During the meeting, the CCICED released its 2020 Annual Policy Recommendation “From Recovery to Green Prosperity: Accelerating the transition toward high-quality green development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period” and its 2020 Issues Paper “Recovering Forward.” Furthermore, each of the CCICED’s ten Special Policy Study (SPS) working teams released their research reports.

Speakers highlighted the importance of building a community with a shared future for mankind and jointly making efforts on protecting biodiversity and mitigating climate change. To effectively coordinate epidemic prevention and economic growth, China will adhere to the guiding concepts of the “Ecological Civilization” and the “Two Mountains Theory,” prioritize environmental protection and promote green development, according to a CCICED press release (in Chinese). China will also actively contribute to global environmental governance, the “Belt and Road Initiative” development and fulfilment of the SDG 2030 Agenda.

The CCICED will continue to support the drafting of China’s 14th Five Year Plan with policy research and recommendations in the areas of Ecological Civilization, green and low-carbon transition and green recovery after the COVID-19 epidemic.

The digital format and open live-broadcast offered a broader group of state and non-state actors an opportunity to participate in the event. The CCICED research results were distributed to a wide range of audiences.
