Earth Science Papers 1 * * * Protecting the Green Earth
Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation signed a cooperation agreement, which enabled us to do something practical for the green economy. This is not only the main purpose of this association, but also a kind of grief for the victims in Ya 'an and Lushan areas, and also fully expresses our warning and reflection on natural disasters!
With all the achievements and means of human wisdom and technology, people can't see a green planet as beautiful as the earth in the Milky Way, and they can't hear any sound of life information from outside the Milky Way. How lucky human beings are to live on the green earth. But this kind of luck is conditional. First, the earth has life and death. At present, the earth has existed for 4.5 billion years, and no one knows how long it will last. Second, the earth is alive, and human beings are just a species in life. Third, the earth also has the physical ability of self-repair and self-purification. The fire in Xing 'an Mountains burned the pine trees, and patches of birch forests will grow in the second year. When the birch forests are burned out, dense pine trees will grow. Animals inhale oxygen and spit out carbon dioxide, while plants inhale carbon dioxide and spit out oxygen. The ecological balance caused by the operation of nature is very wonderful. Fourth, is the cause of the earth's demise natural death? Or the damage caused by external forces? Or is it the power from within, that is, the power of people? Although man cannot dominate nature, he can dominate the lives of all other animal and plant species. Because human beings are at the top of the whole animal chain, they can cut down large rainforests in Amazon and Congo River, and they can also kill all mammals except themselves. Mankind has experienced more than 200 years of industrialization, and two industrial revolutions have greatly improved the level of human civilization. In a sense, it is not too much to compare human beings to the creator. However, industrialization has also brought a lot of greenhouse gases. As long as greenhouse gases re-wrap the earth, close it, block its self-repair and purification functions, and lose the exchange between the earth and the body, life on the earth will almost be extinct, and the earth will actually perish. This is how people destroy the earth.
China has become the second largest economy in the world since the reform and opening up 30 years ago, and it is also the second largest economy in the world in terms of pollution discharge! Please see that China accounts for 70% of global emissions of sulfur dioxide, 20% of carbon dioxide, 30% of BOD, 40% of ODS and 25% of mercury. Some people say that China is the locomotive that drives the development of the world economy, but it is a red locomotive with high energy consumption, high input, high pollution and low efficiency. How to respond to this statement is not important. The key is that China must make up its mind to be a green locomotive with low energy consumption, low input, low pollution and high efficiency. In 2006, China? Eleventh Five-Year Development Plan? The quantitative task of energy saving and emission reduction is put forward for the first time. In 2007, the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was first put forward? Building a socialist ecological civilization? The strategic concept of. 20 12 party's follow-up proposal? Five in one? Civilization construction. Look at history again, in June 1982 65438+ 10 1, the first document issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in that year put forward the agricultural demand of China. While giving full play to the advantages of China's traditional agricultural technology, we should make extensive use of modern scientific and technological achievements and take the road of saving investment, low energy consumption, high efficiency and being conducive to protecting the ecological environment?
At the beginning of China's reform, the Ministry of Urban and Rural Construction and Environmental Protection was established. Chinese Ecological Society? 1984 was established again in April? China Society of Ecological Economics? . Comrade Wan Li is the president of the latter society. Comrade Wan Li said at the inaugural meeting: Generally speaking, our country's understanding of ecological and economic issues is not enough. In some places, the ecological conditions are not good, but poor. Greening is not only an economic problem, but also a problem of human living conditions. The soil erosion in the Yellow River basin has not been alleviated, but the area of soil erosion in the Yangtze River basin has also expanded. At present, the fishing capacity has exceeded the renewable capacity of seawater resources? ; Many people? It often harms beneficial birds and animals for immediate economic benefits, destroys ecological balance, leads to the increase of pests and the aggravation of rat damage, and the result is not worth the candle. In the future, the problem of water shortage in northern cities will become increasingly prominent. ? Industry? Three wastes? What happened? On the one hand, it is industrial compensation, on the other hand, cultivated land is polluted, resulting in double economic losses. Some diseases can be called environmental diseases, which must be carefully studied and solved in the modernization drive. ? There is also a problem in solving urban construction? How to build a city according to the law of ecological economy? problem Comrade Wan Li also cited Engles' examples of Mesopotamia, Greece, Asia Minor, Alps and Cuba to illustrate ecological and economic problems, indicating that if human beings violate the laws of nature, they will be doubly punished by nature. Twenty-nine years later, the world has a richer understanding of ecology, environmental protection and green economy, and the task is more urgent. There are many agreements on various ecological environments in the world, and the United Nations also has various conventions on these issues. Like what? Kyoto protocol? ,? Convention on the Protection of Biological Diversity? ,? Rio Declaration on Environment and Development? Wait a minute. At present, some experts and scholars have proposed a new economic era combining the Internet with new energy. Internet, new energy, new materials, biotechnology, energy conservation and emission reduction, and low-carbon economy have become the key words to reflect the new economic era. During his first presidency, Obama also talked about his five green dreams, and successfully put shale gas production into the market last year, gradually replacing oil. Under the general trend of world economy, the cooperation between China banking and China green NGOs is of great significance. On behalf of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, I would like to congratulate this long-term cooperation and wish it success. At the same time, I put forward some hopes:
First, learn all kinds of theories and theories about the development of green economy at home and abroad, and closely follow the latest scientific and technological achievements in the world. Don't think that ecology, environmental protection and green will not be interfered by dogmatic ideology. Comrade Wan Li said at that meeting: There is a wrong view. It is believed that ecological destruction and vicious circle will only occur in capitalist countries. We are a socialist country, and such problems will not happen. ? Does this view hold water? It can't be established at all. In fact, many European countries, as well as Australia, Canada and Japan, have done better than us in this respect. In my opinion, as long as people are born, as long as people are with the earth, there will be universal values, and we can make the most profound and recent original interpretation of fraternity, global village, ecological civilization and biological chain. Europe and America have polluted the air and land for 200 years, and we have only been 30 years. Developing countries must not emphasize environmental protection, and developed countries in Europe and America take it for granted.
Second, create a smooth process and profit model for green enterprises and green credit. Shanghai Pudong Development Bank1opened on October 9th 1993, listed on June 9th 1994. The bank's total assets are 20100 billion, the balance of local and foreign currency loans is1100 billion, and the balance of various deposits is160 billion, 2065438. Now Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is willing to give green enterprises a credit line of 30 billion yuan, but green enterprises must meet the corresponding conditions before they can obtain actual loans, and the recommendation of the foundation must also have corresponding business knowledge. The credit flow and profit model in the process of bank-enterprise cooperation should be more complete and perfect. Because this is an innovative project, it uses the profit model to drive the public welfare effect, rather than simply doing public welfare undertakings. Input should have output, and green credit should have the value of energy saving, emission reduction and green appreciation. Some enterprises present here have built Jin Qiao 'an Power Station with an installed capacity of 2.4 million in Jinsha River of the Yangtze River, and now it has been transformed into solar film power station equipment. Enterprises with sand construction industry are used for waste well oil production, construction industry and agricultural water saving; There is the Alashan Ecological Alliance established in Inner Mongolia, in which nearly 100 enterprises participate to change the ecological environment; Develop new energy sources and translate and publish Jeremy? Enterprises in Rifkin's The Third Industrial Revolution. If the cooperation between banks and enterprises is successful, green enterprises will get the necessary loans and become heroic and useful enterprises. Banks will also have more qualified and loyal customers and become heroic and useful banks.
Third, whether Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and the Foundation can develop a closer relationship in the future. This reform of government institutions has opened the door for the horizontal connection between enterprises and non-governmental organizations and the loosening of decentralization. We should seize the opportunity to further strengthen and expand the links among enterprises, banks, foundations and governments, and play a greater role at home and abroad.
