At the same time, it can effectively guide cities to shift from the past only GDP competition to the dual track competition model of GDP and carbon reduction, making low-carbon development between cities highly efficient and dynamic.
Efforts should be made to avoid “urban mines”.
Qiu Baoxing stated in the report that cities are the home ground of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, and implementing the “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” strategy with cities as the main body is conducive to the layout of renewable energy and carbon sink bases according to local conditions.
Qiu Baoxing, Counselor of the State Council, former Vice Minister of Housing and Urban Rural Development, and Chairman of the China Urban Science Research Association, delivered a report titled “Urban ‘Carbon Neutrality’ and Green Buildings” at the opening ceremony.
The year 2021 is the first year of the 14th Five Year Plan of China, and a Dual circulation will gradually be established, with domestic circulation as the main body and domestic and international double circulation promoting each other.
In the current context of “carbon neutrality and peak carbon”, green buildings have become an important lever for promoting the transformation, upgrading, and high-quality development of the construction industry, and have risen to become a national strategy.

Countries such as the United States and the United States have a different span of 60 to 70 years from carbon peak to carbon neutrality, while China only has about 30 years from carbon peak to carbon neutrality, which is a tight time frame and a heavy task.
To address climate change, the world bears common but differentiated responsibilities.
Green buildings reflect energy-saving, water-saving, and material saving characteristics throughout their entire lifecycle, and the comprehensive implementation of green buildings will provide important contributions to urban carbon neutrality.
Cities are the absolute protagonist in greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for about 75% of the total.
Against this backdrop, the “2021 (17th) International Green Building and Building Energy Conservation Conference and New Technology and Product Expo” kicked off on the morning of the 18th at Chengdu West China International Expo City.
Among them, the construction industry, including building materials, transportation of building materials, and construction operations, is the most important key to determining whether a city’s carbon neutrality is successful.
He introduced that after 300 years of predatory mining during the Industrial Revolution, over 80% of the world’s industrially exploitable mineral resources have been transferred from underground to above ground and piled up in the form of garbage around us, totaling hundreds of billions of tons and increasing by 10 billion tons annually
.
The construction industry is the most important key factor determining the success of carbon neutrality in a city.
At the same time, he pointed out that the integration of wind energy, solar photovoltaic and buildings, through urban organic matter power generation, geothermal and geological energy storage, as well as three-dimensional garden buildings, “Aquaponics” and other models, can play a comprehensive role in reducing emissions and help the city “carbon neutral”.
