Samaranch Jr. praised the concept of "green Olympics" for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded

On January 17, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question: A few days ago, Samaranch Jr., chairman of the Coordination Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games of the International Olympic Committee, was interviewed and fully affirmed the concept of "green Hosting the Olympic Games" of the Beijing Winter Olympics, believing that the Beijing Winter Olympics will become the "greenest" Olympic Games. What is the Spokesperson's comment on this?

Zhao Lijian said that as Chairman Samaranch Jr. said, one of the biggest features of this Winter Olympics is "green environmental protection". The Beijing Winter Olympics is the first Olympic Games to practice the Olympic Agenda 2020 from the whole process of bidding, organizing and hosting, and the concept of green Olympics runs through the entire preparation process. The 26 venues in the three major competition areas of the Beijing Winter Olympics will achieve 100% green power supply for the first time in history. This means savings of 4.9 million tonnes of standard coal and 12.8 million tonnes of CO2 per year. It can be said that China has fully realized the concept of "green Olympic Games". China's "Green Olympics" is not only to fulfill its own "double carbon" commitments, but also to provide the world with Chinese solutions, Chinese wisdom and Chinese contributions on how to deal with the relationship between people and nature, development and protection.

"I'll ask you a question." Zhao Lijian asked on the spot, where does the "green electricity" used in the Beijing Winter Olympic venues come from? From Zhangbei, Hebei. As the saying goes, "Zhangbei has a wind, blowing from spring to winter." "We have established the Zhangbei Renewable Energy Demonstration Project, which converts wind from Zhangbei into clean electricity, integrates it into the Jibei power grid, and then transmits it to beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou. These electricity not only lit up the Olympic venues, but also lit up the lights of Beijing. The story is called "The Wind of Zhangbei Lights Up the Lights of Beijing."

Zhao Lijian pointed out that the charm of Beijing's "Green Winter Olympics" is not only this, but also reflected in China's sincere vision of "sustainable and future" in hosting the Olympic Games. Here I'll give you another example. If you visit the Zhangshanying Winter Olympic Forest Park in Yanqing District, Beijing, you will find that many trees have their own unique two-dimensional code "ID cards", and after scanning, they will find that they were actually transplanted from the construction of Yanqing Competition Area. We take ex-situ protection as an ecological compensation, which not only guards the green mountain for the Winter Olympics area, but also adds another vivid footnote to the concept of "green Olympic Games". In less than 20 days, the Beijing Winter Olympics are about to kick off, the beautiful picture of the green Winter Olympics is slowly unfolding, and more wonderful things will be revealed one by one, and like everyone else, I am also full of expectations for this Beijing Winter Olympics.
