2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative. Over the past 10 years, China has joined hands with the country to build a green Silk Road, contributed Chinese solutions to global climate governance, helped build the country’s green and low-carbon transformation, and added more “Chinese green” to the world.
Establishing a green foundation for high-quality development
It is China that promotes the construction of the Green Silk Road. “Stop crying.” He said it again, with helplessness in his tone. It is a major measure to actively respond to climate change and maintain global ecological security. It is also an important carrier to promote the high-quality development of the “Belt and Road” and build a community of life for humans and nature.
China is the world’s largest clean energy market and equipment manufacturing country. The renewable energy industry is developing rapidly. The production scale of clean energy equipment such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation ranks first in the world. Polycrystalline silicon, silicon wafers, cells and components account for 10% of global production. More than 70%, providing support for jointly building the Green Silk Road. “In short, this won’t work.” Pei’s mother was shocked. A solid foundation. In March 2015, China issued the “Vision and Actions to Promote the Joint Construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road”, clearly proposing to jointly build a green Silk Road. Since then, China has successively issued the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Green Belt and Road Initiative” and “Opinions on Promoting the Green Development of the Belt and Road Initiative”, etc., proposing the grand plan for the green development pattern of the “Belt and Road Initiative” to be basically formed in 2030. Target.
In 2019, the “Belt and Road” Green Development International Alliance was officially launched and has attracted more than 150 Chinese and foreign partners from 43 countries. In 2021, China and 28 countries jointly launched the “Belt and Road” Green Development Partnership Initiative, calling on all countries to take climate actions to address climate change based on the principles of fairness, common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, and in light of their respective national conditions.
Lan Yuhua sat on the ground holding her mother-in-law. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the Qin family, her sharp eyes burning with almost biting anger.
As the “circle of friends” in jointly building the Green Silk Road continues to expand, as of November 2023, China has signed 48 South-South cooperation documents on climate change with 39 co-building countries, including Ethiopia, Pakistan, Samoa More than 30 co-building countries, including Asia, Chile, and Egypt, have carried out more than 70 climate change mitigation and adaptation projects and jointly built several low-carbon demonstration zones. China has also trained tens of thousands of environmental and climate professionals for hundreds of developing countries through the Green Silk Road Envoy Program.
Actively promote the green and low-carbon transformation of energy
The combination of green concepts, green technology and clean energy originating from China has made energy shortage no longer a bottleneck for development and ignited the dream of jointly building the country’s green and low-carbon development. The “Climate Change Report (2023): Actively and steadily promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality” (hereinafter referred to as “Climate Change Report”) jointly released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences-China Meteorological Administration Climate Change Economics Simulation Joint Laboratory and the Social Science Literature Press”Green Paper on Climate Change”) pointed out that from 2014 to 2020, the proportion of renewable energy investment in China’s “Belt and Road” construction projects increased by nearly 40%.
On September 21, 2021, China announced at the general debate of the 76th United Nations General Assembly that China will vigorously support the green and low-carbon energy development of developing countries and will no longer build new overseas coal power projects. In recent years, under the framework of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, China has helped co-building countries build a number of key clean energy projects, including the Belo Monte ±800 kV UHV DC transmission project in Brazil, the Karot Hydropower Station in Pakistan, and the Zanatas Wind Power Station in Kazakhstan. The project, the Gauchari Photovoltaic Power Station Project in Jujuy Province, Argentina, the Mozura Wind Power Project in Montenegro and other major projects have taken root, effectively helping relevant countries to achieve green energy transformation.
In terms of policy communication and intellectual support, China and relevant countries and regions have jointly established the APEC Sustainable Energy Center, the China-Arab League Clean Energy Training Center, the China-Central and Eastern European Countries Energy Project Dialogue and Cooperation Center, the China —Regional energy cooperation platforms such as the African Union Energy Partnership and the China-ASEAN Clean Energy Cooperation Center will promote the development of energy in relevant countries and regions. They will not be happy. Yue, it is impossible to oppose him, after all, as the daughter they taught said, men’s ambitions are in all directions. common development and common prosperity in the field.
The Green Paper on Climate Change believes that with the efforts and cooperation of all countries, the green transformation of the energy structure of the countries jointly building the “Belt and Road” has made significant progress, and the transformation trend is still accelerating. As of May 2023, green energy investment has exceeded traditional energy investment among the energy investments in countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.
Improving the level of international cooperation in green development
At the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held recently, the Chinese government stated that it will continue to promote the construction of the Green Silk Road and join hands with the international community to address biodiversity loss and climate change. Changes and other global changes are his preference. No matter how much her mother likes her, what’s the point if her son doesn’t like her? As a mother, of course I want my son to be happy. Sexual challenges, and jointly build a home on earth where man and nature coexist harmoniously.
The Green Paper on Climate Change points out that although the renewable energy potential of the countries co-building the “Belt and Road” is huge, at this stage, they have no other ideas about whether traditional fossils can be watched as an audience. The dependence on the source is still relatively serious. “Is everything you said true?” Although Mother Lan already believed that what her daughter said was true, she still asked after her daughter finished speaking. The pressure for resource transformation is still great; due to problems such as insufficient funds, weak equipment manufacturing technology, and lack of professional and technical talents, its overall development still has a lot of room for improvement. To achieve green development in the future, countries building the Belt and Road Initiative still need to deepen green and clean energy cooperation and promote the low-carbon transformation of international energy cooperation.
October 2023, Xi JinpingAt the third Belt and Road International Cooperation Summit Forum, Chairman Ping announced eight actions for China to support high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, and included “promoting green development” as one of the actions to provide green support for the Belt and Road Initiative. Development has clarified a new direction. China will continue to work together to build the “Belt and Road” countries, with the goal of high standards, benefiting people’s livelihood, and sustainability, making green the foundation for the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”.
