SpeakerMukul Sanwal

In everyone’s anticipated applause,Mukul SanwalThe professor walked onto the podium, was personable and spoke eloquently, attracting everyone's attention from the beginning of his speech.

He started with the Paris Agreement. He sees the Paris climate agreement as a turning point that shows Asia will account for half of the world'sGDPAlready a historical trend,It marks that the low-price commodity w88 and financial system determined by the Bretton Woods system after World War II has become obsolete, and a new organizational rule has a huge market. He also expressed that he shouldWith the help of climate agreementReshape a series of issues such as science, economy, society, politics and global governance, and emphasize the distribution and use of natural resources, indicating that the future development direction of a city is closely related to its positioning.

Mukul SanwalIntroduces the development trends of the world. He said that the urban population was1970Nianhe2050Increased seven times between years,Consumption accounted forGDPof2/3,The population has also changed.As more and more people move from rural areas to cities, the degree of industrialization and urbanization is deepening, the construction of infrastructure needs to be improved, and consumption has become the main driving force of social development. It is expected to205012451_12485. Therefore, achieving balance with nature is a new requirement. Nature is the integration of various systems in human society, and climate issues cannot be ignored.

Mukul Sanwalsaid that over the past century, industrialization around the world has greatly increased the urban population and has also led to the emergence of a large number of middle-class consumers; and in this highly urbanized world, the most important goal we should pursue is to live in peace with nature. Housing, food and circulation are the three basic needs of today's human society. In addition, people are also pursuing a higher quality of life. In contrast, there are fewer and fewer natural resources, huge population growth and high carbon emissions.Mukul Sanwalgave a simple example: "When this lecture ends and we all leave this classroom, will the last person leave alone, or will he turn off all the lights and then leave?" He believes that cities need to truly utilize energy to achieve a win-win situation of energy saving and improvement of quality of life. He emphasized that it is a good practice to use resources to develop infrastructure, especially public transportation. When explaining the rational use of resources, he pointed out that food production consumes a large amount of resources, but every year40%'s food was wasted.In a rapidly urbanizing worldHow to plan a city that can maintain a high-quality life for more people and how to utilize resources are issues that require efforts from all parties.

Teachers and students listen carefully

Starting from the issue of carbon emissions, he pointed out that Asia has made a great contribution to world economic growth. He explained that a country's carbon emissions are interrelated with its development speed and level of development, and cited real-life situations in China, India and other countries as examples, affirming the efforts of developing countries in reducing carbon emissions and "changing lifestyles." In today's world, the rapid development of the tertiary industry has made it possible for ecological civilization and economic growth to coexist. The development of low-energy-consuming industries is an important way to reduce pollution. Energy conservation and emission reduction is a model worth thinking about. Expanding energy conservation and emission reduction into a long-term plan rather than just an annual plan is one of our development goals. He also said that in order to achieve sustainable development in the true sense, the country needs to make changes in many aspects such as economic policies, management models and changes in national attitudes.Despite the uncertainty, the core of global environmental agreements remains sharing. Many countries have emphasized the impact of national situations on national income and national environmental governance, and reducing this income gap requires a new situation of international cooperation. In today's climate development, environmental protection also requires an equal agreement, which is the justice and fairness in ecological civilization that we emphasize.Finally, he emphasized that the new world order has begun to take shape. How China should formulate rules and find its position in the world is an issue that we should all pay attention to.

Teacher Wang Bo’s concluding remarks

MukulAfter the professor’s speech, Wang Bo made a concluding speech: “MukulThe professor's speech revealed that countries such as China and India are changing the old order of the world. The Paris Agreement reflects this change, in which developing countries play a greater role in formulating international rules than before.

From the professor's speech, we learned that only by adhering to a sustainable development approach can we truly have a good era. ”

The professor replied that the market economy of the new order is more stable, and sharp changes in goods prices have become a thing of the past. The second difference is that the unsustainable development in the old order has turned into the sustainable development based on the Internet, renewable energy and shared technology in the new order, and the old order has changed from not paying attention to balance to the new order paying attention to balance.
