What are the two binding objectives of the 11th Five-Year Plan?

The two binding targets of the 11th Five-Year Plan are that the energy consumption per unit of GDP will be reduced by 20% compared with the end of the 10th Five-Year Plan, and the total discharge of major pollutants will be reduced by 10%. The proposal of binding indicators reflects the determination of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to fully implement Scientific Outlook on Development, which is an important pioneering work of China's macro-management mode and a major deployment made by the central government for building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.

Extended data:

The current indicators of China's development planning include expected indicators and binding indicators. The so-called binding indicators reflect the responsibility of the government and have the nature of the government's commitment to the people. Take binding indicators as hard indicators for assessment. First of all, to improve the status of binding indicators in the assessment system, binding indicators should be the focus of assessment. Secondly, pay close attention to the decomposition and implementation of binding indicators.

Third, improve the supervision and incentive mechanism of binding indicators assessment, establish a system of statistics, monitoring and publication of binding indicators, formulate scientific assessment standards and supervision measures, and establish a reward and punishment system to effectively bring economic and social development into the track of people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development.
