Hey there, eco-warriors! 🌎 China just dropped some major news that could shake up the global green scene. The Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council have rolled out fresh guidelines to supercharge the country's green transition across all areas of economic and social development. 💚
So, what's the game plan? By 2030, China aims to make 'remarkable results' in greening up every corner of its economy and society. Fast forward to 2035, and they're looking to have a green, low-carbon, and circular economic system pretty much nailed down, achieving the goal of building a Beautiful China. ✨
The guidelines highlight some key moves like optimizing how land is used and protected, giving a green makeover to industries and the energy sector, and pushing for eco-friendly changes in transport and urban-rural development. 🚗🏙️
Some cool stats to get hyped about: By 2030, China's energy conservation and environmental protection industry is set to hit around 15 trillion yuan (that's about $2.1 trillion!). Plus, non-fossil fuels will make up about 25% of energy consumption, and pumped storage hydropower capacity will soar past 120 million kilowatts. ⚡
But wait, there's more! By the same year, they plan to slash carbon emission intensity in commercial transport by about 9.5% compared to 2020 levels. The annual use of bulk solid waste is expected to reach about 4.5 billion tonnes, and the output rate of main resources should jump by about 45% from 2020. Talk about going green! 🌲
China's big green push is a massive step towards a more sustainable future, not just for them but for the whole planet. Let's hope more countries follow suit! 🤞
