(Policy Interpretation)* * The work report proposed six major tasks for energy conservation, emission reduction and ecological environmental protection in 2009. The 2008 work review continued to eliminate backward production capacity, shutting down 16.69 million kilowatts of small thermal power plants and 1,054 small coal mines throughout the year. We will increase investment in infrastructure and basic industries, and build and start a number of major projects in energy, transportation, water conservancy and other fields. The overall regional development strategy has been solidly promoted, and the coordination of regional economic development has been enhanced. 　　Unremittingly promote energy conservation, emission reduction and ecological environment protection. The central government has allocated 42.3 billion yuan in funds to support the construction of ten key energy-saving projects and environmental protection facilities. The country's newly added daily urban sewage treatment capacity is 11.49 million tons, and the newly added capacity of coal-fired desulfurization units is 97.12 million kilowatts. Energy consumption per unit of GDP decreased by 4.59% compared with the previous year, and chemical oxygen demand and sulfur dioxide emissions decreased by 4.42% and 5.95% respectively. 　　In the past three years, energy consumption per unit of GDP has dropped by 10.08%, and chemical oxygen demand and sulfur dioxide emissions have dropped by 6.61% and 8.95% respectively. Consolidate the results of returning farmland to forests and grasslands, and promote ecological protection and construction projects such as natural forests and the sources of the three rivers in Qinghai. Implement water pollution prevention and control plans in key river basins and regions. The white paper "China's Policies and Actions to Address Climate Change" was released. 　　The main task in 2009 is to strictly control loans to enterprises in industries with high energy consumption, high pollution and overcapacity. 　　We will continue to strengthen energy conservation, emission reduction, and ecological and environmental protection. 　　First, we will focus on energy conservation in the three major areas of industry, transportation, and construction, continue to promote the construction of ten key energy-saving projects, and implement energy-saving measures in motors, boilers, automobiles, air conditioners, lighting, etc. 　　The second is to vigorously develop circular economy and clean energy. Adhere to energy conservation, water conservation and land conservation. Actively develop nuclear power, wind power, solar power and other clean energy sources. Promote the industrialization of clean coal technology. Strictly implement energy consumption and environmental protection * * standards, increase the promotion and application of energy-saving technologies and products, and strengthen the comprehensive utilization of resources. 　　The third is to improve various policies on energy conservation and environmental protection, and implement them in accordance with the energy conservation and emission reduction indicator system, assessment system, and monitoring system. 　　The fourth is to carry out national energy conservation and emission reduction actions. * * Government agencies, public enterprises and institutions must play an exemplary role. 　　Fifth, continue to strengthen the prevention and control of pollution in key watersheds and regions, strengthen the control of rocky desertification and desertification, implement ecological construction projects such as key shelterbelts, natural forest protection, and control of sandstorm sources in Beijing and Tianjin, and protect the ecological environment such as water, forests, grasslands, and wetlands. Promote comprehensive improvement of the rural environment. Rectify and standardize the order of mineral resource development. Rationally develop and utilize marine resources. 　　Sixth, implement measures to address climate change * * programs to improve our ability to respond to climate change. Strengthen basic research and capacity building on meteorology, earthquakes, disaster prevention and reduction, and surveying and mapping. 　　Promote resource product price reform. Continue to deepen the reform of electricity prices, gradually improve the formation mechanism of on-grid electricity prices, transmission and distribution prices and sales electricity prices, and rationalize the relationship between coal and electricity prices in a timely manner. Actively promote water price reform, gradually increase the price of non-agricultural water supplied by water conservancy projects, and improve the water resource fee collection and management system. Accelerate the establishment and improvement of the paid use system and ecological compensation mechanism for mineral resources, and actively carry out emissions trading pilot projects.
