To make green a defining feature of Belt and Road cooperation

中国高度重视绿色“一带一路”建设。早在2016年6月，习近平主席在乌兹别克斯坦最高会议立法院的演讲中就提出，着力深化环保合作，践行绿色发展理念，加大生态环境保护力度，携手打造绿色丝绸之路。

China attaches great importance to the green development for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In June 2016, President Xi Jinping proposed in his speech at the Legislative Chamber of the Supreme Assembly of Uzbekistan that efforts should be made to deepen cooperation in environmental protection, the concept of green development put into practice, strengthen ecological and environmental protection, and join hands to create a Green Silk Road.

6年来，这一倡议得到国际社会的积极响应，共建“绿色丝绸之路”取得了丰硕成果：政策对接稳步推进、绿色朋友圈持续扩大、绿色合作水平不断提升、绿色金融合作不断拓展。

Over the past six years, BRI has received positive response from the international community, and the joint development of the Green Silk Road has achieved fruitful results: policy alignment has been steadily advanced, more partners joined in green development, green cooperation levels continued to improve, and cooperation in green finance kept expanding.

2021年4月，习近平主席在博鳌亚洲论坛2021年年会上提出，加强绿色基建、绿色能源、绿色金融等领域合作，让绿色切实成为共建“一带一路”的底色。同年9月，习近平主席在联合国大会一般性辩论上提出，中国将大力支持发展中国家能源绿色低碳发展，不再新建境外煤电项目。习近平主席的系列重要论述为绿色“一带一路”建设指明了前进方向，为构建人类命运共同体勾画了新的前景。“绿色丝绸之路”正在成为共建“一带一路”的新亮点新主题，为构建人与自然命运共同体提供强大的动力。

In April 2021, President Xi Jinping proposed at the Annual Conference of Boao Forum for Asia 2021 to strengthen cooperation in green infrastructure, green energy, green finance and other related fields, so as to make green a defining feature of Belt and Road cooperation. In September 2021, President Xi Jinping announced at the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly that China will strongly support the green and low-carbon energy development in developing countries and will no longer build new overseas coal power projects. The important expositions by President Xi Jinping have pointed out the way for the green development under BRI, and outlined new prospects for building a community with a shared future for mankind. The Green Silk Road is becoming a new highlight and new theme for Belt and Road cooperation, and providing an important impetus for building a community of shared future between man and nature.

—— 共建“绿色丝绸之路”是发展之道。当前，绿色可持续发展已成为全球共识，联合国2030年可持续发展目标有近三分之一的指标与绿色发展直接相关。

To jointly build the Green Silk Road is the way for development. At present, the world has reached a consensus on green and sustainable development, and nearly one-third of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 are directly related to green development.

——共建“绿色丝绸之路”是世界之需。目前已有130多个国家和地区提出“碳中和”目标，绿色低碳已经成为各国推动经济转型的现实选择，特别是沿线国家资源环境承载力普遍偏低，绿色能源转型的需要更为迫切。大力发展绿色基建、绿色能源，为共建国家创造更多绿色发展机遇，提供更多绿色发展条件，将成为实现全球“碳中和”目标的重要保障。

To jointly build the Green Silk Road is the demand of the world. At present, over 130 countries and regions have proposed the goal of carbon neutrality. Green and low carbon development has become a realistic choice for countries to promote economic transformation, especially for countries along the Belt and Road with low resource and environment carrying capacity and more urgent need for green energy transformation. Vigorously developing green infrastructure and green energy, and creating more green development opportunities and providing more green development conditions for the countries involved in joint construction will become important guarantees for achieving the goal of carbon neutrality worldwide.

——共建“绿色丝绸之路”是中国之长。中国坚持生态优先、绿色发展，这些年取得了卓越成就。中国是世界上最大的光伏和风电设备制造国，光伏产能占全球总产能的76%，风机产量占全球一半以上，光伏和风电装机容量均居全球首位。中国通过共建“一带一路”向世界分享生态文明建设成果与经验，主动承担应对气候变化的国际责任，携手各方共迎绿色转型挑战，为实现全球可持续发展目标贡献中国方案和中国力量。

To jointly build the Green Silk Road is where China’s strength lies in. China adheres to ecological priority and green development, and has made outstanding achievements in recent years. China is the world’s largest manufacturer of photovoltaic and wind power equipment, with a solar capacity accounting for 76% of the world’s total production capacity, and a wind turbine production accounting for more than half of the world’s total. It ranks first in the world in terms of installed solar and wind power. By contributing to the joint construction of the Belt and Road, China shares the achievements and experience of ecological civilization construction with the world, takes the initiative to undertake the international responsibility for addressing climate change, joins hands with all parties to meet the challenges regarding green transformation, and devotes Chinese solutions and Chinese strength to the realization of global sustainable development goals.

绿色低碳可持续发展关乎全人类的共同命运，关乎当代和子孙后代的利益福祉，需要国际社会共同努力。

Green, low-carbon and sustainable development matters to the common destiny of all mankind and the interests and well-being of the present and future generations. It requires the joint efforts of the international community.
