Build an innovation engine for "dual carbon" practice and promote the acceleration of green development momentum Tianfu New Area actively explores the path of high-quality development of park cities

Since the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan, "vigorously and orderly promoting carbon peak and carbon neutrality" has become an important task to promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and unswervingly follow the high-quality development path of ecological priority, green and low-carbon.

As the "first place" of the park city, Sichuan Tianfu New Area fully adheres to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, focuses on actively serving the national strategic needs, and takes the optimization of the "four major structures" of space, industry, transportation and energy as the traction, and strives to embark on a high-quality development path under the guidance of the "double carbon" goal.

Green and low-carbon scientific planning and layout

Scientifically establish carbon peak targets that are compatible with the development pattern and development mode of park cities, accelerate the formulation of carbon peak and carbon neutrality timetables and roadmaps, continue to deepen the park city indicator system under the practice of "dual carbon", and accelerate systematic and structural changes in energy, industry, construction and other fields. Accelerate the gathering of high-level innovation platforms such as scientific research institutes, new R&D institutions, and technological innovation centers, and the construction of a "dual carbon" talent system, and strengthen the development and utilization of renewable resources, the synergy of pollution and carbon reduction, and carbon capture, utilization and storage. Actively promote the construction of carbon neutrality data brains, accelerate the construction of carbon emission analysis and prediction models, accelerate the development of low-carbon services such as green certification and carbon footprint assessment, and promote the construction of "carbon neutrality" demonstration zones.

Consolidate the foundation for green, low-carbon, and high-quality development

Optimize the industrial structure, continue to enhance the development and scale effect of the headquarters economy, leading enterprises, green finance, convention and exhibition, cultural and creative industries, and digital economy industries in the new area, and actively develop EOD-type industries and district projects.

Located on the shore of the beautiful Xinglong Lake, CSCEC Binhu Design Headquarters actively explores the "double carbon" concept of three-dimensional space, and is the first "near-zero carbon building" in Chengdu.

Adhere to the 70.1% ecological red line, lay out urban functional groups along the mountains and greenery, implement the Xinglong Lake water ecological comprehensive improvement project, build 357 kilometers of ecological greenways, 75,000 acres of contiguous blue-green space, and the water quality of major rivers such as Jinjiang River and Luxi River has reached Class III or above, and the number of days with good air quality has been maintained at about 300 days.

A number of ecological value transformation scenarios such as lakeside bookstores and Guantang production teams have been created, and the construction of park cities has been selected as a typical practice model of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" in the country.

Strengthen the ability to curate green and low-carbon innovation

Build a green and low-carbon innovation cluster with Tianfu Yongxing Laboratory as the core, major scientific and technological infrastructure as the support, and high-energy scientific research institutes and innovation platforms as the supplement, create a green and low-carbon technology source and industrial engine, and build a green and low-carbon circular economy system. Explore the trial implementation of low-carbon functional zoning, and accelerate the formation of a new urban demonstration model of harmonious and unified zero-carbon development of people, urban and environmental industries. We will build a climate-oriented investment and financing policy system, actively strive for investment from national, provincial and municipal green development funds in the new area, and use green credit, green bonds, green insurance and other financial means to encourage and mobilize more funds to support the development of low-carbon industries.

In the future, Sichuan Tianfu New Area will adhere to the guidance of the "double carbon" goal, actively seize the national strategic opportunities, strengthen the scientific and technological leadership and financial engine, reasonably build a carbon trading mechanism, and strive to be the vanguard, main force and rear of the construction of park cities with the spirit of seizing the day, the attitude of innovation and openness, and the style of seeking truth and pragmatism.
