Ecological and environmental protection work in the contemporary, benefit in the future. In the first year of the full implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the critical moment for my country to embark on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, in July this year, the Party Central Committee held the National Ecological Environment Protection Conference again after five years. Attendance at the meeting and an important speech fully demonstrated that the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core attaches great importance to ecological environmental protection work.
1. In-depth study and understanding of the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, arm the mind, guide practice, and promote work with the party's innovative theory
General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, with a strategically advantageous position, profound thinking, and rich connotation, is a Marxist programmatic document, a further innovation, enrichment, and development of Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization, and provides a fundamental basis for the new journey.
The "four major changes" comprehensively summarizes the great achievements of China's ecological civilization construction in the new era. The "Four Major Changes" originated from the great practice of the new era for ten years. From the perspective of the combination of theory and practice, the connection of history and reality, and the connection between domestic and international, it comprehensively summarizes and systematically demonstrates the achievements of my country's new era of ecological civilization construction. The great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention are highly condensed results of theoretical innovation, institutional innovation, and practical innovation of ecological civilization in the new era, it fully demonstrates the truth power and practical power of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought. We must strengthen our confidence and determination, continue to advance courageously in the direction guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping, and promote the construction of ecological civilization to continuously make new and greater achievements.
The "five major relationships" creatively enriched and developed the regular understanding of the construction of ecological civilization. The "five major relations" are both a summary of practice and a theoretical summary, which contains rich values and methodology, is full of incisive principles and philosophy, and shines with the wisdom of Marxist materialist dialectics. it is the concentrated embodiment of Xi Jinping's new creation, new development and new achievements in Xi Jinping's thought of ecological civilization, and marks that our party has further deepened and expanded its regular understanding of the construction of ecological civilization. We must firmly grasp its rich connotation and practical requirements, adhere to and make good use of the standpoints and methods that run through it, and plan and promote the work of ecological and environmental protection with a higher position, a wider field of vision, and greater efforts.
The "six major tasks" systematically deployed the strategic tasks and major measures for the construction of a beautiful China. The next five years will be an important period for the construction of a beautiful China. It is necessary to continue to fight pollution prevention and control, accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of the development mode, focus on improving the diversity, stability, and sustainability of the ecosystem, and actively and steadily promote carbon peaks and carbon neutrality., Keep the bottom line of building a beautiful China, and improve the guarantee system for building a beautiful China. This is a major strategic arrangement aimed at the goal of building a beautiful China in the next five years and by 2035, and it is also a deepening of the party's 20 major deployments. We must conscientiously compare the standards and tables, make efforts to comprehensively grasp and implement them, and promote the construction of a beautiful China to become a reality step by step.
"A major requirement" emphasizes upholding and strengthening the party's overall leadership over the construction of a beautiful China. Building a beautiful China is an important goal of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and we must adhere to and strengthen the party's overall leadership. this profoundly clarifies the extreme importance of the party's leadership. The great practice of the new era has proved that the leadership of the party is the fundamental guarantee for the continuous success of the ecological and environmental protection cause, and it is also the fundamental to deal with all risks and challenges and overcome all difficulties and obstacles. We must unswervingly uphold and strengthen the party's overall leadership, give full play to the political advantages of the party's leadership, and constantly enhance political judgment, political understanding, and political execution, so as to ensure that the party Central Committee's decision-making and deployment are effective.
2. profoundly grasp the new situation and new challenges, and earnestly enhance the sense of responsibility and mission of building a beautiful China
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China's ecological civilization construction has undergone historic, turning and overall changes from theory to practice, which has become a remarkable symbol of historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the state in the new era. At the same time, we are also soberly aware that the construction of ecological civilization in China is still in a critical period of pressure superposition and heavy load. We must deeply grasp the new situation and constantly show new achievements in the new journey of building a beautiful China with the sense of responsibility of "always worrying.
From the perspective of green and high-quality development. In the past ten years, my country has supported an average annual economic growth rate of more than 6% with an average annual energy consumption growth rate of 3%, and the energy consumption intensity has dropped by 26.4, making it one of the countries with the fastest reduction in energy consumption intensity in the world. The installed capacity of renewable energy has historically exceeded the installed capacity of coal power, and the installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, solar power and biomass power generation ranks first in the world. However, the overall level of green development in China is not high enough, the foundation is still relatively weak, the characteristics of high energy consumption and high carbon emissions in the industrial structure are still obvious, and the phenomenon of blindly launching "two high and one low" projects still exists. We must properly handle the relationship between high-quality development and high-level protection, constantly shape new kinetic energy and new advantages of development through high-level environmental protection, and support high-quality development with high-quality ecological environment.
From the point of view of pollution prevention and control. Over the past decade, the average concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in cities at prefecture level and above has historically dropped to 29 μ g/m3, and the ratio of good days has reached 86.5, making it the country with the fastest improvement in air quality in the world. The proportion of fine surface water bodies in the country has reached 87.9 per cent, close to the level of developed countries. Soil environmental risks are effectively controlled. However, the turning point of ecological environment improvement from quantitative change to qualitative change has not yet arrived, the atmosphere has not yet got rid of the "meteorological influence type", and the overall management of water resources, water environment and water ecology is still in its infancy. We must correctly handle the relationship between key issues and coordinated governance, continue to fight pollution prevention and control in depth, and coordinate to promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth.
From the perspective of ecological protection and restoration. In the past ten years, my country has accumulated 1.02 billion mu of afforestation, and the forest coverage rate has reached 24.02. Artificial afforestation accounts for 1/4 of the world. 44 major projects for the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand have been implemented. The red line area of land ecological protection accounts for more than 30% of the land area, and the number of wild populations of more than 300 rare and endangered wild animals and plants has increased steadily. However, my country's ecological background is fragile, the overall level of ecosystem quality is still low, and formalism problems in ecological restoration such as "filling wetlands, creating waterscapes, and inserting sticks" still occur from time to time. It is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between natural restoration and artificial restoration, follow the laws of nature, adjust measures to local conditions, and implement policies in different regions, and increase ecological protection and restoration.
From the institutional rule of law. In the past ten years, my country has formulated and revised more than 30 relevant laws and regulations, forming a "1 N 4" ecological environmental protection legal system. To carry out two rounds of central ecological and environmental protection supervision has become a hard move to promote local Party committees, governments and relevant departments to implement the responsibility of ecological and environmental protection. However, the survey found that some local ecological environment supervision is superficial and inadequate, and some enterprises have weak legal awareness, and there are problems such as abnormal operation of pollution control facilities, excessive emissions, and falsification of monitoring data. We must correctly handle the relationship between external constraints and endogenous power, adhere to the strictest system and the strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment, and stimulate the endogenous power of the whole society to jointly protect the ecological environment.
From the perspective of global environmental governance. Over the past decade, China has promoted the entry into force and implementation of the Paris Agreement and made a solemn commitment to carbon neutrality. As the presidency, the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) was successfully held to promote the conclusion of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
Environmental governance has contributed to China's wisdom and strength. However, the current trend of politicization of global ecological and environmental issues has increased. Some Western countries have played the climate card and introduced carbon tariffs to transfer the responsibility for emission reduction to developing countries. We must correctly handle the relationship between the "double carbon" commitment and independent action, based on the actual national conditions, adhere to the principle of seeking progress in the midst of stability and gradual realization, actively participate in global climate governance, and strive for strategic initiative and a favorable international environment.
3. Resolutely shoulder political responsibilities and comprehensively promote the construction of a beautiful China
The blueprint has been drawn, and the key is implementation. We must follow the important speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping, fully implement the deployment of the conference, adhere to problem-oriented and goal-oriented, accelerate the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and strive to paint a new picture of beautiful China.
