Policy Suggestions for the Slowdown in Per Capital Output of Grain Growth in China

China is a large agricultural and the most populous country, so it is a crucial importance for the food security. The basic situation of food in our country is self-sufficiency, a certain amount of imports and reserves. The output of grain in our country has increased annually, however, as a result of policy adjustments and other factors like environmental pollution, together with a large population base and the trend of excessively popu- lous growth, the growth of grain output is relatively slow, which will be harmful for our grain security as well as the healthy development of the na- tional economy. In this case, several solutions could be tried, such as improving the level of science and technology, adjusting industrial policies and controlling environmental pollution. Besides, we ought to strongly advocate thrifty behavior to increase income and reduce expenditure.

Targets & Policy Suggestions for Sustainable Development in Next 10 Years

This article is a detailed abstract of the strategic objectives and policy suggestions for China’s sustainable development in the national 10th Five-year Plan (2001-2005) and the decade-long National Scheme by 2010, proposed in a report on China’s current actualities by a joint research team on national conditions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University.

Compilation of Emission Inventory of Air Pollution Sources in Beijing and Suggestions on Emission Reduction Policies

By establishing emission inventory of air pollution sources in Beijing,and classifying and compiling the pollutant types and corresponding pollution source data in more detail,it could provide the reference for studying causes of haze and related policy impact assessment in Beijing.In this paper,selecting relevant data published in the Beijing Statistical Yearbook,referring to emission coefficients in the technical guidelines for the preparation of various pollution sources,and combining characteristics of energy consumption in Beijing,emission inventory of air pollution sources in six parts is established:thermal power plant,industrial combustion source(by industry),technological process source(by product variety),motor vehicle,building construction and residents life,and the contribution rate of each part to air pollutants is given.Finally,policy suggestions for haze control in Beijing are put forward.

Suggestions on the Current Electricity Price Level and Policies in China

The State Council decided to raise the retail electricity price by 0.25 Yuan/kWh from July, 2008. This will, to some extent, relieve the conflicts between power supply and demand, and decrease the economic losses in

Analysis of Batik Value Chain in Ethnic Minority Areas--A Case Study of Danzhai County in Guizhou Province

Based on value chain analysis method,we surveyed and interviewed interest groups of batik industry in Danzhai County.From raw material production,product processing,marketing,organization and management,we discussed the supply chain of batik products in ethnic minority areas,and analyzed favorable factors of batik industry development and obstacles to interest groups developing batik industry.Finally,we put forward corresponding policy suggestions,including strengthening farmers' ability in batik production section,enhancing capability construction of batik cooperatives and associations,increasing cultural value added of batik products,bolster policy and financial support of government departments,and promoting establishment of cooperative mechanism for handicrafts.

China’s carbon accounting system in the context of carbon neutrality: Current situation, challenges and suggestions

Global climate governance is currently at the stage of carbon neutrality.Improving the quality of emissions inventories at different levels has become a critical climate governance task,which not only contributes to the Global Stocktake but also helps verify compliance progress and address new trade barriers.This study provides a comprehensive review of international carbon accounting standards and guidelines while assessing the potential impact of upcoming carbon tax policies,such as the EU CBAM and the U.S.CCA.On this basis,the current situation and challenges of China's carbon emission accounting system are systematically analysed,and suggestions for improvement are proposed.The results show that carbon tax policies will increase the requirements for emission inventories and will strengthen the correlation between different levels.The improvement of China's carbon accounting system should be accelerated.Although the regional carbon accounting guidelines are already in line with international guidelines,further improvements are needed at the enterprise and product levels.New boundaries need to be set in China's corporate carbon accounting guidelines,and the speed of developing product carbon accounting guidelines should be increased.The quality of emissions inventories should be comprehensively improved by implementing a combination of policies,including corporate carbon information disclosure,green supply chain construction,activity data statistics and verification,and a dynamic emission factor database.

Estimation for ammonia emissions at county level in China from 2013 to 2018

Ammonia (NH_(3)) can interact with other trace chemicals in the atmosphere,significantly impacting atmospheric chemistry and global climate change.China is a largely agricultural country with high consumption of nitrogen fertilizer and large livestock herds,resulting in high NH_(3) emissions.In this study,a comprehensive county-level inventory of Chinese NH_(3) emissions from 2013 to 2018 was compiled.Based on previous research,an estimate of NH_(3) emissions from household coal combustion was added to the inventory.The estimation of emissions from open biomass burning was improved by using a method based on fire radiative energy (FRE).The total NH_(3) emissions in China increased from 2013 (9.64 Tg) to 2015 (9.75 Tg),and then decreased to 9.12 Tg in 2018.Emissions from fossil fuels reached a peak value in 2018,accounting for 8.4%of total emissions,while fertilizer application and livestock waste were responsible for fewer emissions than in previous years,accounting for 27.7%and 49.9%of the total from non-fossil fuel sources,respectively.The highest emission rates were in central and southwestern China.Seasonally,NH_(3) emissions peaked in spring and summer.The inventory had a 1-km spatial resolution and a monthly temporal resolution,which confirmed its suitability for global and regional air quality simulations.

Evolutionary Game on Oil and Gas Companies' Pollution Treatment

This paper presents a dynamic model of pollution treatment strategies,driven by the bargaining relationships between governments,oil and gas companies and local residents.The results show that government plays a dominating role and government environmental policies have significant impact on other two parties' behavior.To achieve better pollution treatment in the future,we put forward the following suggestions.An improvement in the legal system is required,and the legal enforcement needs to be strengthened.In terms of pollution treatment,responsibilities and obligations of these three parties need to be clearly defined.A wellfunctioned reward and penalties system needs to be established for minimizing the environment damage in the future.

Research on Construction of an Accessible Environment in the Context of Building a Country with a Strong Transportation Network

Transportation is a basic service industry concerned with people’s livelihood and well-being. China has unveiled guidelines on improving China’s strength in transportation. By 2035, an accessible travel service system should basically be built, according to the guidelines jointly released by the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council. It is of great practical significance to accelerate the construction of an accessible transportation environment in the new era, which can improve the equalization of public services and promote the safe, convenient, and comfortable travel of the disabled and the elderly. In line with the development status of transportation in China, and through an analysis on the requirements for building a country with a strong transportation network, this paper proposes the framework and content for the establishment of an accessible transportation system in China.
