Features: In June 2005, the International Symposium on "Designing a Resource-Saving Society" was held in Beijing. This was the first specialized international symposium held after the Chinese government explicitly put forward the Scientific Outlook on Development and emphasized the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society. The symposium was co-hosted by the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Development Research Center. Leaders from the Chinese and foreign governments, leaders of international organizations, renowned experts and scholars, and senior executives of multinational companies engaged in in-depth discussions on various aspects such as energy conservation, water conservation, legislation for circular economy, circular economy, conservation of mineral resources and land, resource conservation in urbanization, energy conservation and climate change. The candid exchanges during the symposium achieved the expected results, yielding many valuable opinions and suggestions. This book is a collection of speeches, comments, and research reports from the "Building a Resource-Saving Society" International Symposium. As the first domestic publication to compile the latest policy trends and theoretical research findings on building a resource-saving society both domestically and internationally, readers can gain insights into the challenges and issues China faces in sustainable development, the policy measures taken by the Chinese government, and some successful experiences from other countries around the world. This book contributes to raising public awareness of the significant importance of building a resource-saving society, enhancing urgency and sense of responsibility, improving resource utilization efficiency, promoting sustainable economic and social development, and protecting the shared home of humanity.
