In the past five years, Shanghai's green technology transaction contract value has increased at an average annual rate of 48.68%, reaching 117.47 billion yuan in 2022.

On September 11, one of the special forums of the 2023 Pujiang Innovation Forum, the "Green and Low-Carbon Innovation Forum" was held in Hongkou District, Shanghai.

Liu Duo, deputy mayor of Shanghai, said in his opening speech that the development of green and low-carbon undertakings is related to the future of the world. In recent years, under the careful guidance of the Ministry of Science and Technology and other national ministries and commissions, Shanghai has accelerated the construction of a technological innovation center with global influence, strived to build an important hosting place for the national carbon emissions trading market, and continued to promote green and low-carbon technology innovation and green and low-carbon transformation. , and made positive progress.

Liu Duo said that at present, the total number of green patent applications in Shanghai has reached 13,000 , and there are 79 national-level green factories, 7 green supply chains, 6 green parks, and 57 green products that have been certified. A number of platforms and institutions, including the Shanghai Low-Carbon Technology Innovation Functional Platform, the Green Technology Bank, and the Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange, have settled in Shanghai. In the past five years, Shanghai's green technology transaction contract value has increased at an average annual rate of 48.68% , reaching 117.47 billion yuan in 2022. As of the end of last year (2022), the green credit balance of the banking industry in Shanghai was 1.03 trillion yuan, an increase of 50.24% from the beginning of the year, which was higher than the growth rate of various loans in the same period. The cumulative transaction volume of all spot varieties in the Shanghai carbon market was 222 million tons, and the cumulative transaction value was 3.431 billion yuan.

At the opening ceremony of the Green and Low-Carbon Innovation Forum, Zhu Xuehua, Director of the Department of Social Development Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology, officially released the "National Green and Low-Carbon Advanced Technology Achievements Catalog" organized and compiled by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Zhu Xuehua, director of the Department of Social Development and Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said in his opening speech that the Ministry of Science and Technology will actively and steadily promote the decision-making and deployment of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and vigorously implement science and technology to support the implementation of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality implementation plans. The functions of the Office of the Central Science and Technology Commission are to coordinate relevant departments and local low-carbon technological innovation deployment, and establish a monitoring and evaluation mechanism for carbon peak and carbon neutral technological innovation.

Zhu Xuehua said that my country's energy resource endowment determines that my country will mainly rely on coal and photovoltaic and wind power to meet its huge energy consumption in the future. my country's "wind" and "light" resources are mainly distributed in the northwest region, but the population and industry are concentrated on the southeast coast, and there is a spatial mismatch between energy supply and consumption. In the future, the power grid will need to be connected to an increasing proportion of photovoltaic and wind power - even " more than 80% ", and will face the problem of increasingly unstable energy supply. Our country still has 7 years to go before its carbon peak, and only 30 years to go from carbon peak to carbon neutrality . The task is heavy and time is tight. The only challenge facing the realization of the dual carbon goals is to seek methods and answers from technological innovation.

At the opening ceremony of the forum, Zhu Xuehua officially released the " National Green and Low-Carbon Advanced Technology Achievements Catalog " organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology. The catalog includes 85 technical achievements in six fields, involving water pollution control, air pollution control, solid waste treatment and resource utilization, soil and ecological restoration, environmental monitoring and surveillance, energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon fields, etc. domain, providing new solutions for current and future ecological environment management and carbon emission reduction.

On March 7, 2019, Green Technology Bank (Shanghai) Technology Development Co., Ltd., the market-oriented entity of Green Technology Bank, was officially established.

Building a green technology bank is an important measure for China to implement the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

In 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping signed the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with leaders of various countries, and for the first time proposed the concept of establishing a "technology bank". In September 2016, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Shanghai Municipal Government held a ministry-municipal meeting to discuss the construction of a green technology bank and support Shanghai's pilot implementation.

On December 3, 2017, the first meeting of the Green Technology Bank Construction Leading Group was held in Shanghai.

On March 7, 2019, Green Technology Bank (Shanghai) Technology Development Co., Ltd., the market-oriented entity of Green Technology Bank, was officially established.

The signing ceremony of the "China-Cambodia Green Technology and Talent Cultivation Cooperation" Agreement.

On the morning of September 11, 2023, at the opening ceremony of the Green and Low-Carbon Innovation Forum, the Green Technology Bank Management Center signed a "China-Cambodia Green Technology and Talent Training Cooperation" agreement with the Cambodian Ministry of Environment and Tongji University respectively to jointly carry out green technology cooperation and Joint training of talents; in addition, the launch ceremony of the United Nations Development Program-Green Technology Bank Yangtze River Delta (Suzhou) Green Technology Application Demonstration Platform was held.

On the afternoon of the 11th, the forum also held a green and low-carbon technology matchmaking meeting.
