Notes: a The department structure optimization sub-scenario means the adjustment of the industrial structure and an additional increase in the consumption proportion of catering, accommodation, shopping and sightseeing. b The clean energy substitution sub-scenario refers to the increase of clean energy consumption in total energy resources. Examples include vigorously promoting new energy vehicles along with promoting solar, wind, geothermal, natural gas and other clean energy heating and lighting applications as well as the shift of power generation and heat supply from coal to wind, solar and other renewable energy sources. c The energy saving facilities sub-scenario means the energy saving transformation of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, refrigeration and other systems; the increase in the proportion of electronic tickets; a reduction of paper tickets; the limit of the use of disposable items and the reduction of resource waste. d The low carbon behavior sub-scenario promotes green tourism and chooses low carbon travel methods such as walking, cycling and public transportation and reduces the use of disposable daily necessities.
