We will fully implement the outline of thenational medium- and long-term plan for education andpromote balanced development of education atdifferent levels and of various types. We will ensureequitable education for all, promote well-roundeddevelopment of people, train innovation-orientedtalents, and advance education in a scientific manner.And we will move faster to make China not only a bigcountry but also a strong country in both education andhuman resources. This will provide strong intellectualimpetus for sustaining China's economic development.China will continue to build an innovation-driven society,speed up the development of an innovation system, andenhance the role of science and technology in drivingeconomic and social development.R&D is crucial inguiding our efforts to accelerate the change of growthmodel. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, we willgive greater priority to R&D, deepen reform of scienceand technology institutions, and address the root causesof R&D not fully meeting the need of economicdevelopment. We will increase input in science andtechnology and raise the share of budget for R&D in GDPfrom 1.75 per cent to 2.2 per cent. We will follow closelythe latest progress in overseas frontier technologies,strengthen basic research and the research of hightechnologies of strategic importance, and pool resourcesto make breakthroughs in developing core technologies.We will enhance capacity to create, utilise, protect andmanage intellectual property rights and bring into playthe creativity of the whole society. We will accelerate theupgrading of traditional industries by using newtechnologies, materials, techniques and equipment. Wewill develop strategic emerging industries, with a focusat this stage on industries related to energy conservation,environmental protection, new-generation informationtechnology, biotechnology, high-end equipmentmanufacturing, new energy, new materials and newenergy vehicles. Our goal is to develop new pillarindustries so as to gain initiative for development in thenew scientific revolution and industrial revolution." "WE WILL RAISETHE SHARE OFNON-FOSSIL ENERGY IN PRIMARY ENERGYCONSUMPTION TO11.4 PER CENT

China will continue to save resources and protect theenvironment, follow the path of green, low-carbon andsustainable development, use resources in a moreefficient way, and develop stronger capacity fortackling climate change.To conserve resources andprotect the environment is crucial to achievingsustainable development, and this is one of China'sbasic state policies. We will speed up the building ofan industrial structure, a mode of production and amodel of consumption that are conducive to resourceconservation and environmental protection, andpromote harmony between man and nature. During the12th Five-Year Plan period, we will raise the share ofnon-fossil energy in primary energy consumption to11.4 per cent, reduce energy consumption and C02emission per unit of GDP by 16 per cent and 17 percent respectively, and cut total discharge of majorpollutants by 8-10 per cent. We will improve laws,regulations and standards, strengthen performance-based accountability, overhaul the pricing mechanismfor energy and resources and increase fiscal, taxation,financial and other policy incentives. We will promotecircular economy, develop low-carbon industrial,construction and transportation systems, promoteenergy, water, land and material conservation andintegrated resource utilisation, preserve and repair theeco-system, increase forest carbon sink, and buildstronger capacity for tackling climate change.China will continue to put people's interests first, paymore attention to ensuring and improving people'swell-being and pursue common prosperity.Everythingwe do is to enable all the people to have better lives,and this is the criterion to measure the performance ofall of our work. Our goal is to bring the benefit ofdevelopment to all, ensure and improve people's well-being, and advance social progress in all respects. Wewill give priority to job creation in promoting economicand social development and create equitable job opportunities for all. We will adjust incomedistribution, ensure that personal income grows in stepwith economic growth and that labour remunerationgrows in step with increase of productivity. We willgradually raise the share of personal income in nationalincome distribution and the share of labourremuneration in primary distribution. We expect thatper capita urban disposable income and per capitarural net income will both grow by more than 7 per centannually. We will put in place systems providing basicold-age care and basic medical and health care for thewhole urban and rural population, and extend thecoverage of government-subsidised housing to 20 percent of the urban population.China will continue to deepen reform and opening-upand resolutely remove institutional hurdles to increasethe momentum of pursuing sustainable development.China owes its rapid development in the past 30 yearsand more to reform and opening-up, and this will beequally true for its future development and progress.We will continue to advance both economic and128G20 MEMBER COUNTRIESPhoto: UN Photo/Mark Garten
