The plan, jointly issued by the Ministry of Commerce and eight other government departments, outlines 20 policy measures across seven key areas to strengthen incentives for green consumption, covering sectors such as agricultural products, home appliances and accommodation services. It also details financial and other supporting policies to enhance the green consumption environment.
The initiative seeks to broaden the adoption of green consumption behaviors, and speed up the transition toward low-carbon production and lifestyles, according to a notice posted on the official website of the Ministry of Commerce.
The plan prioritizes improving quality supply in essential livelihood-related sectors, calling for increased availability of green agricultural products and wider adoption of energy-efficient home appliances.
It also promotes greener vehicle consumption by incentivizing the purchase of new energy vehicles and strengthening the automotive industry chain, while fostering innovative consumption scenarios including RV camping, drive-in cinema experiences and road travel.
The plan also aims to upgrade green service consumption by promoting green catering, accommodation and household services.
To foster new green consumption models, the plan calls for building green supply chains and conducting carbon footprint assessments. Additionally, it encourages the development of green leasing services, alongside broader adoption of shared mobility, shared spaces and shared goods, to promote more efficient use of resources.
The initiative also emphasizes deeper integration of artificial intelligence with green consumption, thereby supporting the development of smart products and application scenarios.
