Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization guides my country's ecological civilization construction to achieve historic achievements and historic changes
The construction of ecological civilization is a fundamental plan for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.
The Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China incorporated the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of the "five in one" of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
"As my country's economic and social development continues to deepen, the status and role of ecological civilization construction has become increasingly prominent." On November 17, 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when presiding over the first collective study of the 18th Politburo of the CPC Central Committee. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China included ecological civilization construction into the overall layout of socialism with Chinese characteristics, making the strategic position of ecological civilization construction more clear, and conducive to integrating ecological civilization construction into economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, and social construction in all aspects and the entire process. This is an important result of our party's continuous deepening of the law of socialist construction in practice and understanding."
In December 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during an inspection tour in Guangdong: “We owe too much in terms of the ecological environment. If we do not grasp this work tightly from now on, the price will be even greater in the future. We have no other choice on this issue."
At the beginning of the new year in 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a special trip to Gusheng Village, Wanqiao Town, Dali City during his inspection work in Yunnan to learn more about the ecological protection of the Erhai Lake wetland.
At the rippling Erhai Sea, the general secretary and local officials took a group photo and said: "I will keep the photos here and come back in a few years. I hope the water will be cleaner and clearer."
…………
The mountains and rivers of the motherland have witnessed General Secretary Xi Jinping's feelings for the construction of ecological civilization.
In the depths of the Qinling Mountains, the General Secretary inspected the natural ecology and urged the local area to be a good Qinling Ecological Guardian; during an inspection of the Qilian Mountains, the General Secretary requested that the Qilian Mountains be always green and green; Carrying out large-scale development"; Aershan forest area in Inner Mongolia, Heixiazi Island in Heilongjiang, Lijiang River in Guangxi... General Secretary Xi Jinping personally and continuously promotes the construction of a beautiful China, declaring the firm will of the Party Central Committee to promote the construction of ecological civilization.
On May 18, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the National Ecological Environmental Protection Conference, proposing the principles that must be adhered to to promote the construction of ecological civilization in the new era: "Insist on the harmonious coexistence of man and nature" "Green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" "A good ecological environment is the most inclusive people's livelihood and welfare", "Landscapes, forests, fields, lakes and grasses are the community of life", "Protect the ecological environment with the strictest system and the strictest rule of law", "Conspire to build a global ecological civilization"...
This conference formally established Xi Jinping's thought of ecological civilization.
Xi Jinping’s thought on ecological civilization profoundly answers major theoretical and practical questions such as “why to build an ecological civilization, what kind of ecological civilization to build, and how to build an ecological civilization”, and raises our party’s understanding of the laws of ecological civilization construction to a new height.
New ideas lead a new journey.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has made a series of major strategic deployments for the construction of ecological civilization.
In the “five-in-one” overall layout, the construction of ecological civilization is one of them. In the basic strategy of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, insisting on the harmonious coexistence of man and nature is one of them. In the new development concept, green is one of them. Philosophy, pollution prevention and control is one of the three tough battles.
The Yangtze River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, once suffered from environmental pollution and over-exploitation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping personally prescribed the pulse. On January 5, 2016, April 26, 2018, and November 14, 2020, the General Secretary hosted a symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in Chongqing, Wuhan, and Nanjing, and carried out in-depth promotion. The symposium on the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the symposium on comprehensively promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, promote pollution control, ecological restoration, and coordinated efforts in 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River. New way.
The water quality of the Yangtze River is getting better and better.
By the end of 2020, the mainstream of the Yangtze River will historically achieve Class II water quality across the entire line.
"The finless porpoise worships the breeze!" Yang Huaizhong, fish guard of the Guangling District Agriculture and Rural Bureau in the waters of Sanjiangying, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, was excited on the fishery law enforcement boat. A few dozen meters away from the boat, nearly 10 finless porpoises jumped out of the water. Old Yang sighed. : "Now finally I can see them swimming frequently again."
From deploying the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to “mainly protect and not develop”, to promote ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, from solving the problem of illegally building villas and destroying the ecology in the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi, to promoting a national park as the main body General Secretary Xi Jinping has a long-term view of the construction of the natural reserve system in China, and he is concerned about it, and he insists on advancing continuously.
Press the fast forward button for green development, the construction of ecological civilization has entered the fast lane, and a good ecological environment has become an important manifestation of building a well-off society in an all-round way.
Saihanba Forest Farm has created the miracle of turning wasteland into forests and seas, Anji, Zhejiang where the concept of green water and green mountains is the golden mountain and silver mountain is practiced, and the Kubuqi Desert where sand dunes are covered with green clothes and sand is turned into fertile land...One by one, China is promoting the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. Stories and vivid examples show the world a beautiful China that unswervingly follows the path of development of civilization, with production development, a wealth of life, and a sound ecological environment.
Resolutely fight the battle of pollution prevention and control, and strengthen the construction of ecological civilization with unprecedented determination and strength
A good ecological environment is the fairest public product and the most inclusive people's livelihood.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Developing the economy is for people's livelihood, and protecting the ecological environment is also for people's livelihood."
"We must use the reversal mechanism to take advantage of the situation and put the construction of ecological civilization in a more prominent position." On April 25, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when presiding over the 18th Politburo Standing Committee meeting of the CPC Central Committee. "We have to choose, what on earth do we want? Starting from the people's satisfaction or dissatisfaction, promise or disapproval, the ecological environment is very important; from the point of view of improving people's livelihood, this is also the most important point. We propose to change the economic development mode, and the common people's idea is also If they are consistent, why are they still wrestling? Therefore, I think it is necessary for the relevant parties to take a focused, intensive and effective environmental remediation action, and top-level design in this regard."
How to do the top-level design of ecological civilization?
In November 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions on the construction of ecological civilization: “It is necessary to deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system, establish the “four beams and eight pillars” of the ecological civilization system as soon as possible, and integrate the construction of ecological civilization into the institutionalization and rule of law. Orbit."
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of my country, through comprehensive deepening of reforms, China has accelerated the promotion of the top-level design of ecological civilization and the construction of the system system, and successively issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization" and the "Overall Plan for the Reform of Ecological Civilization System" and formulated more than 40 The reform plan involving the construction of ecological civilization, in terms of overall goals, basic concepts, main principles, key tasks, institutional guarantees, etc., make comprehensive and systematic arrangements for the construction of ecological civilization.

How to fight the battle against pollution?
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “A well-off society is not comprehensive, and the quality of the ecological environment is critical.” “The ecological environment, especially the air, water, and soil pollution, has become a prominent shortcoming in building a well-off society in an all-round way. Reversing environmental degradation and improving environmental quality are important The eager anticipation of the broad masses of people is an important task that must be highly valued and effectively promoted during the 13th Five-Year Plan period."
On December 10, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the Central Economic Work Conference: “We must increase environmental governance and ecological protection, investment, and policy efforts, strengthen the reduction of pollutants, especially the prevention and control of air pollution, and promote key industries. , Air pollution control in key areas, strengthen regional joint prevention and control, and truly implement the ten measures for air pollution prevention and control that have already been introduced. We must strengthen source control, strengthen ecological environment protection, promote system innovation, and strive to fundamentally reverse the deterioration of environmental quality ."
On April 30 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when presiding over the 29th collective study of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China: “We must in-depth fight pollution prevention and control and focus on solving prominent ecological and environmental problems around the people, so that the people can really feel it. To improve the quality of the ecological environment, we must adhere to precise, scientific, and legal pollution control, maintain strength, extend depth, and broaden scope, and continue to fight the battle of blue sky, clear water, and pure land."
"Environment is people's livelihood, green hills are beautiful, blue sky is also happiness." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has been increasing efforts to strengthen ecological civilization.
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China listed resolutely fighting the pollution prevention and control battle as one of the three major battles to decisively build a well-off society in an all-round way.
All regions and departments conscientiously implement the "party and government with the same responsibilities, one post and two responsibilities", layered responsibilities, and promoted the implementation of various decision-making arrangements.
The battle for pollution prevention and control has been steadily advanced, and the quality of the ecological environment has been significantly improved.
Once, the situation of air pollution in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas was severe, and haze was often harassed.
Overcome difficulties and defend the blue sky!
Beijing and its surrounding areas have stepped up efforts to prevent and control air pollution, "pull" one microgram and one microgram, fight day by day, and make hard work for every blue sky.
Last year, the average annual concentration of fine particulate matter in Beijing fell to 38 micrograms/cubic meter, a decrease of 57.5% from 2013; the number of days that air quality reached the standard increased to 276 days, an increase of 100 days from 2013.
How to protect the ecological environment?
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: "Ecology is a unified natural system, an organic chain of interdependence and close connection. The lifeline of man lies in the field, the lifeline of the field is in the water, the lifeline of the water is in the mountains, and the lifeline of the mountains is in the soil. The lifeblood lies in forests and grasses. This community of life is the material basis for human survival and development. We must calculate large accounts, long-term accounts, overall accounts, and comprehensive accounts. Sexual, long-term destruction."
On April 30 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when presiding over the 29th collective study of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee: “We must improve the quality and stability of the ecosystem, adhere to the system concept, and proceed from the integrity of the ecosystem to promote landscapes, forests, fields and lakes. Integrated protection and restoration of grass and sand, with more emphasis on comprehensive management, systematic management, and source management."
Major measures to promote the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, waters, forests, fields, lakes, and sands have been introduced one after another.
Establish a natural reserve system with national parks as the main body, formally establish the first batch of national parks such as Sanjiangyuan, giant pandas, Siberian tigers and leopards, Hainan tropical rainforest, Wuyishan, etc., with a protected area of 230,000 square kilometers; it is the first in the world to propose peace Implement the ecological protection red line system. The initially delineated national ecological protection red line area shall not be less than 25% of the land area; the national forest coverage rate has increased to 23.04%, and the global green area increased by about 1/4 from 2000 to 2017 From China...The land of China is full of greenery and bursts of vitality.
