On August 15th, the first National Ecological Day promotion event in Pudong New Area and the promotion meeting of "Several Provisions on Improving the Ecological Environment Protection System in Pudong New Area in Shanghai" were held at the Pudong New Area Government Office Center.
On June 28th this year, the third meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress decided to establish August 15th as National Ecological Day. On the first National Ecological Day, the "Several Provisions on Improving the Ecological Environment Protection System of Pudong New Area in Shanghai" was officially implemented. There are a total of 15 regulations, which clarify the establishment and improvement of a leadership mechanism for ecological civilization construction in Pudong New Area, and incorporate carbon peaking and carbon neutrality into the overall economic and social development. They also establish and improve incentive and constraint mechanisms to reduce pollution emissions and greenhouse gas emissions, and promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.
On the day of the event, Professor Zhang Zitai, the leader of the legislative expert group for the "Several Regulations on Improving the Ecological Environment Protection System of Pudong New Area in Shanghai", systematically introduced the background and significance of the regulations to enterprises, and looked forward to the direction of the development of Chinese style ecological environment rule of law. Li Yun, Vice President of Shanghai Institute of Environmental Science, interpreted the practical rules of the regulations from a technical operational perspective.
Experts point out that the regulations have made clear arrangements for the implementation of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. "Next, Shanghai and Pudong New Area will promote the dual carbon strategy at a high level, and it is necessary to accelerate the consolidation of the foundation of carbon emission quantification management. Currently, in addition to the traditional energy-saving and emission reduction subsidy reward mechanism, all lines are actively promoting the creation of various low-carbon and zero carbon demonstrations, and it is also necessary to strengthen the effective connection of the method system."
