With our country's vigorous promotion of the 'dual carbon' strategy, more and more graduates of the School of Environment of Tsinghua University choose to engage in environmental protection related work in energy, construction, finance and other industries and international organizations, broadening employment channels. ”

    Vigorously promoting the development of the environmental protection industry is not only the need to strengthen ecological environmental protection and fight the battle of pollution prevention and control, but also play an important role in stabilizing the economy and employment. What are the prospects of the environmental protection industry and what talents are needed? During the interview, these questions gradually became clear.

    ; The coexistence of "danger" and "opportunity" forces environmental protection enterprises to find breakthroughs

    This is the era with the most opportunities and the greatest pressure. An environmental protection industry insider said frankly.

    The reason why there are the most opportunities is because with the advancement of the construction of a beautiful China, the value of ecological products has been more and more recognized by the society, and our country's environmental protection industry is growing against the wind, riding the wind, stirring up strong green momentum. Industrial restructuring, energy structure optimization, energy conservation and carbon reduction technology progress, green consumption upgrading, etc. have created broad market prospects, and the environmental protection industry has developed into a new engine of green growth in various places.

    The layout of our country's environmental protection industry is becoming more and more perfect, the environmental protection industry in the eastern coastal area continues to deepen, the environmental protection industry in many provinces and cities in the central region is rising rapidly, and the environmental protection industry in the southwest, northwest and other regions is catching up rapidly. The development of environmental protection industries in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Chengdu-Chongqing and other regions that are highly related to the national regional development strategy shows a trend of accelerated regional integration, integration and efficiency. Guo Chengzhan, president of the China Environmental Protection Industry Association, told reporters.

    The greatest pressure means that the structure of our country's environmental protection industry has not been fundamentally changed, and the comprehensive strength is still not strong.

    According to statistics, more than 90% of our country's environmental protection enterprises are small and micro enterprises, with low industrial concentration, few large-scale and strong leading enterprises, and have not yet formed a brand with global influence, and are still in the policy-driven and capital-driven stage, and the driving force of technological innovation is still insufficient.

    The problems in our country's environmental protection industry force enterprises to find breakthroughs and resolve the difficulties faced by development. Guo Chengzhan believes that the environmental protection industry should continue to carry out cutting-edge leading technologies and common key technology research, and improve the technological innovation system with enterprises as the main body and market-oriented.

    In the future, our country's environmental protection industry division of labor will be more specialized and refined, and large enterprises with strong comprehensive business capabilities and strong funds can develop into platform-based enterprises, and provide comprehensive solutions for regional environmental governance with technological innovation achievement clusters. The innovation synergy formed by the convergence of the two will effectively promote the environmental protection industry to become bigger and stronger, and better serve the needs of our country's high-quality development. Guo Chengzhan said.

    The industry calls for more innovative talents

    Since 2021, the Party Central Committee, the State Council and various ministries and commissions have issued more than 40 plans and plans related to the ecological and environmental protection industry, further establishing and depicting the blueprint and roadmap for the development of ecological environmental protection and environmental protection industry in the new era and new stage.

    The environmental protection industry has become the main force in fighting the battle of pollution prevention and control, a new force in the construction of ecological civilization, and the backbone of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

    At present, the environmental protection industry is moving towards a new stage of high-quality development, and it is urgent to rely on innovation to cultivate new impetus for development.

    Taking the enterprises participating in this theme event as an example, Aerospace Hongtu Information Technology Co., Ltd. is a leading satellite operation and application service provider in China and the first batch of listed companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and has realized the localization of remote sensing basic software. Among the current 2,700 employees, there are more than 100 doctors/postdoctoral fellows and more than 200 experts in various fields.

    Shenzhen Energy and Environmental Protection Company is a national high-tech enterprise, and it is also one of the first batch of 204 "science and technology reform demonstration enterprises" announced by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and its projects have won the National Quality Engineering Gold Award and the Paulson Sustainable Development Annual Award.

    The development choices and talent pools of many environmental protection enterprises reflect the development trend of the entire industry. From 2011 to 2020, the total number of patent applications for environmental technology inventions in our country was close to 60% of the total number of applications in the world, and it is one of the countries in the world that is actively deploying environmental technology innovation.

    The sycamore tree has deep roots and lush leaves, so it naturally needs to constantly call for phoenixes to roost.

    Bai Songtao, the human resources center of Aerospace Hongtu Information Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters: "The company continues to improve its independent innovation ability and core competitiveness, and needs outstanding high-end talents to join in geographical spatio-temporal big data, smart cities, UAV technology research, etc. ”

    Fang Mushan, a representative of Shenzhen Energy, also said that the company has an excellent corporate culture and good salary and benefits, pays attention to attracting and retaining talents, builds a performance-oriented salary incentive and restraint mechanism, and strengthens incremental salary incentives to innovative talents and core employees who bring value growth to the company.

    Schools and enterprises work together to help stabilize employment and the economy

    In 2022, the number of college graduates in our country will exceed 10 million for the first time, and the employment situation is grim. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have issued a series of policies and measures to stabilize employment.

    From the issuance of the "Notice on Further Doing a Good Job in the Employment and Entrepreneurship of College Graduates and Other Young People" to the State Council to hold a national video and telephone conference on stabilizing the economic market; From the deployment of 33 policies and measures to accelerate economic stabilization in 6 aspects at the executive meeting of the State Council to the issuance of the "Notice on Giving Full Play to the Role of Industry Associations and Chambers of Commerce and Actively Contributing to the Stabilization of the Economic Market in the Country", "stabilizing employment" as the first of the "six stability" has not diminished.

    Employment is connected to the general economic trend at one end and thousands of students at the other. Since the "14th Five-Year Plan", the two-way interaction between talents and enterprises in the environmental protection industry has formed a virtuous circle, science and technology have strengthened the industry, and the talent industry has effectively supported the high-quality economic development and high-level ecological protection, and has become a sunrise industry that promotes green and low-carbon circular development.

    The prosperity of the industry has accumulated strong green development momentum and new development space, so that enterprises have the rigid demand to continue to introduce high-quality "seeds", and do a good job in talent reserve for continuing to become bigger and stronger.

    Aerospace Hongtu plans to recruit more than 600 college students in 2022, Pony Test plans to recruit more than 500 people, Spotlight Technology plans to recruit more than 300 college students, and the job recruitment plans of Xuedilong, Dongshen Electronics, Zhongke Optoelectronics, and Keliyuan are also being released one after another......

    It is incumbent on environmental protection enterprises to provide more jobs suitable for college graduates and absorb the employment of college graduates.

    According to data from the China Environmental Protection Industry Association, since last year, local associations in Beijing, Hebei, Liaoning, Shandong, Anhui, Guangdong, Chongqing and other local universities have jointly built ecological and environmental protection industry education and training bases, absorbing more than 100,000 university graduates.

    Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have brought huge green investment and consumer demand, and the market is still very optimistic about the environmental protection industry in the past and future.

    According to the "2021 China Environmental Protection Industry Development Report", during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, our country's environmental governance revenue growth rate remained above 13%. In 2020, the total revenue of the national environmental protection industry reached 1.95 trillion yuan, an increase of about 7.3% over 2019. In 2020, our country's environmental protection industry employees reached 3.2 million, accounting for 0.43% of the total number of employed people in the country, an increase of 0.31 percentage points over 2011.

    In addition, the environmental protection industry has not only focused on terminal governance, but has been integrated into the economic system of green and low-carbon circular development, accelerating the integration and development of clean energy, clean production and other industries, while accelerating its own low-carbon transformation, expanding the scope of services to clean energy, carbon emission reduction and other fields, and building a green and low-carbon technology industry support system to move towards higher quality and sustainable development.
