A series of interpretations of "Ecological environment zoning management and control has a 'construction map'"
Strengthen ecological and environmental zoning management and control, and paint a beautiful "meticulous painting" of China
Comprehensively promote zoning management and control of the ecological environment, promote high-quality economic and social development, and implement high-level protection of the ecological environment... Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Strengthening Zoning Management and Control of the Ecological Environment" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions" ). The "Opinions" propose to strengthen zoning management and control of the ecological environment, promote high-quality development and create high-quality life with high-level protection, and strive to build a beautiful China where man and nature coexist harmoniously.
Industry insiders said that the issuance of opinions on strengthening ecological environment zoning control is of great significance to improving the level of ecological environment management and promoting the realization of the goal of Beautiful China, and it comes at the right time.
Scientific pollution control
promotes zoning and classification management and control strategies
At present, the structural pressure on my country's ecological and environmental protection is still great, the foundation for improving the ecological environment is not yet solid, and the task of protecting the ecological environment remains arduous.
Wang Yanan, deputy director of the Environmental Engineering Assessment Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said in an interview with a reporter from People's Daily Online that zoning control of the ecological environment is an urgent need to achieve precise, scientific and legal pollution control. Through scientific, refined and intelligent means and the implementation of differentiated management and control according to different regional characteristics, ecological protection and pollution prevention can be carried out in a more scientific, systematic and precise manner, and the level of ecological environment management can be improved.
"Ecological environment zoning management and control is based on the logic of 'problem identification - quality target - zoning control - access list', and establishes a zoning classification management and control strategy from problem identification to solutions to help precise and scientific pollution control." Wang Yanan said that through environmental assessment, Focusing on areas with high pressure to improve the quality of the ecological environment, high resource and energy consumption intensity, concentrated pollutant emissions, serious ecological damage, and high environmental risks, identify areas with prominent conflicts between development and protection, connect administrative boundaries, and determine them as ecological environments Key management and control units strengthen pollutant emission control and environmental risk prevention and control.
Wang Yanan said that ecological and environmental zoning management and control focus on solving prominent ecological and environmental problems and formulate targeted solutions. "Targeted integration of zoning control requirements for relevant elements and current ecological environment management requirements, proposing specific measures to optimize spatial layout, improve resource utilization efficiency, strengthen pollutant emission control and environmental risk prevention and control, and implement 'one unit, one strategy' according to local conditions 'Refined management.'
Comprehensive demarcation and differentiation of ecological environment management and control units
The "Opinions" divide ecological environment zoning management and control into three types of areas: priority protection units, key control units and general control units.
Wang Yanan believes that the standards, key technologies and operating procedures of the zoning have achieved standardized management and ensured the coordination and unification of technical achievements in various provinces and cities.
"The priority protection units make full use of the results of the ecological protection red line, and superimpose other important areas with ecological functions that are clearly required to be protected by laws and regulations beyond the red line, such as drinking water source protection areas, important wetlands, first-class ambient air quality functional areas, etc." Wang Yanan said, Based on the environmental quality improvement goals and resource constraints of different planning periods, key management and control units analyze the pollutant emissions and environmental quality situation in the region, and identify the high pressure for environmental quality improvement, high resource and energy consumption intensity, concentrated pollutant emissions, and ecological damage. Focus on areas with outstanding environmental risks and high environmental risks.
“On this basis, by connecting the ecological environment characteristics and management requirements, economic and social characteristics, administrative boundaries and management needs, comprehensively delineate ecological protection red lines and general ecological spaces, water environment priority protection areas, atmospheric environment priority protection areas, etc. as priority Protection units." Liu Yi, a professor at the School of Environment at Tsinghua University, suggested, "Design towns and industrial parks with poor meteorological and hydrological conditions, concentrated pollution emissions, excessive environmental quality, and greater environmental risks as key management and control units, and other areas should be designated as key management and control units. It is a general control unit.”
Liu Yi said that after the preliminary division is completed, the area and proportion of priority protection and key management and control zones in the ecological environment management and control units and element zones, as well as the area and proportion of control units at different spatial scales such as provinces and cities, must be carried out top-down and bottom-up. Multiple rounds of review and feedback.
Dynamic
control
Implement ecological protection red line management and control
"On the basis of fully respecting the laws of nature and regional differences, we should adhere to ecological priority and demarcate the areas that should be protected." Wang Yanan said that a differentiated ecological environment access list has been compiled for each priority protection unit and the "one "Unit One Strategy" management, ensuring ecological functions and guarding the boundaries of natural ecological security.
Wang Yanan believes that in order to achieve precise control, an update and adjustment mechanism should be established based on the "Opinions" to improve the timeliness and pertinence of the results. For ecological protection red lines, nature reserves, etc. that are adjusted in accordance with laws and regulations, priority protection units will be updated simultaneously to ensure the accuracy of unit boundaries.
"Based on the latest policy documents and the problems and needs discovered in follow-up assessments, we will dynamically update the management and control requirements for different ecological functional attribute spaces of priority protection units to improve the pertinence of the access list." Wang Yanan added.
Liu Yi suggested that the establishment of a technical framework and application mechanism for annual tracking and five-year evaluation should be accelerated, and the evaluation process, evaluation indicators and management procedures for the tracking and evaluation of ecological environment zoning management and control plans should be standardized. "Clear the general situation, technical principles and technical specification requirements for dynamic updates and regular adjustments of ecological environment zoning control, improve relevant management procedures and review mechanisms, and maintain the vitality of the ecological environment zoning control system."
