    Subjects: Other Disciplines >> Synthetic discipline submitted time 2024-05-18 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: The low carbon transition pathway is a series of goals, technologies, fundings, policies, and other integrated driven system action roadmap. With the deepening of society’s understanding of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, China’s dual-carbon faces the challenge of systemic advancement of comprehensive deepening implementation. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China once again emphasized that achieving the dual-carbon goal will bring about extensive and profound economic and social systemic changes, and pointed out that based on China’s energy endowment, we should adhere to first establishment and then phaseout and implement the carbon peaking actions in a planned and step-by-step manner. China’s low-carbon transition has made a series of new progress, and the planning for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality “1+N” policy framework, which aims to implement the tasks of the dual-carbon target in a comprehensive manner, has been basically completed. At the same time, it is necessary to recognize the long-term and arduous nature of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, for which the pathway and policies need to be constantly and dynamically adjusted according to the domestic and international situation. The study summarizes the new achievements of lowcarbon transition under the guidance of the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality target and the “1+N” policy framework, and analyzes the transition needs and challenges faced. Finally, it puts forward several suggestions for systematically promoting the deepening implementation of the dual-carbon strategy in terms of economic system, energy system, territorial spatial pattern, building and transportation system, consumption pattern, technological innovation, financial system, trade and supply chain, governance system, and international cooperation.

    Subjects: Statistics >> Social Statistics submitted time 2024-05-18 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: Since the implementation of the major function oriented zoning, the ecological space of key ecological functional areas has continuously expanded, with a significant increase in vegetation coverage. Concurrently, there has been a dual change in population dynamics, characterized by a decrease in total population and an increase in the urban population. Furthermore, significant achievements have been made in economic and social development, and there has been a steady improvement in the functions of ecological security barriers, contributing to an alleviation of tension in human-environment relationships. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, it is imperative to adhere to the functional orientation primarily focused on providing ecological services or products. While consolidating provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural ecosystem services, there is an increased emphasis on enhancing the quality of these services, thereby constructing a more diversified, stable, and sustainable ecological foundation. Furthermore, exploring compatible functions of eco-product development and utilization promote greening and decarbonization, aiming to establish an inclusive conservation approach that advances modernization characterized by harmony between humanity and nature. In the 15th Five-Year Plan period, ecological regions will not only be crucial components of the new territorial security pattern but also pillars of the new territorial development pattern. Optimization recommendations are as follows. From the perspective of strategic patterns, it is necessary to enhance the spatial connection and supply-demand interaction between ecological security barriers and the territorial development pattern. In detail, continued efforts are needed to consolidate the national ecological security barriers, optimize the pattern of key ecological functional areas, integrate the system of natural protected areas, and strictly adhere to ecological conservation red lines. Moreover, a greater focus should be on upgrading quality of ecosystem service functions through classification, fully implementing the holistic approach to protecting and restoring mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands, and sand, actively fostering new growth drivers for green development, accelerating the establishment of a refined zoning control system, and synergistically advancing reforms and innovations of institutions and mechanisms. These measures aim to support high-quality development in ecological regions through high-standard protection.

    Abstract: Major Function Oriented Zone (MFOZ), an attempt and exploration aimed at ecological civilization during China’s industrial civilization period which is divided into two stages, the stage of MFOZ planning and the stage of the national strategy and basic institution before and after the 18th Communist Party of China (CPC) National Congress, and the main characteristics of both stages are analyzed. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the strategic thinking of the MFOZ has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the strategic pattern of the MFOZ has been basically formed, the development of the categorized MFOZ has achieved remarkable progress, and the MFOZ mechanism has been initially established. It is proposed that the MFOZ will continue to play a greater strategic and fundamental role in the Chinese-style modernization. As a major strategy, plan and institutional arrangement for implementing the leadership of the Communist Party of China, giving full play to the advantages of the socialist system, and realizing modern spatial governance from top to bottom, the MFOZ should further strengthen the development and protection orientation towards land space, which is people-centered, with high-quality development as the primary task, and new development pattern as the strategic basis, MFOZ should expand new functions that meet the people’s aspirations for a better life and the national security needs, and rely on a sound spatial governance system to establish more precise MFOZ development guidelines and supporting policies.

  • Theory, strategy and path of China’s regional coordinated development during 15th Five-Year Plan period

    Subjects: Statistics >> Social Statistics submitted time 2024-05-18 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s regional coordinated development has shown a sound trend through measures such as poverty alleviation, ecological civilization construction, and the implementation of major regional strategies. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China’s regional coordinated development is faced with the huge challenge of global resource and environmental supply shortage, slow and weak consumption growth in China and the world’s major economies, multi-sided suppression by developed countries, and continuous catch-up by developing countries with low-cost advantages. This study first puts forward some new academic thoughts, such as the equilibrium theory of spatial development, the spatial organization theory of node source and sink in economic network, and the spatial convergence theory of innovation chain-industry chain. On the basis of theoretical innovation, it has clarified the strategic key points of attaching equal importance to creating new driving forces for the development of developed areas and fostering the development of growth poles in underdeveloped areas, as well as taking coordinated regional development as the approach to Chinese-style modernization in the near future. The research holds that scientific and technological innovation plays a leading role in promoting regional coordinated development. Building a regional model of “scientific and technological innovation system + new quality productivity layout” according to local conditions, forming a new development pattern of comprehensive functional areas, promoting the westward shift of the focus of resource utilization industry layout, and attaching importance to cultivating the function of growth poles in key areas should become the main paths for regional coordinated development. Finally, the strategic and fundamental role of the major functional zoning is discussed.

    Subjects: Statistics >> Social Statistics submitted time 2024-05-18 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: For the first time, this study draws an Innovation Science Structure Map using the scientific structure mapping analysis method. It takes Essential Science Indicators (ESI) highly cited papers referenced in patents as the foundatial analyzing data, revealing the impact of leading-edge fundamental research on the development of technological innovation worldwide. It identifies the hotspot areas that are driving the advancement of technological innovation and compares the performance between China and the United States in these areas, providing robust data support for informed scientific decision-making. The analysis reveals that papers with a high number of patent references are primarily concentrated in emerging biotechnology and biomedical fields, as well as in new information technology, energy, and materials sectors that are likely to trigger disruptive technological innovations. There is a noticeable growth trend in China for papers with high citation counts referenced in patents, with a five-year cumulative growth exceeding 60%, but the total number is still less than half of that in the United States. The number of papers from China in many research hotspots closely associated with technological innovation is higher than that of the United States. Still, the count of papers referenced in patents is usually lower. The United States tends to fundamental research that influences technological innovation, leading more towards industrial transformation-related R&D activities, and involves a large number of enterprises.

  • Electric vehicles contribute to China’s energy security and carbon peaking and carbon neutrality

    Subjects: Statistics >> Social Statistics submitted time 2024-03-27 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: The current international situation is complicated and unstable, and China is in the midst of an important economic transition as it deals with the twin concerns of energy security and carbon peaking and carbon neutrality (referred to as dual carbon goals). Although the dual carbon goals aim a strong emphasis on energy security, certain emission reduction strategies will place restrictions on energy security that is directly connected, such as energy supply and grid load, making it challenging to simultaneously fulfill the optimization goal. China now has the task of figuring out how to rationalize and optimize the coordinated promotion of the two. Electric vehicles are one of the most effective ways to attain both sides and reduce the tension between energy security and dual carbon goals since they offer numerous advantages in terms of energy savings, energy storage, and emission reduction. This study suggests creating a bilateral integration and coordination system guaranteed by the policy network and based on energy storage technology by first reducing policy inconsistencies; giving the electric vehicle industry’s guarantee role full play in creating a network of suitable policies; increasing the energy storage role of electric vehicles as they stand; and creating a system of bilateral integration and coordination with joint policy and technology.

  • Regime of national park group based on protected area system in Tibetan Plateau

    Subjects: Statistics >> Social Statistics submitted time 2024-03-27 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: China’s national park reform has entered a new stage of promoting reform based on the protected area system. The national park team of the second comprehensive scientific investigation and research on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) took the lead in putting forward the construction plan of the TP protected area, which is dominated by national park in area and function. The TP national park group, including “small group” which refer to national park, and “large group” which refer to different protected areas, innovates the long-term mechanism for the construction of national ecological security barriers on TP. The national park group requires the overall management of the group. Nevertheless, there are still problems on TP, not only within a single national park, but also among national parks and between national park and other protected areas. In line with the new requirements of the reform of the national park, and focusing on the problems of TP protected area system, it is needed to accelerate the establishment of a trans provincial management system led by the central government of the TP national park group, and improve the relevant supporting systems at the same time, such as the establishment of national park and the guarantee of financial funds. It is also necessary to coordinate the multiple objectives of ecological protection and driving the synchronous modernization of local herdsmen. The vast number of herdsmen should participate the management and operation and become the continuous beneficiaries and active supporters of the national park group.

  • Problems and suggestions of building scientific decision-making and advisory mechanism of national parks—Governance-based perspective

    Subjects: Statistics >> Social Statistics submitted time 2024-03-27 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: National parks are multi-factor, multi-functional and multi-dimensional complexes, which makes them difficult to follow the traditional administration and management modes, and need to explore the construction of a modernized governance system. An important step in enhancing the effectiveness of governance is to establish a reasonable, and efficient scientific decision-making and consultation mechanism. China has made remarkable progress in scientific decision-making and consultation in national parks. However, there are still some problems with the national parks’ decision-making process and effectiveness due to vague definition of authority and responsibility, dependence on departmentalized management paths, and inadequate upward and downward transmission of information between decision-making and consultation, etc. This study draws on the operational experience of decision-making advisory mechanisms of national parks in the United States and France under different systems of centralized governance and polycentric governance, and analyzes the key components of clarifying the boundaries of authority and responsibility of decisionmaking advisory bodies of national parks in China. According to the degree of potential ecological and environmental impact, the degree of potential social impact and the realistic constraints of decision implementation, this study proposes that 26 decision contents, such as the formulation of national park laws and regulations and administrative regulations, need to give scientific experts the right to support the decision making in depth or even a veto, while 19 decision contents, such as the establishment of the boundary between central and local authority and responsibility, need to initiate a multi-party demonstration mechanism. This study also proposes countermeasures for disciplinary coordination, linkage and coordination, and institutional regulation of decision-making consultation.

    Subjects: Statistics >> Social Statistics submitted time 2024-03-27 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: Improving the governance system of national parks is an inevitable requirement for China’s high-quality construction of the world’s largest national park system. This study analyzes the main challenges and problems faced by China’s national park governance based on long-term investigation on national parks and national park system pilot areas. Under the overall logic of modernization of China’s national governance system and governance capabilities, drawing on international experiences in sound governance of regional and watershed public goods and national parks, this study proposes a theoretical framework for establishing a “four in one” national park governance system in China, including a comprehensive decision-making mechanism, a management and execution mechanism, a scientific decision-making and consultation mechanism, and a social participation mechanism. On this basis, five suggestions are proposed to deepen the reform of the national park governance system. (1) Establish a coordinated decisionmaking mechanism to solve the coordination difficulties faced by national park construction. (2) Deepen the reform of the management system, establish a government governance system for national parks with clear responsibilities and legal administration. (3) Improve the institutional system of multi-party participation throughout the entire process to promote collaboration and broad participation in national park system construction. (4) Improve scientific decision-making and consultation mechanisms to ensure scientific, democratic and lawful decision-making. (5) Expand the scope of spatial governance in national parks, promote green development in the surrounding areas of national parks, and establish harmonious relationships between national parks and local governments.

  • Measurement, evolution and international comparison of national science and technology competitiveness

    Subjects: Statistics >> Social Statistics submitted time 2024-03-27 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: The measurement of national science and technology competitiveness helps to describe the international competition pattern, and to provide decision-making reference for future-oriented science and technology policy and strategy formulation. From the perspective of input-process-output, the study proposes a three-dimensional measurement framework of potential-efficiency-strength for national science and technology competitiveness and realizes a multi-dimensional comprehensive measurement of national science and technology competitiveness, which takes the differences in both scale and efficiency into account. Based on The Report on National Science and Technology Competitiveness 2023, the study measures the national science and technology competitiveness of 34 major countries in the world and focuses on the evolution trend of national science and technology competitiveness of 11 countries including China from 2011 to 2022. On this basis, the science and technology competitiveness of 34 countries is further classified and analyzed from the three dimensions of science and technology competitiveness potential, science and technology competitiveness effectiveness, and science and technology competitiveness strength, so as to describe the technological competition pattern of 34 countries and reveal the status quo of China’s science and technology competitiveness. The research has found that the growth rate of China’s science and technology competitiveness has gradually slowed down in recent years, shifting towards a stage of steady growth. However, there is still significant room for improvement compared to leading countries. Among them, the level of China’s science and technology competitiveness strength is relatively high, but the indicators that reflect the quality of China’s technological output are still far from those of major technological powers. China’s science and technology competitiveness potential has improved but the level of intensity indicators is still lower than those of main technological powers. The significant decrease in the science and technology competitiveness effectiveness compared to major technological powers is the main factor restricting the improvement of China’s science and technology competitiveness. Finally, this study puts forward suggestions to improve China’s science and technology competitiveness.
