Extreme weather "knock on the alarm bell"!Green Finance and Technology To Breakthrough

This summer, the extreme weather is frequent, and Shanghai has experienced about 50 high temperature days. In the face of extreme climate events that may become normal, the most important thing is to act.

"The main reason for extreme weather is the local 'hot dome' and global warming caused by abnormal atmospheric circulation." Li Qin, a researcher at the Think Tank of the Fudan Development Research Institute, pointed out to the reporter of the International Financial News that "the climate change has become the most at present One of the important issues of important and most concerned. In the context of the "double carbon" goal, green finance will usher in huge development opportunities and space. "

Shanghai's "special character"

On October 24, 2021, the Party Central Committee and State Council issued the "Opinions on Complete and accurately implement the new development concepts to do a good job of carbon peak, carbon neutrality and work". On October 26 of the same year, the State Council issued the "Carbon Peak Action Plan A before 2030".

"The world's critical point has come to the dual -carbon market, climate -related investment and financing is growing rapidly, and the market prospects are broad." Chai Qimin, director of the Strategic Planning Department of the National Climate Strategy Center, told the International Financial News reporter Investment, green bonds cumulative issuance, carbon market coverage and discharge scale ranks first in the world. "

"Shanghai, which is in the oversized cities, shoulders the responsibility of exploring financial transformation paths in the background of 'double carbon'." Li Qin said.

In October 2021, the Shanghai Municipal Government issued the "Implementation Opinions on Building the International Green Financial Hub Service Carbon Peak, Carbon neutrality", and proposed 24 measures from seven aspects. "This is not only the overall planning plan for Shanghai to build an international green financial hub, but also a action program for Shanghai to actively promote the development of green finance to help the country to achieve the 'double carbon' goal." Li Qin said.

It is worth mentioning that on July 16, 2021, the national carbon emission trading market settled in Shanghai officially launched online transactions and became the world's largest carbon market. "As of November of that year, the cumulative transactions in the country's carbon market exceeded 800 million yuan, all of which were spot transactions, not derivatives." Li Qin emphasized that "driven by the concept of the two mountains, Shanghai has continuously deepened the government and corporate financial industries. Link, explore the green financial innovation model, promote the construction of the carbon financial market, and contribute Shanghai's wisdom and Shanghai plan for global green development. "

Li Qin said, "Shanghai proposed to strive to achieve carbon peaks in 2025, five years earlier than the national goals. Taking Shanghai's environmentally friendly green investment as an example, the total investment in Shanghai exceeds 3%of Shanghai GDP. Including water governance and garbage classification. Not only that, there are many pilots and measures to achieve the "double carbon" goals in the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integration Demonstration Zone. Development of green finance is an important guarantee for realizing green development. "

The "key leap" of digital technology

Faced with the transformation pressure and opportunities brought by the "double carbon" goal, Chinese companies are carrying out a large number of technologies, engineering and business model innovations. While contributing carbon reduction, it promotes the development and upgrading of the industry.

"Towards zero carbon is a revolution in energy production and consumption. The most important of which is the deep decarburization and re -electrification of the energy system." Chai Qimin said that digital technology will help enterprises show their fists. "According to relevant reports, digital technology, digital technology The carbon reduction effect can reach 10 times. In the short term, digital technology can reduce about 50 million tons of carbon emissions per year. "

Chen Yan, vice president of Public Affairs of DHL Group, revealed to the reporter of the International Financial News, "We do logistics, operating in more than 200 countries, and the number of carbon emissions is actually very large. Among them Aviation is generated, followed by the logistics and sea transportation of the road. In the next few years, the company invested an additional 7 billion euros to solve the problem of carbon emissions. There are many disasters this year. There is a part of responsibility. "

"The role of digital technology to promote emission reduction comes from three aspects." Chai Qimin further pointed out that first of all, digital technology can improve efficiency and energy efficiency. Taking the IT and communication industry as an example, digital technology continues to improve the data transmission efficiency of the unit, while reducing unit energy consumption Essence Secondly, digitalization can strengthen the coordinated efficiency of the industrial chain, achieve system optimization, thereby greatly reducing material consumption and energy consumption, and building a green and low -carbon industrial ecology. Finally, digitalization can also promote new production and consumption methods, and promote large -scale technology change in industrial and other fields.

However, there are still many ways to go from "drawing" to "products", and there are still many ways to go.

"The carbon neutrality is much more beneficial, especially to help us get rid of the dependence on fossil energy." Tang Zhehui, the audit service partner of Anyong Dahua District, told the International Financial News reporter, "But in the process of achieving carbon neutrality, we must To ensure economic development, many factors need to be coordinated. First, technology is feasible, and good technologies developed in the laboratory must also be commercially practical. Vigorously develop low -carbon technology that can be replicated and promoted; the other is that the cost must be controlled, the laboratory It can be very expensive, but it is economically reasonable to use business. "

"Enterprises generally face four challenges: lack of top -level planning, limited technical capabilities, insufficient management and cultural construction, and supply chain management. Especially in the production process renovation, management process reshaping, and new technology integration. Collaborate with each other. "Xiong Yi, a senior vice president of Schneider Electric and the leader of strategic and business development, told reporters of the International Financial News that if companies want to be an excellent empowerment to drive the entire industry chain and even the ecosystem, carbon reduction, first of all The enterprise itself must be a successful practitioner. In addition, it must have a solution that can be landed and a wide range of ecosystems. At the same time, it has strong innovation capabilities to drive up the industry upstream and downstream. At the 2022 Pujiang Innovation Forum · Green Technology Bank Summit Forum, Shang Yuying, deputy secretary -general of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, pointed out that Shanghai will promote the development of green technology banks and make efforts in the future: First, continuously improve the international green technology transfer mechanism, Focus on the needs of key areas and key industries in dual carbon, do a good job of supporting technical transfer and transformation, form a mode of transformation and transformation of green technology transfer that can be replicated and promoted, and explore the establishment of a mutual promotion mechanism for green technology transactions and carbon transactions; the second is to continue to do it Strong green financial service system, give full play to the advantages of Shanghai's financial resources agglomeration, technology and industrial foundation, explore green financial reform and innovation, guide financial capital and other factors to support the innovation and development of low -carbon industry and the green transformation of traditional high -carbon industries; Expand the global green and low -carbon cooperation network, build an international green technology collaborative innovation alliance, promote international scientific and technological cooperation in standard recognition, standards for standards, joint research, and knowledge sharing, and promote the "two -way travel" of green technology supply and demand.
