What does it mean to "be the first to reach peak carbon emissions where conditions permit"?

The "Proposals of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" clearly stated that the period of the "14th Five-Year Plan" will promote clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient use of energy

To formulate an action plan for peak carbon emissions, it is necessary to clarify the level of the peak, when and how to reach the peak

The first is high-speed peaking, which is defined from the time scale

The second is high-intensity peaking, setting a lower peak level for China's carbon emissions

The third is high-quality peaking, which means that peaking is achieved under the premise that the entire industry is developing with clean and low-carbon development, and the energy system and energy structure have begun to undergo fundamental changes and transformations

"Achieving carbon neutrality by 2060" is China's deployment to achieve the global long-term goal of controlling the global temperature rise not exceeding 2°C and striving to control it below 1.

First, make green recovery the main line of development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period

Second, give full play to the role of the carbon emissions trading mechanism in carbon dioxide emission reduction and low-carbon development

Third, integrate the innovative factors of low-carbon emission reduction to promote the transformation of economic and social development

Fourth, strengthen the construction of the climate change governance system and governance capabilities

The author suggests that the leading role of the "14th Five-Year Plan" can be fully utilized to promote economic transformation and upgrading and energy structure optimization
