Guidance on promoting green consumption

  The guiding opinions of the State Council on actively giving play to the leading role of new consumption, accelerating the cultivation and formation of new power for new supply and other documents require to promote green consumption, accelerate the construction of ecological civilization and promote green economic and social development, and put forward the following opinions.

1、 Fully understand the significance of green consumption

Green consumption refers to the consumption behavior characterized by saving resources and protecting the environment. It is mainly manifested in advocating diligence and thrift, reducing losses and waste, selecting efficient and environmental friendly products and services, and reducing resource consumption and pollution emissions in the process of consumption. China has a large population, insufficient resource endowment and limited environmental carrying capacity. In recent years, with the rapid economic development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, China has entered an important stage of sustained growth in consumer demand and obvious enhancement of the role of consumption in driving the economy. New consumption such as green consumption has great development space and potential. At the same time, excessive consumption, extravagance and waste still exist, and green lifestyles and consumption patterns have not been formed, exacerbating the bottleneck constraints of resources and environment. Promoting green consumption is not only an important embodiment of inheriting the traditional virtues of diligence and thrift of the Chinese nation and carrying forward the core socialist values, but also an important means to comply with the trend of consumption upgrading, promote supply side reform and cultivate new economic growth points, but also the practical need to alleviate the pressure of resources and environment and build ecological civilization.

2、 General requirements and main objectives

  Strengthen publicity and education, cultivate the social trend of advocating diligence and thrift in the whole society, and vigorously promote the greening of consumption concept; Standardize consumption behavior, guide consumers to consciously practice green consumption and create the main body of green consumption; Strict market access, increase production and effective supply, and promote green consumer products; Improve the policy system, build a long-term mechanism conducive to promoting green consumption, and create a green consumption environment.

By 2020, we will establish a green and thrifty consumption mode, establish a basic and effective green consumption mode, and significantly improve the market share of low-carbon and thrifty products.
