the first ecological project mortgage loan in our city was issued (topic)
chongqing daily news (new chongqing-chongqing daily reporter luo yun) ecological projects can also get financing! on september 14, the reporter learned from the relevant departments of kaizhou district that shengshan botanical garden in kaizhou district, chongqing city, received the first gep pledge loan in the city, with the first loan amount of 1 million yuan. this is a useful attempt for our city to practice the transformation of green mountains and clear waters into gold and silver mountains.
gep, or gross ecosystem product, refers to the sum of the value of various final material products and services provided by the ecosystem for human well-being and sustainable economic and social development. it mainly includes the value of ecological material products, ecological regulation services, and ecological cultural services.
"the gep pledge loan is a green financial product that uses the ecological values of ecological products such as supply services, regulation services and human settlement cultural services as collateral." the relevant person in charge of the chongqing bank who was responsible for handling the gep pledge loan introduced that this special "green financial product" reflects the financial value of ecological products such as forest products, water conservation, water purification, carbon fixation and oxygen release, atmosphere purification, and ecological culture.
"in the past, it was difficult to finance ecological projects, mainly because it was difficult to evaluate ecological assets and apply the evaluation results," said the head of the relevant department of kaizhou district. last year, our city actively promoted the pilot work of the ecological product value realization mechanism and formulated the "chongqing ecosystem gross product (gep) accounting technical guide (trial)", which provided the possibility for the realization of ecological product value. on this basis, the municipal ecological environment science research institute calculated the gep of shengshan botanical garden in kaizhou district, chongqing in 2023, and estimated it to be 18.09 million yuan.
the valuation result of shengshan botanical garden's gep attracted the attention of kaizhou branch of chongqing bank. the bank organized teams to conduct field investigations many times, and found out the "ecological assets" and operation status of shengshan botanical garden. it used the gep of the botanical garden as collateral and issued a first-phase loan of 1 million yuan. according to the relevant person in charge of the botanical garden, the loan funds will be used to enrich the vegetation types and further improve the ecological benefits of the botanical garden.
"this green financial product has helped us revitalize our ecological treasures and provided a useful attempt to transform ecological value from 'green' to 'gold'." a relevant person in charge of kaizhou district said that green financial products will help promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and at the same time will further strengthen their confidence and determination to follow the path of ecological priority and green development.
it is understood that shengshan botanical garden in kaizhou district, chongqing is an aaa-level scenic spot, covering an area of more than 600 acres. it has 18 specialized gardens such as the crape myrtle garden and the rose garden, cultivating nearly 10,000 varieties of flowers and seedlings, and has cultural landscapes and service facilities such as the farming culture museum. in recent years, due to the integration of good ecology into the unique local culture, this lush botanical garden has become a popular "check-in spot" in the local area.
