有的地方明知上马"两高"项目违反相关规定，但在项目审批时却流于形式、默许纵容，或在监管执法时 偏宽松软，其根源就在于一些地方党委政府和有关部门没有完整、准确、全面贯彻新发展理念，把高质 量发展当做口号，仍然指望"两高"项目在短期内发挥出拉动经济的作用；一些地方在思想认识层面对经 济社会发展全面绿色转型、"双碳"目标任务的理解不深入，误解了碳达峰的真正含义；还有一些地方 对"两高"项目的监管缺乏韧劲和办法。从长期来看，"两高"项目盲目上马依然是对高耗能、高排放粗放 型发展方式的路径依赖，会加剧我国的碳排放压力，这与当前我国实现高质量发展和"双碳"目标的要求 是相背离的。 当前，我国已经进入高质量发展阶段，要实现高质量发展，一个关键环节就是要推动经济社会发展全面 绿色低碳转型。这不仅要求要发展新质生产力，促进新兴产业发展，还要推动传统产业深度转型，从而 提高经济社会发展的"含金量""含绿量"。在这一经济社会发展大趋势面前，以大量消耗资源能源为基础 的粗放型增长模式已经没有了生存的空间。加之当前决战决胜"十四五"、全面谋划"十五五"进入重要阶 段，距离"力争 2030年前二氧化碳排放达到峰值"的目标实现仅剩5年时间 ...
