Realizing the peak of carbon dioxide emission and carbon neutrality is an extensive and profound systematic economic and social change, and it is a long-term and complex systematic project, which requires the joint efforts of all industries and fields in the whole society.

As far as agriculture, rural areas and farmers are concerned, the greenhouse gases produced by agricultural and rural activities and land use change account for about 17% of the total global greenhouse gas emissions, which is one of the important sources of carbon emissions. "This may be beyond the conventional perception of the public. It is generally believed that manufacturing, energy transportation and other fields have large carbon emissions. In fact, the proportion of agricultural carbon emissions is not small. "

With the growth of world population and food demand, greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, rural areas and farmers will further increase. Therefore, it is very important to accelerate emission reduction and carbon sequestration in agriculture, rural areas and farmers.

Through high-standard farmland construction and scientific and effective field management, the utilization efficiency of cultivated land resources and the output efficiency of land can be improved, and the rational use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can be realized, which is conducive to low carbon emission reduction.

Moreover, eco-environmental protection projects that focus on carbon reduction in agriculture, rural areas and farmers can often achieve "multiple goals".

Fishery and other three-dimensional formats, farmers can also carry out production activities such as agriculture and animal husbandry while using clean energy, thus achieving income growth.

There are many similar cases. These integration projects will help promote green development and rural revitalization, and drive farmers to increase their income and get rich.

As the only agricultural policy bank, in recent years, the Agricultural Development Bank has continuously increased its support for green finance and contributed to the goal of "double carbon".

The balance of green loans of the Agricultural Development Bank exceeded 2 trillion yuan, an increase of 17.68%, accounting for nearly1/4 of the bank's loan balance; A total of 82.02 billion yuan and 500 million euros of green bonds were issued.

Supported green credit projects * * * saved more than 40,000 tons of standard coal/kloc-0, reduced the equivalent of carbon dioxide by more than 27 million tons, and saved about180,000 tons of water.

The deployment of agricultural development bank in green finance will focus on three aspects:

First, give full play to the role of policy finance, sort out and summarize the experience of credit and capital services in stabilizing the economic market, integrate the development of green financial services and services into the implementation of major national strategies, properly handle the relationship between development and emission reduction, implement the important tasks assigned by the State Council of the CPC Central Committee, and continue to play the role of "being the leader, making up the shortcomings and being counter-cyclical".

Second, focus on five key areas, such as pollution prevention of important rivers and lakes such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, intensive recycling of agricultural resources, construction of livable and suitable beautiful countryside, protection and restoration of important ecosystems, and clean and low-carbon energy transformation, and continue to increase green financial support to provide quality services for the green development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers.

The third is to practice the concept of environment, society and governance (ESG), study and establish an ESG management system with the characteristics of the Agricultural Development Bank, effectively incorporate the requirements of environment, society and governance into the comprehensive risk management system and the whole process management of credit business, and continuously improve the sustainable development governance capacity and management level of the Agricultural Development Bank.
