Low-carbon Expo is a slogan put forward by Shanghai World Expo. Many low-carbon theme activities are planned according to the concept of low-carbon Expo, which deepens the theme of low-carbon activities and magnifies the influence of the concept of low-carbon Expo. In terms of major celebrations, we always adhere to the principle of one-time investment and recycling, and communicate in a "low-carbon language" that both sides can understand under the banner of low carbon.
brief introduction
Low-carbon Expo is a slogan put forward by Shanghai World Expo.
Under the three themes of "low-carbon, harmonious and sustainable city", Shanghai World Expo tries to solve the urbanization problem brought about by the industrial revolution. Achim steiner, under-secretary-general of the United Nations and executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme, believes that Shanghai has set a new standard for the theme of "Better City, Better Life" in many aspects. The picture shows the "Crown of the East" of the China National Pavilion, which is taken from the element of ancient wooden buildings in China-the bucket arch. China Pavilion Garden on the roof of the regional pavilion will also effectively achieve thermal insulation through ecological agricultural landscape and other technical measures, reducing energy consumption by more than 25% compared with the traditional mode.
Outer wall of waste CD
Entering the Expo Park in full swing, the Shanghai Enterprise Pavilion is inconspicuous, but the translucent exterior wall attracts the attention of reporters.
. "This is polycarbonate made of recycled waste optical discs. It is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and it can also add artistic beauty to the facade of the building. " Gu, general manager of the Shanghai Enterprise Pavilion project, said. The concept of "environmental protection" can be seen everywhere in the Expo site. The ecological green wall of 50,000 square meters is the largest in the world; The installed capacity of solar power generation is 4.6 MW, ranking first in the country; The 420km rail transit network, 1000 new energy vehicles, and the "zero emission" of public transport in the park make people shine. Shanghai has made great efforts to build a "low-carbon Expo". In addition to the pavilions in China, the pavilions in participating countries also show the beauty of "low-carbon life". At the entrance of the 3,000-square-meter spiral ramp of the Danish Pavilion, there are conspicuous and unique exhibits-bicycles, and a pond that is about to pour into the clear water of Copenhagen Harbor. After the opening of the World Expo 1 on May 6th, the audience can experience the "low-carbon life" in northern Europe: riding a bicycle, or taking off shoes and socks, soaking their feet in the clear seawater and enjoying the coolness in summer. The green building technology of the German Pavilion, the environmentally-friendly rattan materials of the Spanish Pavilion and the zero-carbon community in London are like a "primitive cave" without water, electricity and heat, which makes the Expo site beautifully dressed.
The world's largest single-area solar roof
The solar panels on the roof of the theme pavilion of Shanghai World Expo cover an area of over 30,000 square meters, which is the largest single solar roof in the world low-carbon Expo. The annual power generation can reach 2.8 million kWh, which is equivalent to the total electricity consumption of more than 45 million residents in Shanghai in one year. It can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 2,800 tons per year, which is equivalent to saving more than 0/000 tons of standard coal per kloc. The roof of Shanghai World Expo Theme Pavilion was selected as the largest single solar roof in world record association, China.
The largest ecological green wall in the world
The 5,000-square-meter ecological green wall on the facade of the theme pavilion of Shanghai World Expo is the largest ecological green wall in the world. The ecological green wall is also a major symbol of energy saving in the exhibition hall. Greening and heat-insulating external walls can effectively block radiation and reduce the air temperature near the surface of external walls in summer. In winter, the external wall will form an insulation layer, which will reduce the wind speed and thus prolong the service life of the external wall. The roof of Shanghai World Expo Theme Pavilion was selected as the largest single solar roof in world record association, China. The wall of Shanghai World Expo Theme Pavilion was selected as the largest ecological green wall in world record association, China.
Environmental protection energy
As the largest World Expo, although the organizers have racked their brains to promote environmentally-friendly buildings and adopt environmentally-friendly energy, their carbon emissions are still inevitably considerable, among which the carbon emissions generated by tourists' travel and accommodation account for the vast majority. In view of this, the organizers not only thoroughly implemented the low-carbon concept in the preparatory process of the Expo, but also launched a large number of publicity activities for the public, such as "green travel", with the enthusiastic attention and active participation of all sectors of society, in an effort to make the Shanghai World Expo an international event to vigorously publicize, promote and practice the voluntary emission reduction mechanism. Low-carbon details can be found everywhere in Shanghai World Expo: discarded beverage paper packaging such as milk, which people usually don't pay much attention to, can turn waste into treasure and be recycled, and become tourist service facilities such as Expo environmental protection chairs, Expo environmental protection trash cans and Expo program books. We promote the activities of "Green Expo" and "I am proud of my chair", mobilize the whole society to collect environmental protection products before the Expo, and provide services for park visitors during the Expo, so as to practice the environmental protection concepts of "low carbon" and "sustainability" through actions.
save energy and cut emissions
The highlights of low-carbon and environmental protection technology are also flashing everywhere: the planning and construction of the Shanghai World Expo venues always adhere to the concept of "energy saving and emission reduction", and carry out special design around the ecological environment, solar energy, resource recycling and other aspects, and organize the gradual implementation. For example, Baosteel's big stage, docks and other important performance venues are all transformed from old factories. The large-scale use of LED energy-saving lighting in activity venues has certain restrictions on the decibel level of sound; Encourage the extensive use of new energy, new technologies and new materials that conform to the concept of environmental protection; Some venues are equipped with environmentally-friendly chairs, and the beauty dance adheres to the principle of "one investment, multiple use". Strive to highlight the "low-carbon" scientific and technological highlights from facilities to details on the basis of ensuring the effect. The three core contents of the Expo theme are "activities, exhibitions and forums", among which tens of thousands of cultural performing arts activities will be held before and after the Expo, which well explains the concept of "low-carbon life".
Low carbon activity
1. Communicate globally in low-carbon language at the World Expo.
2. The activities organized by international exhibitors also embody the concept of "Low-carbon Expo", which is quite rich in content, among which the representative is the upcoming low-carbon concert organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
3. Many charity stars will perform on the same stage. During the performance, the stage will be "closed for one hour", and the power needed to perform the beauty dance during this hour will be provided by solar cells. The concert is scheduled to be held on June 5th, which is the "Honor Day of International Organizations" and the "World Environment Day" of WWF during the World Expo. The fund hopes to appeal to people to choose a "low-carbon" lifestyle and make the city better by turning off the lights.
4. In these activities, the "One World" project will tell a "low-carbon story"; The "Global Youth Tour" project will showcase the most advanced "low-carbon technology" in the world; The "Happy Dressing Parade" project will hold a "low-carbon parade" and the "Fish Bay" project will attract children to learn "low-carbon knowledge" in the future. These activities fully embody the concept of "low-carbon Expo".
5. We can imagine that when tourists buy Expo tickets, they will receive "low-carbon Expo tips" on their mobile phones; After arriving in Shanghai, welcome SMS reminds us of "green travel around Bo" again. The transportation card purchased and used by visitors is "Expo Green Travel Transportation Card"; What I saw was the advertisement of "Low-carbon Expo, Green Travel"; After entering the Expo site, I used the Expo Visit Guide Manual sent by SMS or MMS, and there was no paper. I visited the distinctive "low-carbon exhibition area" and experienced the future low-carbon lifestyle displayed by "Digital Life Laboratory of a Future City in the World".
6. For the pioneers of low-carbon concept, China International Import Expo(CIIE) will provide a higher level of "low-carbon practice": visitors can use their mobile phones or online "green travel carbon calculator" to calculate their carbon emissions during their visit to China International Import Expo(CIIE), or directly purchase "carbon indicators" online; You can also buy "carbon index Expo souvenirs" such as "carbon index green travel transportation card"; You can also directly participate in carbon reduction activities such as planting trees to directly or indirectly reduce your carbon footprint.
