Fourth, we will put in place the spatial development and protection system. We
will advance the implementation of the system of functional zoning, establish and
enforce a unified spatial planning system as soon as possible, improve the spatial
governance system, and stick to a single blueprint until the end. We will carry out the
campaign on comprehensive management of territorial spaces covering urban areas,
rural areas, ecological functional zones, mineral resources development zones, and
coastal zones, establish the nature reserve system centred on national parks, and build
national ecological security shields.
Fifth, we will develop the green development market service system. We will
further boost green finance and experiment with green finance tools such as green
loans, green bonds, green insurance, green funds, and green certificate trading. We
will improve the carbon trading market, including the information disclosure system,
and increase the transparency of allocation of carbon emission quotas; carry out pilot
programs with diversified products and ways of trading, draw up relevant regulatory
rules, establish accounting rules for carbon assets and carbon trading, and strengthen
supervision over carbon trading with overseas entities. We will promote the pollutant
discharge rights trading system, extend the pilot programs on paid use and trading of
pollutant discharge rights to more regions where conditions permit, and improve the
mechanism that allows enterprises to benefit more from emission reduction through
pollutant discharge rights trading. In addition, we will promote pollutant discharge
rights trading across different administrative regions in key river basins and key
regions of the air pollution prevention and control initiative.
Sixth, we will promote green lifestyles and consumption. We will advocate simple,
moderate, green, and low-carbon lifestyles, encourage the use of green products, and
provide more effective incentives for green mobility. We will establish dedicated
circulation channels for green products, support the establishment of green wholesale
markets, green malls, energy-saving supermarkets, water-saving supermarkets, and
so forth, and encourage marketplaces, malls, supermarkets, souvenir shops, and other
businesses to set up dedicated zones for green products. We will promote green
consumption through the “Internet Plus” initiative, encourage ecommerce enterprises
to sell green products and services independently or in partnership with brick-andmortar enterprises, and boost online trading of green products and second-hand items
to meet the diverse needs of different groups for green products.
Finally, we will improve the green development regulatory system. We will reform
the evaluation system and put in place relevant institutions as soon as possible.
Specifically, we will deepen the environmental regulation system reform, improve
environmental laws and regulations, optimize the regulatory structure, and enhance
professional regulatory capabilities to make environmental regulation more effective.
We will reform the resource and environmental management system and cultivate
an environmental governance system where the government takes a leadership role,
enterprises play a major role, and social organizations and the public participate.
The 14th Five-Year Plan period will be a critical period for China to shift towards
green development. Only by accelerating green transformation can we lay the groundwork for making a fundamental improvement in the environment and basically
