2005 年度报告

2005 was a year of significant progress for GEI. We have more clearly defined the methods of using market mechanism to solve environmental problems and carried out various demonstration projects throughout the country, gradually achieving substantial results. In terms of energy efficiency and climate warming, we have begun to use carbon trading for financing, and adopt waste heat power generation technology to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions in China's cement industry. We have completed the comprehensive research, analysis and commercial feasibility study of developing biodiesel in China. We have cooperated with the American energy foundation to complete the design of Urban BRT, and achieved the success of the first line trial operation in Beijing. These projects have taken a promising first step for gei to solve environmental problems, cope with global climate change, improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and solve investment and financing problems. In terms of biodiversity protection, we are committed to research and introduce some new protection concepts and mechanisms from abroad, cooperate with China's forestry sector, including government, scientific research, enterprises, and foreign institutions to conduct grass-roots research, write policy proposals and design demonstration projects, and promote the establishment of forest agreement protection mechanism and clean development mechanism. These efforts will enable community residents to master more survival skills, improve their living income and have awareness and knowledge of environmental protection, so that the conflict between biodiversity protection and community livelihood can be alleviated and resolved. In terms of rural sustainable development, our demonstration projects in Yunnan and Guangxi have been further developed. Our multi-faceted development model of sustainable energy, organic agriculture and eco-tourism has been recognized by the farmers. The farmers' income has been greatly improved and win-win environmental and economic benefits have been achieved. We also extended the feasibility study to Tibet and Sri Lanka. These projects have introduced fundamental changes in the organization of economic activities in rural areas, and achieved gei's goal of sustainable but ecological development in rural areas. In the capacity-building plan, we are committed to providing training for national and local policy makers, non-governmental organizations and journalists, including in the concept and mechanism of sustainable development. We are also involved in training in the new EIA law and public hearings. At the same time, we cooperate with international organizations to publish publications and provide assistance in the study of environmental issues in China. While continuing to do these projects well, the new project in 2006 will focus on improving China's ability to use the clean development mechanism in industry, better standardizing forestry enterprises and implementing the agreement protection mechanism, so as to make community level protection possible and attractive in economic benefits. Thanks to all the donors who support our work! With your help, our efforts will bring us closer to our ideal: a fair world in which society, environment and economic benefits are linked, industry is responsible and clean, and rural areas are relatively prosperous.

2005年是GEI取得重大进展的一年。我们更清楚地确定了利用市场机制来解决环境问题的方法并且在全国开展了各种示范项目，逐步获得实质性的效果。在能源能效和气候变暖方面，我们已经开始利用碳交易进行融资，采用余热发电技术在中国水泥行业开始提高能效、减少二氧化碳排放的改造。我们完成了在中国发展生物柴油的综合调研、分析以及商业可行性研究。我们与美国能源基金会合作完成了有关城市快速公交的设计，并在北京取得了第一条线路试运行的成功。这些项目为GEI以市场为导向解决环境问题、应对全球气候变化、提高能效减少二氧化碳排放、以及如何解决投、融资等方面的问题走出了可喜的第一步。在生物多样性保护方面，我们致力于研究和引进国外一些新的保护概念和机制，与中国的林业部门包括政府、科研、企业，和国外机构一起合作，进行基层调研、撰写政策建议书和设计示范项目，推动森林协议保护机制和清洁发展机制的建立。这些努力将使社区居民掌握更多的生存技能、提高生活收入的同时具备保护环境的意识和知识，使生物多样性保护与社区生计的冲突得到缓解和解决。在农村可持续发展方面，我们在云南和广西的示范项目得到进一步的发展。我们的多方位的可持续能源、有机农业和生态旅游的发展模式，得到农民的认可，农民的收益得到了大幅度的提高，取得了环境和经济效益双赢。我们还把可行性研究扩展到了西藏和斯里兰卡。这些项目在农村地区的经济活动中引入了组织机构方面的根本改变，并实现了 GEI在农村发展方面可持续但不破坏生态的目标。在能力建设计划中，我们致力于对国家和地方决策者、非政府组织和记者提供包括在可持续发展概念、机制方面的培训。我们也参与新的环境影响评估法和公众听证方面的培训。同时，我们与国际组织合作出版刊物，并对中国环境问题的研究提供协助。在继续做好以上这些项目的同时，2006年的新项目将致力于改进中国在工业中利用清洁发展机制的能力，更好地规范林业企业以及实施协议保护机制，以使社区层面的保护成为可能，并在经济效益上具有吸引力。感谢所有支持我们工作的捐助者！在你们的帮助下，我们的努力将使我们更接近我们的理想：一个社会、环境和经济效益联系起来、工业是负责任的和清洁的、农村相对繁荣的公平的世界。
