Beijing: Advantages of Green Industry Agglomeration
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Beijing has achieved remarkable results in promoting the adjustment of energy structure and the green and low-carbon transformation of industrial structure.
The level of cleanliness of the energy structure has been significantly improved. In 2021, the proportion of clean energy in the city will be 69.9%, an increase of 26.7 percentage points from 2012. Over the years, Beijing’s carbon efficiency and energy efficiency have always maintained the best level in the country’s provincial regions. In 2021, the city’s carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP will decrease by 48% and 38% respectively compared with 2012.
The low-carbon development model has undergone profound transformation. In the process of industrial transformation and adjustment, Beijing adheres to low-carbon development, adheres to “what to choose and what to give up”, accelerates the withdrawal of high-energy-consuming industries, accelerates the development of high-end industries, and has cultivated two trillion-dollar industries of a new generation of information technology and technology services Clusters, forming multiple 100-billion-level industrial clusters such as intelligent equipment, medicine and health, energy conservation and environmental protection, and artificial intelligence.
Hong Kong: First Advantages of Green Finance
Hong Kong is the world‘s fourth largest financial center and the largest offshore RMB settlement center. It has many international institutions and third-party evaluation service agencies that carry out green investment and green asset management, and has formed many first-time practices in the field of green finance.
Wang Wenjie, deputy secretary-general of the Beijing Municipal Government, said that in the future, we look forward to giving full play to the advantages of Beijing’s green industry cluster and Hong Kong’s green finance launch, and jointly exchange experiences in financial support for green technology research and development, promotion, industrialization and application, and to address climate change. The results of green financial cooperation have been implemented and a demonstration model has been formed; actively meet the needs of industrial transformation and upgrading of countries under the “Belt and Road” initiative, and strengthen international investment cooperation in the fields of energy conservation and environmental protection, clean energy, new energy and renewable energy.
As one of the important achievements of this event, the Beijing Green Silk Road Innovation Service Base was awarded and established.
