"Double carbon is both a challenge and an opportunity. On the road of transformation, we should not only implement the new development concept, but also speed up the construction of talent base and double carbon management platform to promote the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements." Zheng Haojun, director of the science and technology communication center of the China Association for science and technology, said at the theme exchange of "science and technology leads development and double carbon helps the future" at the first "science and innovation China · Zhihui Xin'an" activity.

On the 24th, the above activities were held in Jiande, Zhejiang Province. More than 20 Chinese and foreign academicians and experts gathered by the Xin'an River to jointly discuss the green transformation practice of Jiande industrial economy. China Biodiversity Conservation and green development foundation and other five units jointly awarded Jiande the country's first "double carbon industrial science and technology base".

Xiao Qing, Deputy Secretary General of China Biodiversity Conservation and green development foundation, introduced that Jiande is a city with obvious industrial development, with beautiful mountains and rivers and excellent ecology. At the same time, Jiande is also an industrial city with chemical building materials, calcium carbonate and other pillar industries, and is facing the exploration of green transformation.

"We will put the 'double carbon industrial science and technology base' into Jiande. On the one hand, we can use it as a sample for reference. On the other hand, we can better provide guidance for the transformation and upgrading of Jiande, and promote the implementation of more scientific research projects in the fields of sustainable development such as low-carbon energy conservation and ecological environmental protection." Xiao Qing said.

At present, "double carbon" has become a hot spot, and "double control of energy consumption" has gradually become a key word in local economic work. How can the county economy with basic industry as the economic lifeline realize transformation and upgrading and better cope with the "double carbon" era? This is a must answer question in front of "livable morality".

"In today's Jiande, traditional industries still account for a large proportion. Under the background of 'double carbon', we need more scientific and innovative talents and innovative resources and power. This time, we want to take advantage of the landing of the base, take advantage of the situation and jointly explore the industrial development trend and enterprise development strategy under the goal of 'double carbon'." The relevant person in charge of Jiande municipal Party committee said.

It is reported that since 2004, Jiande has deeply implemented the strategy of "strengthening the city with talents" and "revitalizing the city with innovation", paid close attention to the construction of science and technology platform and the introduction and education of industrial talents through school enterprise cooperation, established cooperation with more than 100 colleges and universities at home and abroad, and was also selected as the top 100 counties with national innovation potential and the top 100 counties with national investment potential in 2021, so as to provide technical and talent guarantee for the realization of the "double carbon" goal.

From the new round of manufacturing action of "changing cages for birds and Phoenix Nirvana", to guiding the integration and upgrading of calcium carbonate industry and promoting the intensive improvement of development space, quality and efficiency, Jiande has built a low-carbon development system of "government promotion + demonstration drive + industrial linkage", and green has gradually become the distinctive background of Jiande's industrial economy.

At the event, the local government also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the school of technology of West Lake University. Gao Xiang, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and Dean of the school of energy engineering of Zhejiang University, and many other academicians and experts have been employed by the "Xin'an think tank". Many intelligences will continue to provide advice and suggestions for the low-carbon transformation of Jiande industry.

As a prelude to the series of activities of "100 experts to help common prosperity" in Jiande City, more special development forum activities such as calcium carbonate and new energy will be launched in the next step. With professionals as the core and scientific and technological innovation as the driving force, the local government will make a combination of energy conservation and emission reduction and seek a new chapter of common prosperity.
