China News Service, February 23. Yan Gang, deputy director of the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said on the 23rd that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we will fully implement the ecological and environmental protection planning of the Yellow River Basin as the starting point to promote the implementation of the ecological environment of the Yellow River Basin. The tough battle of protection and governance will be carried out, and the systematic coordination of watershed governance will be strengthened.

On the one hand, pay close attention to source governance.

On the other hand, strengthen the supervision of ecological protection.

  The Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a regular press conference for February on the 23rd. At the meeting, a reporter asked: What considerations does the Ministry of Environment have in promoting the national major strategic ecological environment protection this year?

How to promote the implementation of the special plan for ecological environmental protection in the Yellow River Basin, and what are the arrangements for the comprehensive management of environmental pollution in the Yellow River Basin during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period?

  In this regard, Yan Gang said that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment attaches great importance to the ecological environmental protection work in major national strategic regions, and further promotes regional governance and mechanism construction.

The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and an important ecological barrier in my country.

In accordance with the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has continued to strengthen the ecological protection and comprehensive environmental management of the Yellow River, and promote the continuous improvement of the ecological environment quality of the basin.

Specifically, let's look at the work in several aspects: 

  The first is to promote the green transformation and development of the Yellow River Basin.

Adhere to the rule of law and planning first, actively promote the legislation on the protection of the Yellow River, take the lead in the formulation of the "Plan for Ecological Environmental Protection in the Yellow River Basin", focus on ecological protection and high-quality development, make arrangements for the green transformation and development of the entire basin, and make scientific plans.

Promote the establishment of a "three lines and one single" ecological environment zoning management and control system along the Huangjiu provinces and regions, initially delineate more than 10,000 environmental management and control units, strengthen source prevention and control, and curb unreasonable water demand.

  The second is to strengthen the system management of the river basin environment.

Take the Yellow River ecological protection and governance battle as one of the eight iconic battles in the in-depth pollution prevention and control battle.

Carry out a special campaign for the inspection and rectification of sewage outfalls in the Yellow River Basin in stages.

Strengthen the pollution control of important tributaries and lakes along the Yellow River, and focus on rectifying black and odorous water bodies.

Intensify financial support. During the 13th Five-Year Plan, 105.2 billion yuan of central environmental protection special funds were allocated for the provinces and regions along the Yellow River, focusing on supporting the prevention and control of water, air and soil pollution in the basin and the improvement of the rural environment.

Adhering to the problem orientation, we completed the "Yellow River Basin Ecological Environment Warning Film" and its supporting problem list, and promoted the solution of a number of prominent ecological and environmental problems.

  The third is to continue to strengthen ecological protection and restoration.

Support the basic completion of the evaluation and adjustment of the ecological protection red line along the Huangjiu provinces and regions.

Carry out surveys and assessments on changes in ecological conditions in the Yellow River Basin.

Continue to carry out the Qinling biodiversity survey.

Arrange guiding funds of 2 billion yuan to promote the establishment of a horizontal ecological protection compensation mechanism for the entire river basin.

Promote the implementation of key scientific and technological projects such as the protection and restoration of fragile ecosystems.

In this regard, there is basic work and mechanism exploration. At present, the effect is gradually showing.

  Yan Gang also said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we will fully implement the ecological and environmental protection plan in the Yellow River Basin as the starting point, promote the implementation of the tough battle for ecological protection and governance in the Yellow River Basin, and strengthen the systematic coordination of watershed governance.

On the one hand, pay close attention to source governance.

On the other hand, strengthen the supervision of ecological protection.

Adhere to scientific policies, make steady progress, act according to ecological laws, demonstrate the effectiveness of the management and protection of the Yellow River Basin, and make the Yellow River a river of happiness that benefits the people.
