The work of energy saving and emission reduction has made considerable progress in 2008. Compared with 2005，the energy consumption per unit of GDP will reduce around 7.84 by the end of 2008 with annual rate of decline of 2.68%. It indicates that to complete the goal of reducing the energy consumption per unit of GDP than that in 2005 by 20%，which was proposed in the Eleventh Five-year Plan，the rate of decline needs to be raised to 6.83%，a tough job. It also forecasts the future work on energy saving and emission reduction，pointing out that to complete the goal of reduction by 10% in 2010 than 2005，the annual rate of decline in 2009 and 2010 must reach 2.72%. In the case that the economic growth keeps a rate at least 9%，the pressure will be considerable. We should not neglect energy saving and emission reduction while keep the economic growth：make expediting the development of the environmental protection industry become the driving force for economic growth，correctly treat the relationship between price rise and economic growth and environmental protection，and establish the long-acting mechanism for energy saving and emission reduction.
