National Bureau of statistics talks about the economic effect of "double carbon": green transformati

Press conference on the operation of national economy in the first half of 2021.

On July 15, at a press conference on the operation of the national economy in the first half of 2021 held by the Information Office of the State Council, Liu Aihua, spokesman of the National Bureau of statistics and director of the Department of comprehensive statistics of the national economy, said that China's economy has changed from a stage of high-speed growth to a stage of high-quality development, and that carbon peaking and carbon neutralization are both a solemn commitment of China to the world, It is also the inevitable requirement of high-quality development and the only way to the modernization process.

Liu Aihua said that from the current stage of development, China is still the largest developing country in the world and has not yet completed the process of industrialization. At this stage, it is really a heavy task and pressure to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutralization.

Liu also said that we should see that promoting green transformation and development may inhibit the short-term growth of some high energy consuming and high emission industries. But at the same time, green transformation and development will also create new demands and give birth to new industries. Green industries such as energy conservation, environmental protection and clean energy will usher in new development opportunities. The green transformation and upgrading of traditional industries will also create huge market demand. We should seize this historical opportunity, actively respond to challenges, and promote China's economic development.
