China's sulfur dioxide emissions slowed down in recent years and even increased

Xinhua Beijing, May 5, the State Council May 4 issued a notice on further efforts to ensure the realization of "Eleven-Five" energy-saving emission reduction targets, the Chinese government network published the full text of the notice today.　　The notice said that the current situation of energy-saving emission reduction is very serious, especially since the third quarter of 2009, the intensity of energy consumption, sulfur dioxide emissions slowed down even from the decline, the decline in the total amount of chemical oxygen demand has slowed markedly. The notice calls for strengthening the sense of urgency and responsibility for energy saving and emission reduction. The notice said, "Eleven-Five" energy-saving emission reduction indicators are legally binding indicators, is the government's solemn commitment to the people of the country, is to measure the implementation of the scientific concept of development, accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure, change the effectiveness of the development of the important signs of economic and social sustainable development, related to the　　It is related to the international image of our country. The notice pointed out that the current, energy-saving emission reduction situation is very serious, especially since the third quarter of 2009, high energy consumption, high emission industry rapid growth, some of the obsolete production capacity has been eliminated, energy demand has increased significantly, energy intensity, sulfur dioxide emissions slowed down or even from the decline to rise, The downward trend of the total emission of chemical oxygen demand has slowed down markedly.　　In response to global climate change, our government has pledged to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of GDP by 2020 by 40% to 45%, the contribution rate of energy efficiency to more than 85%, which also brings great challenges to energy saving and emission reduction. Notice that all regions and departments should fully understand the importance and urgency of strengthening energy-saving and emission reduction work, strengthen the sense of mission and responsibility, make greater determination, spend more strength, take decisive and effective policy measures, and fight the Battle of energy saving and emission reduction, and ensure the realization of "Eleven-Five" energy saving and emission reduction
