June 5th is World Environment Day.

The theme of the 2022 World Environment Day released by the United Nations Environment Programme is "Only One Earth", and the theme of my country's June 5th Environment Day released by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment is "Building a Clean and Beautiful World Together".

Different expressions convey the same idea: the beautiful earth home needs us to protect together.

  The earth is the common home of mankind, and protecting the ecological environment is a common challenge faced by all mankind.

Whether it is the impact of climate warming on the global ecological environment, or air pollution and water pollution becoming global problems, relevant cases tell us: "The world is hot and cold at the same time."

Faced with the challenges of the ecological environment, no country can become an island with beautiful scenery, and no nation can stay out of it.

As a responsible major country, China has always been committed to the cause of ecological and environmental protection.

Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has actively participated in global environmental governance and has become an important participant, contributor and leader in the construction of global ecological civilization.

  China's "green miracle" itself is an important part of the global "green action".

As a big country with a land area of ​​more than 9.6 million square kilometers and a population of more than 1.4 billion, China's efforts in environmental protection and green development will have a worldwide impact.

From contributing about 1/4 of the newly added green area, to building the world's largest clean power generation system, to the overall continuous improvement of seawater quality and the overall reduction of the concentration of major air pollutants, the tangible achievements have written a vivid footnote for Beautiful China. It has also set up a "green model" for the beautiful world.

  China's actions, China's wisdom, and China's propositions light up the light of hope for the world and the construction of a global ecological civilization.

In recent years, it has promoted the establishment of the "One Belt, One Road" cooperation mechanism for combating desertification, supported biodiversity conservation in developing countries, actively fulfilled the "two-carbon" commitment, and no longer builds overseas coal power projects... China has actively participated in international cooperation in various fields to provide The global provision of public goods vividly demonstrates the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind and enhances the confidence of the international community in jointly addressing environmental issues.

In addition, China also provides valuable experience for global ecological environment governance.

The green technologies adopted in the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Kubuqi desert control reflect the development idea of ​​"green wealth and prosperity", all of which provide methods and inspirations for those countries and regions facing ecological environmental challenges.

  Fifty years ago, the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm put forward the slogan "There is only one Earth"; today, this proposal is not only not outdated, but also more urgent.

Pollution causes about 9 million premature deaths every year, more than 1 million species of animals and plants are at risk of extinction, and global warming will rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius around 2040 or even earlier, according to the report "Peace with Nature" released by the United Nations Environment Programme. The numbers are staggering, and ecological protection has never been more urgent than it is today.

The fundamental improvement of the ecological environment requires long-term efforts from all countries, and requires everyone to act.

In China, the actions of planting and protecting green, garbage sorting, and "CD-ROM" have gradually become fashionable, and green development has become a consensus.

This also shows that making green the way of production in various countries and the way of life for everyone is the fundamental way out for ecological protection.

  Not long ago, President Xi Jinping replied to a letter to elementary school students at Francis Holland School in the United Kingdom on the issue of climate change and pointed out: "The earth is a big family, human beings are a community, and climate change is a common challenge faced by all human beings, and human beings must cooperate to deal with it." Changes, pollution prevention and protection of biodiversity, all countries can help each other and help each other in order to leave a clean and beautiful world for future generations and sow a green and clean future for the earth.
