Dear Mr. Zhang Guoqiang , Chairman of International Silk Union , Prof. Chen Wenxing, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, ISU Vice Chairman Mr. Xavier LEPINGLE, Mr. Stefano Vitali, Ms. Renata Amano, Mr. Zhao Feng , Mr. Chen Xiangping , Mr. Rajit Ranjan Okhandiar, Secretary General of International Sericultural Commission, Mr. Guido Tettamanti, Secretary-general of Ufficio Italiano Seta, Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, I am very glad to have the opportunity to discuss the sustainable development of the global silk industry with colleagues from all walks of life. On behalf of the China Textile Industry Federation, I would like to extend my congratulations on the success of the forum! Thanks to all the friends from all walks of life who have cared and supported the development of silk industry for a long time!
It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to discuss with you on silk sustainable development. On behalf of China National Textile & Apparel Council, I would like to extend congratulations to the successful convening of the Forum and sincere thanks to all friends for your attention and support to the development of silk industry all the time. At present, global climate change is affecting the development of human society at an unprecedented speed and amplitude, and changing the industrial ecology and economic and trade pattern. Adhering to sustainable development and achieving carbon neutrality has become the global industry consensus and focus of competition and cooperation. Global climate change is affecting human society in a speed and a scale we have never seen before. It changes the ecology of industries and the landscape of economy and trade.Sustainability and carbon neutrality have become a general consensus and focus of coopetition of global industries. Silk industry, which runs through the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, carries the pursuit of human beings for a better life. It is the earliest and symbolic industry in globalization. We will promote green innovation, green manufacturing, green consumption and circular economy in the global silk industry, and realize the industrial development as soon as possible “ Carbon neutralization ” It is not only related to industrial responsibility, but also of special significance. Silk industry, connected with primary, secondary and tertiary industries, bearing the pursuit of human beings for better life, is a pioneering industry in globalization and symbolization. It is the industrial responsibility and of special significance to promote green innovation, green manufacturing, green consumption and recycling economy so as to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible. Sustainable development is undoubtedly the right direction. We should do the right thing and do the right thing. At present, there are some unreasonable international evaluation and practices for the sustainable development of the industry. In particular, some unilateral and unscientific information on the impact of silk environment has misled the production and consumption of the global silk industry and affected the healthy development of the industry. Sustainability is certainly the right direction. We need to do the right thing and do it in a right way. Currently, there are some inappropriate international evaluation and practice on industry sustainable development. In particular, some one-sided information on the environmental impact of silk industry have misled both silk producers and consumers, and impeded the sound development of the industry. An important goal of this international think tank Forum on sustainable development of silk industry is to achieve the goal for silk industry “ Carbon neutralization ” In order to better protect the image and interests of the global silk industry, we should look for scientific programs and paths to find objective technologies and methods for the life cycle assessment of silk products. The main purpose of the Forum is to seek for a scientific solution to achieve carbon neutrality, and an objective methodology to evaluate the life cycle of silk products to protect the image as well as interests of global silk industry. “ Carbon peak and carbon neutralization ” It is not only the internal requirement for China to realize sustainable development and high-quality development, but also an inevitable choice to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. Last year, China announced its efforts two thousand and thirty Carbon peaked a year ago, two thousand and sixty To achieve the goal of carbon neutrality a year ago. In the shortest time in the history of the world, the reduction of the highest carbon emission intensity in the world fully reflects China's determination and strength to deal with climate change. Carbon peak and carbon neutrality are not only China’s own need to secure sustainable and high-quality development, but also a right choice for building a community with a shared future for mankind. Last year, China announced to strive to peak carbon dioxide emission by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Such commitment means that China will accomplish the maximum carbon emission reduction in a much shorter time span than what might take many developed countries and that reflects the resolution and decisiveness of China. China's silk industry will also actively integrate into this global and systematic action, and work with global partners to jointly promote the sustainable development and development of silk industry “ Carbon neutralization ” Implementation of. I would like to take this opportunity to make three suggestions to my colleagues in the global silk industry China’s silk industry will also join the action with global partners and make contribution to the silk sustainable development. I’d like to put forward three suggestions to all the colleagues and friends in the world silk industry. First, we should adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts and set goals scientifically. We should respect the objective law, proceed from the actual situation of the industry, do a good job in planning, set segmented goals, and scientifically grasp the industry “ Carbon neutralization ” Work content, strength and rhythm. First, we need to set goals by seeking truth from facts. To achieve carbon neutrality, we must respect objective laws, make plans in line with industry realities and take action step by step. Second, we should adhere to the problem orientation and systematically improve the ability. We will promote manufacturing upgrading and technological innovation, create a green and low-carbon circular silk industry system, and promote the green transformation of the whole value chain from raw materials, design, production to recycling. Second, we need to tackle the most pressing issues first to enhance overall capability. We will build a green, low-carbon and recycling silk industry system to foster the green transformation of the entire value chain from raw materials, designing, production to recycling. Third, adhere to international cooperation and jointly meet challenges. We should strengthen the international exchange of industry, University and Research Institute, strengthen publicity, enhance consensus, and promote practical cooperation with project subjects as the carrier, and seek to realize global silk “ Carbon neutralization ” The greatest common divisor of. Third, we need to work globally to meet challenges. We will increase exchanges, strengthen promotion,reach consensus and carry out project cooperation to seek a convergence of interests in realizing the carbon neutrality of global silk industry. My friends, if you put your efforts together, you will be invincible. Let's move forward hand in hand to create a better future! Nothing is impossible when we pool all our efforts. Let us join our hands and work together for a better future. Finally, I wish the forum a complete success! Thank you! Finally,I wish the Forum a great success. Thank you!
