China still depends on coal for more than 60% of its power despite big investments in the process of shifting to nuclear, solar and wind power renewable energy resources alignment with Paris climate change agreement (Paris CCA). Chinese government through the Communist Party Central Committee (CPCC) ascribes great importance and commitment to Paris CCA legacy and history landmark implementation at all levels. As the world's biggest carbon dioxide emitter, China has embarked on "SMART" pollution and climate changes programs and measures to reduce coal-fired power plants to less than 50% in the next five years include: new China model of energy policies commitment on CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions reductions to less than 20% non-fossil energy use by 2030 without undermining their economic growth, newly introduced electric vehicles transportation benefits, interactive and sustained air quality index (AQI) monitoring systems, decreasing reliance on fossil fuel economic activities, revision of energy price reforms and renewable energy to less energy efficient technologies development. Furthermore, ongoing CPCC improved environmental initiatives, implemented strict regulations and penalties on local companies and firms' pollution production management, massive infrastructures such as highways to reduce CO2 expansion of seven regional emissions trading markets and programs for CO2 emissions and other pollutants are being documented. Maximizing on the centralized nature of the China's government, implemented Chinese pollution, climate changes mitigation and adaptation initiatives, "SMART" strategies and credible measures are promising. A good and practical example is the interactive and dynamic website and database covering 367 Chinese cities and providing real time information on environmental and pollution emissions AQI. Also, water quality index (WQI), radiation and nuclear safety monitoring and management systems over time and space. These are ongoing Chinese valuable and exemplary leadership in Paris CCA implementation to the global community. Especially to pragmatic and responsible efforts to support pollution and climate changes capacity development, technology transfer and empowerment in emissions surveillance and monitoring systems and "SMART" integrated climate changes mitigation packages in global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) context, citizenry health and wellbeing.
中国仍然依赖煤炭来满足超过 60%的电力需求,尽管在向核能、太阳能和风能等可再生能源转型方面进行了大量投资,以符合《巴黎气候变化协定》(Paris CCA)。中国政府通过中央委员会(CPCC)高度重视并承诺履行《巴黎气候变化协定》的遗留问题和历史里程碑,并在各级层面上予以执行。作为世界上最大的二氧化碳排放国,中国已经启动了“智能”污染和气候变化计划和措施,以在未来五年内将燃煤电厂减少到 50%以下,包括:新的中国能源政策模式承诺减少二氧化碳和温室气体排放,到 2030 年非化石能源使用比例达到 20%,同时不影响经济增长;新引入的电动汽车交通效益;互动和持续的空气质量指数(AQI)监测系统;减少对化石燃料经济活动的依赖;能源价格改革和可再生能源修订以及对低能效技术的发展。此外,中央委员会正在实施环境改善倡议,对地方公司和企业的污染生产管理实施严格的法规和处罚,大规模基础设施(如高速公路)以减少七个区域排放交易市场和 CO2 排放及其他污染物的扩张计划。最大限度地利用中国政府的集中性质,实施中国的污染、气候变化缓解和适应倡议、“智能”战略和可信措施是有希望的。一个很好的实际例子是互动和动态的网站和数据库,涵盖了 367 个中国城市,并提供有关环境和污染排放 AQI 的实时信息。此外,还提供了水质指数(WQI)、辐射和核安全监测和管理系统,以及随着时间和空间的推移,对排放监测和监测系统以及“智能”综合气候变化缓解一揽子计划的监测。这些都是中国在《巴黎气候变化协定》执行方面向全球社会提供的宝贵和典范的领导力。特别是在支持污染和气候变化能力发展、技术转让和赋权方面,以及在排放监测和监测系统以及“智能”综合气候变化缓解一揽子计划方面,中国在全球可持续发展目标(SDGs)背景下支持公民健康和福祉方面发挥了务实和负责任的作用。
