党中央、国务院对节能减排工作高度重视,要求政府机关在建设节约型社会和落实节能减排工作目标中发挥模范带头作用,建设节约型机关。对此,周生贤局长多次指示,强调“环保总局作为节能减排主管部门之一,要起表率作用”。环保总局作为国家环保行政管理部门,既是节能减排政策的参与者、节能减排落实的监督者, The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to energy conservation and emission reduction and require government agencies to play an exemplary role in building a conservation-oriented society and in implementing the targets of energy conservation and emission reduction, and to build a conservation-oriented organization. In response, Director Zhou Shengxian repeatedly instructed and stressed that “the State Environmental Protection Administration, as one of the competent departments for energy saving and emission reduction, should play a leading role.” As a national environmental protection administrative department, SEPA is not only a participant in the energy conservation and emission reduction policy but also a supervisor of energy conservation and emission reduction implementation.
