China green development index is a comprehensive assessment of China's provinces and cities of green economic development indicators, 2015 for China green development: report of the comprehensive analysis and measures of China's 30 provinces (regions and municipalities) and 100 Green development level of the city, through the "green checkup" shows the progress of provinces and cities in green development and changes. It is worth mentioning that, reporting PM2.5 annual average indexes incorporated in it.
On December 31, 2015 for China green development: report of the project, Deputy Director of the National Bureau of statistics of China economic situation monitoring center Pan Jiancheng surging News (www.thepaper.CN), said in an interview, the starting point of the report is in line with Chinese President often speaks of "two mountains".

GDP assessment advantages: quantity, not quality

2016 is the access to complete the building of a well-off society in China winning stages starting year. 18 plenary clear development during the next five years to implement the innovation, coordination, development of green, open, shared ideas.
"Green" now must adhere to sustainable development and promoting the construction of a beautiful country, and make new contributions to global ecological security. Constructing scientific and rational pattern of urbanization, agricultural development, ecological security patterns, natural shoreline pattern, promote the development of green low carbon cycle industry. Promoting the development of low-carbon cycle, building clean low carbon, secure and efficient modern energy system, implementation of demonstration engineering in the near-zero carbon emissions.
"Green" to enlarge environment Government dynamics, in-depth implementation of the air, water and soil pollution prevention action plan, the implementation of environmental law enforcement agencies to monitor the monitor vertical management system below the provincial. Constructing the ecological safety barrier protection priority, natural recovery and implementation of landscape forest ecological protection and restoration project, a massive afforestation, improve the system of natural forest protection, blue Gulf campaign.
But the "green" concept cannot only depend on the theory and qualitative, you also need to measure.
Pan Jiancheng believes that GDP assessment of economic growth in the past has its drawbacks: only output, not calculated because of the increased output of resource consumption and environmental damage.
"In the past so many years, our economic growth is relatively fast, but the resource consumption is huge, serious environmental damage. For example, the PM2.5 increasing influence leads to smog, which is one of the issues arising. "
He further explained that the GDP is defined as a country or region over a period of time the new sum of additional outputs, this new output does not count losses apart from the pollution. "Say this place had a lot of accidents, we have to clean up the environment, has to have a lot of input, but this accident could result in GDP growth, but the accident brought assets in, this GDP reflected it. "
In addition, the GDP reflect only new outputs from new investment, "cover buildings are GDP, down is GDP, because dismantling buildings cost money and remove end cover and GDP, so our major demolition and created a lot of new traffic, but not much stock, but bring resource consumption and environmental damage. Toss more resource consumption, the more ".
Pan Jiancheng believes that to change too much pay attention to traffic and stock ideas to change the excessive focus on quantity rather than quality of development.
Three-level 72 index evaluation system of new
How to find a different evaluation to measure GDP development?
Since the beginning of 2010, economic and resource management Institute of Beijing Normal University, Southwestern University of finance and Development Institute and the National Bureau of statistics of China economic situation monitoring center three organisations are published each year, the green development index, greening, environmental carrying capacity of resources from economic growth potential and support three aspects of Government policy, a comprehensive assessment of green economic development situation of the provinces and cities in China.
Target system includes 3 of the above indicators, including indicators of resource abundance and ecological protection, the environment pressure and 9 levels of climate change indicators, indicators, as well as 60 third-level indicators.
Pan Jiancheng surging told press, this evaluation needs to consider the efficiency of economic growth, resources and environmental protection of the State in promoting green development and Government increased input in the process.
As 2015 for China green development: report and comprehensive analysis and measures of China's 30 provinces (regions and municipalities) and 100 Green development level of the city, through the "green checkup" shows the progress of provinces and cities in green development and changes, both in 38 cities of green development, urban green development public satisfaction survey was conducted.
From this report, provincial green development level of China presents obvious regional differences: Government policy support in the eastern region are relatively low, resources and the environment is more prominent; and green development in the central region in Northeast China should be improved, overall lack of advantage.
"These indicators can be integrated to see green at the national and regional levels of development: GDP higher place, green development level is not high, and where relatively high GDP and most likely green development level is still good. "Pan Jiancheng stressed the need to evaluate the economic development from different perspectives.
Gu Shengzu, Vice Chairman of the NPC financial and Economic Committee finished in reviewing the report, said that 2015 is an important feature of the report "concentrations of respirable fine particulates (PM2.5) average" this important in the calculation of the indicator into the green index. Subject to prior issues of data availability, PM2.5 values not included in the measure, green development index this year, this indicator is included in the calculation of indices of green development more scientific and practical significance of accounting.
Pan Jiancheng that "our goals must not say perfect, but the effort towards the perfect", for example, he said, although listed in the index of carbon dioxide emissions, but statistics is very difficult because the current carbon dioxide emissions, data still in the relative lack of status.
