The report to the 20th CPC National Congress emphasizes that high-quality development is the central task in building a modern socialist country in all aspects. Achieving green and low-carbon economic and social development is identified as a crucial component of this overarching goal. The Central Economic Work Conference underscored the need to actively and steadily pursue carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, while accelerating the establishment of a green, low-carbon supply chain. Additionally, the Central Financial Work Conference called for more efforts in promoting technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance, with particular emphasis on green finance.
