Ecology and Environment recently issued the Opinions on Implementing High-level Protection to Accelerate the Rise of the Central Region.
Supporting the region to accelerate the development of green and low-carbon transformation, continuously and thoroughly fight the key battles of pollution prevention and control, earnestly safeguard the ecological environment security, focus on deepening the reform of the system and mechanism of ecological environment protection, accelerate the modernization of the ecological environment governance system and governance capacity, and make greater efforts to build a beautiful central region. High-quality ecological environment supports the accelerated rise of the central region.
The central region includes Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei and Hunan provinces. The Opinions on Implementation put forward 19 specific tasks from 7 aspects: accelerating the development of green and low-carbon transformation, continuously deepening the control of air pollution, strengthening the protection and restoration of water ecological environment, strengthening the control of soil and agricultural and rural pollution, strengthening the control of solid waste and hazardous waste, maintaining regional ecological environment security, and strengthening the support and guarantee of ecological environment protection.
It is mentioned that
the implementation of ecological environment zoning management and control. Supporting the central region to continuously improve the ecological environment zoning management and control system with global coverage and precise management and control, and to implement and apply it well, strengthen planning environmental assessment, rationally distribute major industries, infrastructure and other projects, guide industrial transfer and transformation and upgrading according to local conditions, enhance energy and resources security and industrial support capacity, and promote it. We will resolutely curb the blind development of projects with high energy consumption, high emissions and low levels. We will support the coordinated development of regional industrialization and urbanization, support the construction of urban agglomerations such as the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains, and metropolitan areas such as Wuhan, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan, Zhengzhou and Hefei, and guide the construction of a number of beautiful cities with different characteristics.
Service guarantees major project construction. Relying on the "three accounts" and green channel mechanism of environmental assessment and approval, we should intervene in advance and strengthen guidance for major scientific and technological infrastructure, major water conservancy infrastructure, major strategic emerging industries, modern transportation infrastructure and other construction projects in the central region, and open up green channels to meet the requirements of ecological environment protection, so as to improve the efficiency of examination and approval. To guide the central region to carry out the pilot reform of environmental impact assessment and approval of construction projects, and to promote the optimization of classified management of environmental impact assessment.
Promote the level of green and low-carbon development of industry. We will support large-scale equipment renewal and the replacement of old consumer goods with new ones in the central region, accelerate the transformation of ultra-low emissions in steel, cement, coking and other industries, and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. A number of recycling industrial parks and eco-industrial parks will be built at a high level to support the standardized dismantling and utilization of waste electronic equipment. We will carry out pilot projects for collaborative innovation in pollution reduction and carbon reduction in cities and industrial parks, and implement a number of collaborative treatment projects for pollution reduction and carbon reduction. To guide the central region to implement the requirements of carbon intensity control targets, carry out the construction of low-carbon cities and climate-adapted cities, and support Hubei to build a national carbon emission registration agency.
Attention: China Cement Network will hold the " 2024 China Cement Double Carbon Conference and the 12th Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference " in Wuhu Conch International Hotel on October 24-25. The conference will focus on the core issues of low-carbon development and green upgrading in the cement industry, discuss the application of energy efficiency improvement and energy-saving and carbon reduction technologies, and how the cement industry can use the carbon trading mechanism to promote its low-carbon transformation.
