Working Report Task Force on Strategy and Mechanism Study for Promotion of Circular Economy and Cleaner Production in China

摘要

At the turn of the 21st century, under the guidance of CPC, Chinese people are devoting all their efforts to building a well-off society in an all-round way. One of the most significant tasks is to quadruple GDP by the year 2020. At the same time of rapid economic growth, we should not ignore some drawbacks. First, China's cost for per GDP has been among the highest in the world, including energy consumptions and material consumptions for per GDP. If this situation continues, it will greatly discount our actual economic benefits. It will lead to a disadvantageous position in international market competition and will make the development unsustainable. Second, it is not optimistic for our nation's natural resources. The import of crude oil is growing rapidly while the water resource is in shortage. Many mines are being over exploited, and there are dozens of cities around the country facing natural resource depletion.
