China is a huge country with a population of 1.3 billion. It has __ climatic conditions and a __ environment. The effect of climate change is a very real __ which we face every day. According to Chinese scientists, the average temperature in China has risen by 1.1 degrees centigrade in the last 5 __. That is higher than the reported global average. We are seeing more frequent __ of extreme weather in many parts of the country. Last spring, for example, the most severe drought in 50 years __ northern China affecting over 4 million people’s __. And there’s something I have experienced personally. When my father passed away, he left a wish to have his ashes __ in the river of the village he grew up and the river he swam in. And I took a long journey to that small village only to find, to my sadness, that the great river my father used to talk about is now no more than a creek. And the children in the village will never have the joy of swimming in a big river the way my father andhis generation enjoyed....You may want to know how have we got here? China has reached this __ when it is great __ to [填空11] people out of poverty. Unlike you here, we have [填空12] 2 centuries of industrialization into only 30 years.
In China, climate change is not just a topic for discussion; it’s [填空13] up by policy and actions at all levels. Let me share with you some examples.
First, on the legal and policy [填空14], China has put forward a voluntary reduction program from 2006 to 2010 period. That includes 20% reduction in energy intensity per unit of GDP. To achieve this, we [填空15] the Law on Energy Saving and the Law on Renewable Energy. We’ve also [填空16] up a strict evaluation system for energy efficiency. This [填空17] the central government to hold provincial leaders [填空18] for [填空19] energy efficiency targets. The evaluation result for 2008 is on the web for all to [填空20]. [填空21] of 31 provinces and regions, 26 fulfilled emission reduction targets. One can’t [填空22] enough the importance of having such [填空23] as it is placing great pressure from the people on those who are not meeting the target.
Secondly in China, now the industries have to make very tough decisions to achieve clean development. Projects with high emission can no longer go ahead and some of the existing high emitters are being [填空24]out. It is understandably very difficult to push through such reforms and there is, [填空25], resistance. Because for a developing country, [填空26] down factories means job losses for many who need them. For example, we have cut down the average consumption of coal per unit of power by 20%. And that is achieved by [填空27] many of the high-polluting and inefficient power plants. But that led to the loss of 400,000 jobs....Last but not least, the only means for China to really achieve its ambitious target is through science and technology and has to be through science and technology. That is why China is investing [填空28] in research and development. And China has become a giant laboratory for the testing all kinds of clean energy technologies. In the latest stimulus [填空29] worth 400 billion pound, 15% is invested in ( [填空30] ) climate change. I am sure you will agree that it is a huge number by any standard, especially considering that we are in a financial cr.
