Solutions to the problem of global resource shortage
There are three steps to solve the problem of resource shortage. Xinhua News Agency 2005-06-07 00:00:00.0

First, establish a scientific concept of energy.

Specifically, the following five aspects should be achieved: 1. It conforms to the trend of peace and development. In the period of economic transformation, new contradictions and uncertain factors will appear, so we must plan or formulate the resource strategy from the strategic height and the height of human civilization. 2. It conforms to the law of economic and social development. The world is a whole, so we should think from the overall way of thinking, strengthen internal forces with the help of external forces, and make full use of various resources in the two markets and the information age. 3. Conform to the law of natural development. To develop circular economy, we can't take the road of heavy industry. Scientific development, utilization, allocation and management of resources, indiscriminate exploitation of resources, destruction of ecological balance, it is impossible to achieve sustainable economic development. 4. It conforms to the humanistic spirit of putting people first. The resource strategy should be responsible for the survival and development of future generations, not only to create material civilization, but also to create spiritual civilization and ecological civilization, and to meet the wishes and needs of the people in a down-to-earth manner. 5. Obey scientific laws. We should improve the mechanism, adjust the structure, actively develop the tertiary industry and reduce energy consumption. Carry out the policy of giving priority to development and conservation. The resource development strategy should be based on the domestic market. Development is not a free lunch, but also the natural cost. The core of Scientific Outlook on Development's scientific energy concept is science, the goal is sustainable development, and the key point is the coordinated development of energy and environmental protection, resources, economic development and people's affordability.

Second, open source and reduce expenditure.

Liu Jianming, a senior researcher at China Academy of Sciences, pointed out that to cope with the shortage of resources, opening up sources and reducing expenditure is the way out. Throttling is to change the mode of economic growth from extensive to economical. Open source is to obtain more available resources.

The problem of mineral resources can be specifically refined into three aspects: first, based on the domestic market, to obtain more available mineral resources; Second, explore overseas and obtain more foreign resources in a more economical and safer way, such as investment, cooperation, futures, spot and so on; Third, actively explore new alternative resources.

Liu Jianming said that the security of mineral resources is directly related to the country's economic security and national defense security, and the strength of mineral resources is an important part of comprehensive national strength. From the perspective of economic development and national security, China's resource strategy must be based on the domestic market, and cannot rely too much on the international market. Liu Jianming proposed to innovate the government investment mechanism, strengthen scientific and technological support, and enliven and prosper the commercial exploration market in China. Under the current market economy conditions, commercial investment in market operation should be given priority to, supplemented by government investment.

In order to activate the prosperous commercial exploration market, the direction of government investment is to first improve the level of basic geological work; Secondly, commercial prospecting projects with low risk and good resource prospects are continuously launched to attract investment; Third, provide high-tech support for prospecting and exploration.

Seeking new unconventional alternative resources is a brand-new idea to solve the shortage of human mineral resources, and it is also the demand of the rise of emerging industries. On the one hand, mineral resources are non-renewable, and traditional mineral resources will be exhausted with their continuous consumption. On the other hand, the rise of emerging industries puts forward new requirements for mineral raw materials, such as the demand for natural nano-mineral raw materials by nano-industries and the demand for environmental mineral raw materials by environmental protection industries. With the adjustment of economic structure-industrial structure, these demands will become more and more urgent. Therefore, it is imperative to constantly explore new unconventional alternative resources.

Third, make full use of the market mechanism.

Professor Chang Qing, vice president of China Futures Association and research center of China Agricultural University, proposed that China must establish its own energy pricing center. The internal relationship between global energy price rise and "China factor" and China's economic transformation in this environment fully shows that energy is one of the main problems that China must face in the current economic model transformation. Due to the disadvantages of China's traditional economic growth mode in the past decades, the Central Economic Work Conference at the end of 2004 once again proposed "vigorously promoting structural adjustment and promoting the transformation of economic growth mode".

Implementing sustainable development and new energy pricing policy is one of the basic measures for us to deal with the global energy crisis in the transformation of economic model, which is matched with vigorously developing China futures market and establishing our own energy pricing center by reforming the market system and rules system on the basis of drawing lessons from international practices.

The resource market itself is a problem, but the bigger problem is the price mechanism, which is full of opportunities but also risks. In fact, the resource industry is highly sensitive to the exchange rate system and national policies. Therefore, in order to deeply analyze the resource problem, we should pay attention to the exchange rate issue and other economic policies at the same time, and pay attention to the economic characteristics of China.
