Energy and Climate Technology Innovation System
in China
As one of the countries in the world which have been long involved
in climate change research, China strives to make scientific and
technological advances and innovations in climate change, and actively
promotes international scientific and technological cooperation.
In 2006, the Government of China released the National Guidelines
for Medium- and Long-term Plan for Scientific and Technological
Development (2006–20) which identified energy and environment
as the first priorities for scientific and technological development,
and enlisted global environment change monitoring and response
strategies as one of the priority research themes in the area of
environment. In 2007, in association with the National Development
and Reform Commission and 13 other ministries or commissions, the
Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) released China’s Scientific
and Technological Actions on Climate Change. In 2010, together with
other relevant departments, MoST organized the preparation of the
national scientific and technological development plan for addressing
climate change for the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (FYP) period. It made
an overall deployment for scientific and technological work in
response to climate change in this FYP period. In recent years, China
has continuously enhanced the macro-management and coordination
for scientific research and technological development, and increased
investments in R&D. In support of research on energy conservation,
emission reduction and addressing climate change, China had invested
over RMB 13 billion in total in key Science and Technology (S&T)
research programmes, under which more than 150 research projects
had been funded in the 11th FYP period. China has made significant
progress in scientific research and technological development in
response to climate change, with a fully improved S&T capacity for
tackling climate change.
Current Status on Technological Research and Development
In the Eleventh FYP period, MOST had systematically forged ahead
with technological R&D for climate change mitigation and adaptation
under the National S&T Enabling Program and the National High-tech
