Sun Jinlong, Secretary of the Party Group of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment attended the meeting.

The "Administrative Measures" is the dominant document that stipulates the basic framework of the voluntary emission reduction trading market and is of great significance for the start-up and operation of the market. After the issuance of the "Administrative Measures", it is necessary to actively carry out publicity and interpretation, strengthen guidance and training for local governments, and prepare for the launch of the national voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading market. It is necessary to speed up the improvement of the voluntary emission reduction trading market system, and timely release supporting management systems such as project design and implementation norms, project approval and verification rules, registration and trading rules. It is necessary to properly publish project methodologies, first release a number of project methodologies with high social expectations, low technical disputes, guaranteed data quality, and both social and ecological benefits, and gradually expand the areas of voluntary emission reduction market support and strengthen market functions after the market has achieved a steady start and steady operation. It is necessary to accelerate the establishment of registration agencies and build and operate registration systems.
