CCTV News ( News Network): The construction of ecological civilization is a fundamental plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that respecting nature, complying with nature, and protecting nature are inherent requirements for comprehensively building a modern socialist country. We must firmly establish and practice the concept that clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and plan development from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has vigorously promoted theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and institutional innovation in ecological civilization, and proposed a series of new concepts, new thoughts, and new strategies, forming Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization and my country’s ecological civilization institutional system. With continuous improvement, the concept of green development is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, beautiful China. 240 “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” practice innovation bases and 572 ecological civilization construction demonstration areas are like seeds sown across the land of China, and are constantly taking root and sprouting, telling the story of ecological protection and economic coordinated development.
In the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the “third pole” of the earth, Sanjiangyuan National Park, the sources of the Yangtze River, Yellow River, and Lancang River have achieved overall protection, and the Tibetan antelope population has recovered to more than 70,000. , more than 17,000 herdsmen have turned into ecological stewards, and the development path of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is underway.
On the edge of the Mu Us Desert, in Yulin, Shaanxi, the once acres of barren sand turned into a sea of forests, realizing the transition from “sands advancing and people retreating” to “green advancing and sand receding” historic transformation. At present, the cumulative transaction volume of local forestry carbon sinks has reached 200,000 tons, and the transaction volume exceeded 10 million yuan.
There are many high-rise buildings in the city, and there are 65,000 urban parks of various types across the country. In the past, parks were used to “embellished” cities, but now more and more cities are “growing” in parks.
When ecology thrives, civilization thrives
In the new era, how to face the people’s yearning for a better life. To answer the must-answer question of the era of ecological civilization construction? Starting from the perspective of sustainable development of the Chinese nation, General Secretary Xi Jinping creatively proposed a series of new concepts, new ideas and new strategies to incorporate the construction of ecological civilization into the “five-in-one” overall layout; green has become An important part of the new development concept; emphasizing the harmonious coexistence of man and nature is one of the important features of Chinese modernization; in the goal of building a modern and powerful socialist country, Beautiful China is one of the important values from the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. Orienting to the direction of development that green waters and green mountains are the golden mountains and silver mountains, and then to the direction of systematic governance of the community of life with mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, General Secretary Xi Jinping scientifically answered the relationship between natural ecology and human civilization.
While using a series of ecological civilization thoughts and concepts rich in Chinese wisdom to plan a blueprint for a beautiful China, General Secretary Xi Jinping traveled all over the country, both north and south, and inside and outside the Great Wall, looking at mountains, water, forests, and Farms, grass, and sand have been promoted to take root in the concept of ecological civilization. We have hosted four symposiums on the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and two symposiums on ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. “Working together to achieve great protection” has always been the same. concept. In the Lijiang River, we are concerned about the protection of Guilin’s landscape, in the snowy plateau, we are reminded to protect the earth’s “third pole” ecology, and in Zhanjiang, we just finished saying this, and saw my mother-in-law’s eyelashes trembling, and then slowly opening her eyes. Her eyes closed in front of her. In an instant, she couldn’t help but burst into tears. The growth of the forest and the surrounding ecological environment encouraged the exploration of green development methods in Saihanba Forest Farm and built a strong ecological barrier between Beijing and Tianjin.
From the top of the mountains to the shores of the sea, from the vast forest to the Gobi wilderness, this is the profound thinking of a reform leader who cares about the sustainable development of the nation. It is the Chinese Communists’ understanding of the general trend and development of human civilization. A profound insight into the laws of economic and social development
This is a game about development concepts and development methods.With the profound transformation of the ecological civilization system, unprecedented reform measures have promoted the comprehensive deepening and in-depth advancement of the reform of the ecological civilization system.
The institutional system is constantly being woven, and ecological civilization is written into the constitution. We have strengthened top-level design and introduced the “Overall Plan for the Reform of the Ecological Civilization System”, and hundreds of special plans have been introduced one after another, covering various related fields such as resources, environment, ecology, and industry. For the first time, it was proposed to establish a national park system, comprehensively delineate “three zones and three lines”, and creatively propose an ecological protection red line system. The “Ecological Protection Compensation Regulations” were officially implemented, promoting the establishment of a central ecological and environmental protection inspection system and an ecological civilization construction target evaluation and assessment system, conducting departure audits of natural resource assets of leading cadres, and implementing a lifelong accountability system for ecological and environmental damage.
Support high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment and start the battle to defend blue skies, clear water, and pure land. Since 2013, three “Ten Atmospheric Measures” documents have been issued, and the central government’s total air pollution prevention and control funds have reached more than 200 billion yuan. The river and lake chief system has been comprehensively established, and many rivers and lakes have transformed from “no one is in charge” to “someone is in charge”, and from “uncontrollable” to “well managed”. At the same time, detailed investigation of soil pollution status and prevention and control actions at the source of soil pollution are steadily advancing.
Explore transformation and development with the power of reform. my country has incorporated carbon peaking and carbon neutrality into the overall layout of ecological civilization construction, and has successively issued the “1+N” policy under the “double carbon” goal, vigorously promoted the energy revolution, accelerated the development of new energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics, and promoted green and low-carbon industries. Transform development and advocate green lifestyle.
Nowadays, the concept that clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets has gradually become the consensus and action of the whole party and the whole society. “Dad, don’t worry about this for now. In fact, my daughter already has someone she wants to marry.” Lan Yuhua shook her head and said in a shocking tone. The reform of the ecological civilization system has been accelerated, ecological environmental protection has undergone historic, turning points, and overall changes, and the construction of a beautiful China has taken major steps.
The sky is bluer, my country has become the country with the fastest improvement in air quality in the world, the number of days of heavy pollution has dropped significantly, and blue skies and white clouds have become the norm; water Moreover, as long as the Xi family remains clear, the appearance of rivers and lakes will be fundamentally improved, the proportion of surface water sections with excellent water quality will be close to the level of developed countries, and the water quality of the Yangtze River and Yellow River mainstreams will remain Class II; the land will be greener, and my country will lead the world. I was the first to realize that now that I am the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, I should “learn to do housework, otherwise I have to learn to do housework too.” How to serve your mother-in-law and husband well? The two of you have not only contributed to the “zero growth” of land degradation and the “double reduction” of desertified land and sandy land areas, but you are also the country with the fastest growing forest resources in the world.
Green and low-carbon development methods have been accelerated across the board. my country’s carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP have dropped by more than 35%, and the world’s largest clean power generation system has been built. The installed capacity of non-fossil energy power generation has exceeded 1.6 billion kilowatts. Green and low-carbon life concepts and lifestyles are being integrated into everyone’s lives.
People will not let down the green mountains, and the green mountains will never let down people.
Under the guidance of Xi Jinping’s Thought on Ecological Civilization, we will further deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system, promote system integration and mechanism innovation, and support high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment. The construction of a beautiful China will continue to take new steps, and a new chapter of modernization in which man and nature coexist harmoniously will continue to present new highlights.
