Wan GangThe President of the China Science and Technology Association, to unite scientists around the world and bring scientific exchange and technical cooperation to the forefront in order to build a community and work under the principle of sharing the future of humanity. Called on the Chinese scientific community.

This will require more collaborative and supportive principles of borderless open science for Chinese scientists to promote new innovations and solutions to the common problems faced by all humankind. Mr. Wang said in the article.

Currently, the global situation is fundamentally shaken by certain issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic. A new phase of science and technology revolution and industrial reform is about to begin. At this point, Wang said there is an urgent need for cooperation between the global community engaged in scientific research.

Chinese officials once said that innovation is a decisive factor in promoting economic and social development and addressing the common challenges of humankind. Such global cooperation can increase a higher level of openness and provide a systematic solution to the common concerns of people around the world.

at present, China We have established cooperative relationships in scientific research with more than 160 countries and regions. It is a member of more than 200 international organizations and multilateral frameworks. It has signed up to 115 intergovernmental science and technology cooperation agreements.

China Association for Science and Technology and its regional offices China Participates in 372 international scientific and technological organizations. It keeps an eye on several major projects such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor based in. France And in the harsh COVID-19 situation, it paved the way for further cooperation in the prevention and management of epidemics.

Several major projects have launched and are open to visitors around the world, including the world’s largest one-dish radio telescope, the 500-meter spherical radio telescope and the Shanghai Synchrotron Radio Telescope Project.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, Chinese science and technology workers have been actively promoting a sharing system to provide knowledge and information on epidemic countermeasures.

They rapidly isolated and identified the viral strain and shared the entire genomic sequence with the World Health Organization. They frequently exchanged information in scientific journals and began close cooperation in virus tracking, clinical diagnosis and treatment, vaccination experiments, and testing of infected individuals.

These efforts provided basic information to scientists around the world in related research and helped some developing countries and vulnerable groups to obtain vaccines and medicines at low cost.

Since the Chinese government announced that it will peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. China We have taken many routes and made considerable efforts to pursue our goals.

Innovation has played an important role in recent years Chinese In the energy field, new achievements are constantly emerging. Chinese Ultra-supercritical coal-fired power generation and ultra-high voltage transmission technology have achieved world-leading levels.

Nuclear power projects such as Hualong One technology — Chinese Domestically developed third-generation reactors are also an important step in this effort.

Scale of use of renewable energy China It is ranked at the top in the world. By the end of 2020, the cumulative installed capacity of renewable energy China It accounts for about one-third of the world’s total installed capacity.

Among them, the cumulative installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, and solar power generation is all ranked as the highest in the world, strongly supporting the use of clean and low carbon energy.

Accelerating the development of new energy vehicles is also an important way to reach our carbon-neutral goals. In 2021, the global market for new energy vehicles maintained rapid growth.New energy vehicle sales China It exceeds 3 million a year.

At the 2021 World New Energy Vehicle Conference, automobile companies from 15 countries saidHainan Through low carbon energy supply, low carbon material supply, low carbon manufacturing process, low carbon transportation, “consensus” advocated the development of green and low carbon for the entire life cycle and the entire industrial chain of new energy vehicles.

While addressing global climate change, land desertification is also becoming more of a concern. As a major force in tackling desertification around the world China Adhering to the principle that “ecology and green development are priorities”, we have made every effort for decades to resolve the desertification of the land.

International cooperation on science and technology is also an important element of the Belt and Road Initiative, whose main theme is cultural exchange and people’s connections around the world.

Under the framework of BRI China We have adhered to the principles of peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, and have pursued results that are mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial. Full respect for BRI’s national and regional development goals, China Wang said he carried out science and culture exchange projects, built jointly managed laboratories, established science and technology industrial estates, and led to better commercialization of research results.

Under the principle of building a community that shares the future of humanity China Adhering to our global vision and building confidence in innovation. It worked in collaboration with BRI’s countries and regions in scientific and cultural cooperation, education, public health, the digital economy, green development and other areas, Wang said.

“Science and technology are powerful tools for development and can also be a source of risk. We actively investigate and judge conflicts, social risks and ethical challenges caused by science and technology,” said one senior official. And the legislation needs to be improved. Ethical review rules and regulatory framework. “

“In addition, the Chinese scientific community needs to be deeply involved in global governance, providing valuable Chinese insights and helping to shape the concept of science and technology for greater benefit. In this way, science. The principle that technology promotes human well-being and builds a shared future community for humanity. “

Currently, a new phase of the science and technology revolution is taking place. And, Mr. Wang said, science and technology innovation has a great impact on the production and lifestyle of human society.

Entering a new stage of development China Wang added that he is more determined to deepen open science and global cooperation in science and technology and to advocate the spirit of open science without borders, barriers and discrimination.
