China News Service, Beijing, June 5 (Xu Jing Chen Hang) It is reported that Beijing is carrying out carbon peak assessment in accordance with relevant national regulations and is studying and formulating the city's carbon neutral action plan.

June 5th is World Environment Day.

Bei Jing and Platform for Action will be developed in carbon

Liu Xianshu, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, introduced that since my country announced its 2030 carbon peak and 2060 carbon neutral commitments in September 2020, in accordance with national overall planning, Beijing is conducting carbon peak assessment and research in accordance with relevant national regulations.

At the forum, Ouyang Minggao, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor of the School of Vehicles and Transportation of Tsinghua University, focused on the new energy revolution oriented to carbon neutrality, focusing on the development of new energy technologies such as green hydrogen energy that can be promoted and the development of new energy vehicles.

The capital's leading enterprises launched a low-carbon development initiative.

He believes that the main areas of Beijing's carbon emission reduction are transportation, power and construction.

He Kebin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at the School of Environment of Tsinghua University, analyzed the decisive effect of low-carbon energy transition on the long-term continuous improvement of air quality under the "double carbon" goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality from the perspective of pollution reduction and carbon reduction synergy.

He said that the low-carbon transformation of key emission sectors should be accelerated.

　　Experts unanimously believe that urban reduction and high-quality development are favorable conditions for a metropolis like Beijing to achieve carbon peaks and carbon emission reductions, as well as a solid foundation for carbon neutrality.

　　Urban linkage promotes green life

　　At the forum, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, together with the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Municipal Education Commission, the Municipal Committee of the Youth League and the Municipal Women’s Federation, jointly formulated and issued the "Beijing "Beautiful China, I am an Actor" Action to enhance citizens’ awareness of ecological civilization.

Environmental protection social organizations and other representatives (from the second from left) successively launched the initiative of "Reduce Pollution and Carbon, Build a Beautiful Beijing".

According to reports, the implementation plan puts forward key arrangements in six aspects, including deepening theoretical publicity and study, continuing to promote news and publicity, extensive social mobilization, strengthening ecological civilization education, promoting the participation of all sectors of society, and innovating publicity methods and methods, and 19 specific tasks have been deployed.

　　Capital Enterprise Launches Low Carbon Initiative

　　In order to encourage capital enterprises to enhance their awareness of voluntary emission reduction, and to formulate low-carbon development and carbon neutral strategies for enterprises, five leading enterprises in the capital launched low-carbon development initiatives at the forum.

　　It is reported that this is the first low-carbon initiative jointly launched by the capital's leading enterprises.

　　At the same time, the five companies also put forward a practical action plan, including scientifically formulating carbon emission control goals, strategies and measures, including quantified phased goals, and organizing their implementation; publicly releasing the formulated plans, regularly releasing emission information and reducing emissions Progress and effectiveness; mobilize upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain to take active actions, etc.
At the scene, five companies signed a low-carbon development commitment.

　　At the end of the event, representatives of environmental protection social organizations, representatives of community residents, and representatives of college students successively launched the “Reducing Pollution and Carbon, and Building a Beautiful Beijing” initiative, calling on the whole society to take part in the construction of ecological civilization and jointly cheer for the beautiful Beijing.
