Abdul Matheen Mohamed said that at present, the stakeholder approach has made a lot of efforts in climate change, listed a good regulatory framework and policies, and some countries have also implemented these measures. Maldives has a mature framework system to deal with climate change, which was implemented in 20 15. At present, Maldives is carrying out carbon emission reduction projects with the World Bank and other institutions to actively increase the proportion of renewable energy industry.
Low-carbon development is the world trend and trend. According to Yang Guangrong, Vice Governor of Hunan Provincial People's Government, Hunan has established the first domestic important platform dedicated to international low-carbon technology reform-Hunan International Low-carbon Technology Exchange Center, which is the first in the world to build a comprehensive management platform for greenhouse gas emissions. Changsha, Zhuzhou, Xiangtan and Chenzhou were also included in the pilot projects of low-carbon cities in China.
"Maldives is a tropical country, and 99% of its territory is covered by seawater." Abdul Maseen Mohammed said that Maldives will actively seek technical partners and seek low-carbon technological breakthroughs suitable for small island countries and low-lying countries such as Maldives.
"At present, Sweden, Mongolia, Thailand and other countries have introduced incentive policies in the development of low-carbon technologies and low-carbon cities, and countries have also formulated different development strategies. In the future, I look forward to seeing the continuity of national policies in this field. " Zhai Yongping, chief engineer of energy technology at the Asian Development Bank, said that renewable energy is intermittent and unstable, and the support of stable policies is most needed in the development process. The harm caused by intermittent policy is greater than the harm and influence caused by intermittent energy development.
Zhai Yongping said that the city of hope can play a more important role in low-carbon development and tackling climate change, so that we can achieve the two goals of the Paris Agreement.
According to UN-HABITAT data, in 20 15, the urban population in the Asia-Pacific region was 2.38 billion, accounting for about 48% of the total population in the region. By 2050, two-thirds of the population in this region will live in urban areas.
"According to the data of ADB in 20 15 years, Asian cities consume about 80% of the energy in the Asia-Pacific region and produce 75% of the carbon emissions in the region. If no action is taken, the carbon emissions of Asian cities may exceed 50% of global carbon emissions within 20 years. " Xiao Xibu, special senior adviser to the president of the Asian Development Bank, said that this requires us to meet the needs of urban infrastructure and urban services efficiently while balancing the impact on climate change and the environment in the process of developing cities.
