May 15 is the 2024 "National Low Carbon Day". This year's theme is "Green Low Carbon Beautiful China". The "National Low Carbon Day" aims to popularize climate change knowledge, promote the concept of low carbon development, encourage the public to participate actively, and realize the harmonious coexistence of human and nature.

With the development of the world economy and population growth, the global carbon dioxide emissions are increasing, and the earth's ozone layer has been destroyed. The climate problem has become a profound question for all countries. China attaches great importance to tackling climate change, implements the national strategy of actively tackling climate change, solidly promotes carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, establishes and improves the carbon market system, continues to promote industrial restructuring and energy structure optimization, and gathers the joint efforts of the whole society to make positive progress in tackling climate change.

Local managers are duty bound to promote green and low-carbon development. Green low-carbon is characterized by high efficiency, low consumption and cleanness, and is an advanced productivity in line with the new development concept. We should adhere to innovation as the leading factor, optimize the allocation of innovation resources, lead innovation factors to gather in green and low-carbon industries, promote the leap of green productivity, and drive the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Green development is the background of high-quality development, and green productivity is also a new quality productivity, which will promote the sustainable and healthy development of the economy and society, and achieve the unity of economic benefits, social benefits and environmental benefits.

All sectors of society are also making efforts for energy conservation and carbon reduction. In agricultural production, through the use of organic fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer, precise control of water and fertilizer consumption, straw crushing and returning to the field and other measures, reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural production process, and zero carbon agricultural products have come into life. In the tourism industry, efforts should be made to achieve zero net increase in carbon emissions in the scenic spot through afforestation, the use of clean energy, reduction of traditional energy consumption and other measures. With the help of zero carbon scenic spot construction, the Slender West Lake scenic spot can reduce about 3000 tons of carbon emissions a year. From the early stage of preparation for the Hangzhou Asian Games, through green venues, green power, green transportation, green office and other measures, to minimize carbon emissions, enterprises and institutions are also encouraged to donate carbon quotas, carbon credits and so on, becoming the first carbon neutral Asian Games. Practicing green and low-carbon development is becoming the behavioral consciousness of all walks of life.

For ordinary people, low-carbon life is not only an idea, but also an attitude and responsibility. Develop the habit of turning off the lights at will and turning off unused electrical appliances in time; Reduce the use of disposable plastic bags and products without excessive packaging; Try to travel by public transport and reduce driving of fuel cars... Starting from every bit, saving all kinds of resources and energy is to contribute to emission reduction and carbon reduction. What people have done is not only to form a simple, moderate, civilized and healthy lifestyle and consumption mode, but also to deal with the relationship between man and nature.

To protect nature is to protect human beings. Green low-carbon represents a healthier, more natural and more sustainable production and lifestyle. A good social atmosphere for practicing green low-carbon and building a beautiful China is forming. The green and low-carbon industry is full of vitality, which breeds many new opportunities and will create considerable new growth momentum. Let's act together to be the supporters, practitioners and beneficiaries of green and low-carbon.
