the increase in energy consumption, we will ensure the realization of the "12th Five-Year Plan" energy conservation target.
