20 10 Shanghai World Expo put forward the theme of "Better City, Better Life", and one of its important connotations is "green, low-carbon and eco-friendly". These ideas will not only be reflected in the 184 days of the World Expo, but also in the environmental protection work since Shanghai applied for the Expo and in the future. This World Expo
This meeting is not only a comprehensive test of Shanghai's environmental protection work, but also a rare historical opportunity.
I. Overall arrangement of environmental protection for the World Expo
It can be summarized as "four aspects" and "four mechanisms".
"Four aspects": In order to run a "green Expo" and "low-carbon Expo" successfully, Shanghai will comprehensively and deeply promote urban environmental protection and ecological construction in accordance with the working idea of "focusing on long-term normalization and strengthening protection", mainly from four aspects: improving urban ecological environment, promoting environmental remediation, strengthening environmental air quality assurance and advocating the concepts of "low-carbon Expo" and "green Expo", and further promoting urban environmental protection.
"Four sets of mechanisms": Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attaches great importance to the environmental protection of the Expo, and ensures the implementation and promotion of all work from the institutional mechanisms and inputs. First, under the working mechanism of the Committee for the Coordination and Promotion of Environmental Protection and Construction, we will systematically promote urban environmental protection and ecological construction. The key point is to integrate the resources of the whole society to promote the implementation of pollution reduction and the rolling implementation of the three-year action plan for environmental protection. The second is to comprehensively promote the comprehensive improvement of the urban environment under the working mechanism of the 600-day action plan to welcome the World Expo. We will incorporate large-scale rectification work such as river courses, dust, traffic noise, black smoke from motor vehicle boilers, and straw burning ban into the 600-day action plan to welcome the Expo, and strive to achieve full coverage of environmental protection work. The third is to strengthen the environmental air quality guarantee under the regional cooperation mechanism of the Yangtze River Delta. With the strong support of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, we have established a regional environmental cooperation mechanism with Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to carry out joint prevention and control of regional pollution. Fourth, under the Expo operation command system, the environmental protection work to ensure the Expo operation will be promoted in an orderly manner. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government set up a municipal environmental protection group led by the Expo Operation Command to coordinate the efforts of all parties and promote the environmental protection related work of the Expo. In addition, an Expo environmental advisory group composed of experts from home and abroad was set up to provide technical support for scientific and technological progress.
Second, the main progress
With the joint efforts of all walks of life in the city, the environmental protection work of the World Expo is progressing in an orderly manner. Progress has been made mainly in five aspects:
The first aspect: solidly promote the three-year action plan for pollution reduction and environmental protection, and steadily improve the environmental quality. Significant progress has been made in reducing pollution. In 2009, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of major pollutants and the total amount of sulfur dioxide emissions decreased by 65,438 09.9% and 26.65,438 0% respectively compared with 2005, reaching the pollution reduction target in the 11th Five-Year Plan one year ahead of schedule. The three-year action plan for environmental protection has achieved remarkable results, and the construction of environmental infrastructure has been vigorously promoted. The city's sewage treatment rate increased from 70.2% at the end of the Tenth Five-Year Plan to 78.9%, and the harmless treatment rate of domestic garbage increased from 55% to 82.3%, basically achieving full desulfurization coverage of power plants and centralized and safe disposal of hazardous wastes and medical wastes; Breakthroughs have been made in comprehensive environmental improvement in key areas and regions, and the environmental management system has been further improved. The environmental quality of this city is improving steadily. According to national standards, the excellent rate of ambient air quality characterized by sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter has steadily increased, reaching 9 1.5% in 2009, the best level in 10 years. Among them, the concentration of sulfur dioxide in ambient air decreased from 0.06 1mg/m3 in 2005 to 0.035mg/m3. The water quality of major rivers such as Huangpu River and Suzhou River remained stable. The concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the section of Yangpu Bridge on Huangpu River decreased from 18.3mg/L in 2005 to 13.5mg/L in 2009, with a decrease rate of 26.3%. The second aspect: relying on the 600-day action plan to welcome the Expo, the comprehensive improvement of the overall environment has been promoted, and the urban environment has been significantly improved. 30 key tasks such as improving the appearance of the city, improving the living environment of citizens and improving the level of urban management have been clarified. The relevant functional departments of the city and all districts and counties will unite to strengthen the environmental remediation work in key areas, key road sections and key areas. In the field of environmental protection, the "Wanhe Remediation" campaign was launched, which strengthened the remediation of dust pollution on construction sites, boiler smoke emission, black smoke from motor vehicles and horns, road traffic noise and straw burning, and strengthened law enforcement supervision. Through the above-mentioned large-scale and wide-ranging remediation measures, the urban environment has been greatly improved, and some environmental problems that directly affect the quality of life of citizens have been alleviated. And by exploring the establishment of a long-term mechanism, the level of urban environmental management has been further improved. The third aspect: strengthen local pollution control and regional joint prevention and control, and fully guarantee the environmental air quality of the World Expo. Air quality assurance mainly includes three measures and progress: First, try to reduce the impact of local pollution emissions in Shanghai on regional environmental quality. The focus is on promoting targeted air pollution prevention and control measures such as desulfurization and denitrification of coal-fired power plants, structural adjustment of polluting enterprises, pollution control of coal-fired kilns, emission control of volatile organic compounds, dust pollution control and motor vehicle pollution control. Through continuous efforts, at present, the city has completed the construction of desulfurization facilities for all 10 million kilowatts coal-fired power plants and shut down 730 thousand kilowatts of small and medium-sized coal-fired units; Eliminated more than 3000 enterprises and production processes with high pollution, high energy consumption and backward technology; Clean energy and technological transformation have replaced nearly 6,000 coal-fired facilities; Completed the oil and gas recovery work of more than 420 gas stations; Established a "dust control zone" of 728 square kilometers; The national IV motor vehicle emission standard was implemented ahead of schedule, and more than 8,000 buses and 40,000 taxis were updated. Second, relying on the Yangtze River Delta regional environmental cooperation mechanism and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to implement joint prevention and control of regional air pollution. The key point is to implement pollution control measures for overhead sources such as power plants and key industries such as steel, chemicals and building materials within a radius of 300 kilometers of the Expo Park, implement unified label management for motor vehicle pollution emissions, fully implement straw burning ban, and realize the sharing of key pollution sources and environmental air quality monitoring data. The third is to improve the monitoring, early warning and forecasting system of ambient air quality. An environmental air quality monitoring system consisting of 46 continuous automatic monitoring stations covering the Expo site, the periphery of the park and the whole city has been formed, and an environmental air quality monitoring network has been formed with more than 30 urban environmental monitoring stations in the Yangtze River Delta region to comprehensively monitor and release environmental air quality information to the public in time. 24-hour ambient air quality forecast and 48-hour high pollution early warning system have also been developed to take corresponding countermeasures against possible pollution under special pollution meteorological conditions. The fourth aspect: fully implement the environmental protection measures for the Expo operation, and carry out inspection drills in combination with the trial operation. First, environmental protection work has been implemented. Emphasis is placed on strengthening control measures for the use, transfer and storage of radioactive sources and toxic chemicals, as well as the collection and disposal of medical wastes and hazardous wastes. The main objects with the risk of environmental pollution accidents were sorted out one by one, preventive measures and emergency plans were formulated, and emergency linkage drills for sudden pollution accidents in the Yangtze River Delta region were carried out. The second is to strengthen the inspection of the implementation of pollution prevention measures. Special teams will be set up at the city, district and county levels to check the implementation and effect of measures such as river regulation, dust and black smoke, and straw burning ban, and implement rectification measures in time when problems are found. Third, the environmental protection facilities in the Expo Park are operating normally. The air quality monitoring system of the Expo Park has been put into use, which will monitor the environmental quality of the park in real time and release it to the public. Pollution prevention measures such as domestic garbage, sewage, cooking fume and noise in the park have been tested during the trial operation. Fifth, the concept of "low-carbon" runs through the whole process of Expo preparation and holding, and the "low-carbon Expo" is being vigorously promoted and has received positive response from the whole society. The important task of the World Expo is to lead the future development concept. Combined with the theme of this World Expo and the current international trend of "low-carbon development", Shanghai has issued the green guide and environmental report for the China 20 10 World Expo in the preparatory stage, taking "low-carbon Expo" as an important goal and is promoting its implementation. It is mainly reflected in five aspects: First, implement the concept of "low carbon" in the planning, construction and operation of the Expo site. For example, the site selection of the Expo site was combined with the renovation of the old city on both sides of Huangpu River, and 272 polluting enterprises were shut down and relocated; Park green space of 1 10,000 square meters has been built in the park; The old factory building and the building of 1/6 were reserved for use. Second, it is widely used in the Expo Park, focusing on "low-carbon" technology and practice. For example, the total installed capacity of solar photovoltaic power generation in the Expo site is about 4.7 MW, and energy-saving and environmental-friendly led light sources are widely used for landscape lighting. More than 1 000 clean energy vehicles have been put into use, realizing "zero emission" of public transportation in the park, and technologies such as energy saving, water saving and rainwater reuse are widely adopted; As a major feature of this World Expo, the urban best practice area mainly displays successful cases of low-carbon development and sustainable development selected from all over the world; Almost all national, local and organizational venues and exhibitions have low-carbon environmental protection, sustainable development and harmony between man and nature as their themes or important concepts. Third, a series of carbon compensation projects have been arranged to achieve carbon neutrality. Including speeding up bus priority, energy saving and emission reduction, planting "Expo carbon sink forest" and developing renewable energy. The fourth is to build a participation platform for enterprises and visitors who are willing to voluntarily reduce emissions. For example, voluntary emission reduction activities such as "green travel", "green travel transportation card", "low carbon calculator" and "one tree for everyone" have been carried out, and other voluntary emission reduction channels and platforms are being designed to facilitate the participation of enterprises and visitors. All sectors of society are welcome to actively participate. Fifth, strengthen the publicity and activity organization of low-carbon environmental protection. Many forums and activities during the World Expo will take low-carbon environmental protection as the theme or introduce low-carbon environmental protection elements. One of the six theme forums of the World Expo is "Environmental Change and Urban Responsibility". At the same time, we will continue to carry out activities such as "environmental protection knowledge training for millions of people facing the World Expo" and environmental education in primary and secondary schools to create a good environmental protection atmosphere for the whole society.
Third, the next stage of work arrangements
At present, the Expo Park has been fully opened to welcome guests. During the World Expo, Shanghai will further improve the environmental protection work of the World Expo around the working idea of "consolidating and upgrading". First, in accordance with the requirements of full prevention and control, ensure the environmental safety of the Expo, further implement environmental safety control measures, improve the environmental emergency system, and ensure that emergency teams and equipment are on standby at any time while strengthening prevention. Second, in accordance with the tasks of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Pollution Reduction and the Fourth Three-Year Action Plan for Environmental Protection, we will further reduce the total amount of pollution discharge, continue to steadily promote environmental construction and protection in key areas such as water, gas, solid waste, industry, agriculture, greening and natural ecology, improve the long-term normal management mechanism, consolidate the achievements of previous rectification, and further improve the urban ecological environment. Third, strengthen the supervision and management of environmental quality monitoring and the operation of environmental protection facilities in the Expo site, provide environmental quality information in time, and create a good environment in the park. Fourth, through various channels, various carriers and various forms of activities, we will better create a good atmosphere of low-carbon Expo and green Expo in the whole society. Zhang Quan expressed his belief that the World Expo will be "successful, wonderful and unforgettable" and Shanghai's urban environment will be even better. He also hoped that the Expo organizers, exhibitors, Shanghai citizens and domestic and foreign tourists would participate in energy conservation and emission reduction, practice the "low-carbon Expo" and ensure the success of the Expo with "safety and order" and "neatness and beauty".
Expo 20 10 will be held in Shanghai, and its proposition "Better City" indicates that Shanghai and other cities will use and transform the natural environment to create a highly artificial living environment for the benefit of all urban residents.
2 1 century is a green century. The theme of the World Expo held in Aichi, Japan is "the wisdom of nature". It can be seen that people pay more and more attention to nature and ecology. The dominant residence in 2 1 century is green home, the dominant food in 2 1 century is green food, and the dominant environment in 2 1 century is green environment. Green is also the eternal theme of mankind. Greening is an important link to embody green.
The word greening is not strange to us. As we all know, greening can beautify the environment, release oxygen, reduce noise and temperature, stop sandstorms and improve the environment. Not only that, greening can also reduce people's fear and anger and promote positive psychological reaction. It can be said that greening is an indispensable part of life.
20 10 Expo Shanghai will take greening as the highlight of urban planning. With the countdown to the Expo application, the moving hands on the dial touch the heartstrings of all people who care about the Expo, especially the staff of Shanghai Greening Administration Bureau, which is closely related to the Expo project. After all, 60%-80% of the 400 hectares bid site will be green. Greening is very important for the urban construction of Shanghai World Expo 20 10, improving people's quality of life and promoting economic growth.
First of all, greening can promote the urban construction of Shanghai. It is understood that Expo 20 10 will have a number of green corridors perpendicular to the Huangpu River, extending the green belt from the riverside area to the hinterland of the city, just like the link between modern cities and nature; Against the backdrop of green trees, a 400-500-meter-long flower bridge dedicated to tourists will cross the banks of Pujiang and become a landmark building connecting the past, the present and the future. After the World Expo, the Expo space will be transformed according to the urban prototype of this area, and it will be integrated into the urban area of Shanghai. Green corridors and canals will be preserved. The flower bridge across the Huangpu River will also be preserved, which can guide tourists to take a walk in a new city park. After the exhibition, it will become another landmark building in Shanghai as a part of the city appearance.
Secondly, greening can improve people's quality of life. On February 2, 2004, Shanghai was officially awarded the title of "National Garden City", and Shanghai also put forward the goal of building a forest city. 1990, Shanghai is still in the debt repayment stage; However, in 2004, Shanghai newly built green space 1.800 hectares, with a green coverage rate of 36%, and the per capita public green space in urban areas reached 10 square meter. Within the inner ring, the green blind area with a service radius of 500 meters has been basically eliminated, and a large number of large public green spaces have been built; Due to the 20 10 World Expo, more urban green spaces will be built. In the construction of green space, not only the ecological function is highlighted, but also the comprehensive service function and urban landscape function of green space are paid more attention to. With this development momentum, by 20 10, Shanghai will reach its goal just around the corner.
Not only that, greening will also bring economic growth. Due to the 20 10 World Expo, the housing prices in Shanghai will rise. According to the data of real estate investment, the most direct beneficiary of green space is real estate developers: the park green space invested by the government is always around the park-there is almost no "long grass is not expensive" house price near the park. In recent years, the property price near the park has risen by at least 1000 yuan per square meter, and the average number of sales of buildings near the green space will be much higher than that far away from the green space.
Without a green home, there will be no peace and tranquility. There is no green grass, only a piece of pale road, dazzling pale in the strong sunshine. ...
Water is the source of life, and green is the color of life. Only a green city can be full of vigor and vitality. ...
Green is an eternal concept of human beings.
Green is a symbol of civilization.
Green, it shows the inspiration and charm of nature.
Let's take action from now on to make the city greener and more vibrant.
