Judgment, political insight, and political execution, resolutely shoulder political responsibilities, handle the relationship between development and emissions reduction, overall and partial, short-term and medium-term and long-term, and unswervingly implement and implement this major decision.

The meeting required that we must accurately grasp the focus of carbon peak and carbon neutrality work, vigorously optimize the energy structure, in-depth adjustment of the industrial structure, focus on energy conservation and carbon reduction in the transportation and construction sectors, strengthen major scientific and technological research, consolidate and improve carbon sink capabilities, and accelerate the improvement of policies Security System.
