This month, during an inspection and investigation in Hainan, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Lucid waters and lush mountains are reservoirs, grain depots, money depots, and carbon depots."
Last month, the general secretary emphasized when participating in the capital's voluntary tree-planting activity: "Forests are reservoirs, money banks, and grain banks, and now a 'carbon bank' should be added."
As early as when he was working in Ningde, Comrade Xi Jinping put forward the scientific thesis of "reservoir, money bank and grain depot", pointing out the direction for the revitalization of Eastern Mindong.
With the consistent concept, the same feelings, and the responsibility to the end.
From the practice of green development in a city to the concept of green development in a country, every inch of time has dyed beautiful China green. The lucid waters and lush mountains described by the general secretary contain treasures that benefit the people and their descendants.
Containing water as a reservoir, moisturizing great rivers and mountains
Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, a dewdrop falling on bougainvillea, blooming bright rose; Wuyi Mountain Jiuqu River, thousands of water droplets converge into "green streamers", caressing the towering peaks... Water is the source of life , the essential of production, the basis of ecology, and the basis for the maintenance of the ecosystem.
"An advertisement says 'the last drop of water on the earth is human tears', and we must not allow this phenomenon to happen." General Secretary Xi Jinping took a long-term view and proposed "the strategy of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and realizing the sustainable development of the Chinese nation." High, pay attention to solving the problem of water safety.”
Water security is inseparable from water supply. To solve the problem of water supply, we must start with the conservation of water sources and the restoration of damaged ecology.
Rivers, lakes, forests, wetlands, green "natural reservoirs".
The source of the three rivers of the "China Water Tower" is of great significance to ensure that "a river of clear water flows eastward".
The general secretary profoundly pointed out: "In areas with important ecological functions such as Sanjiangyuan and Qilian Mountains, it is not suitable to develop industrial economy. The main purpose is to protect the ecology, conserve water sources, and create more ecological products."
"Central Water Tower" Qinling, an important water conservation area in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins.
The general secretary inspected the protection and restoration of this "ecological safety barrier" on the spot, and planned the direction for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.
Green hills are immortal and green waters flow forever, nourishing all things and moisturizing all directions.
Accumulate grain as a storehouse, stabilize the Chinese rice bowl
Cang Lin is real, the world is safe.
Food security is the "bigger of the country".
Hainan in April, the national base for scientific research and breeding of southern breeding, the spring breeze blows through the green fields, and there are thousands of waves of rice.
Four years ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked along the ridge into the "Chaoyouqian" super hybrid rice display field to check the growth of the rice.
During his inspection tour in Hainan this year, the general secretary came to the Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory as his first stop, and emphasized: "If the Chinese people want to keep their rice bowls firmly in their own hands, they must hold the seeds firmly in their own hands."
Good ecology and abundant products.
The largest southern breeding base in the country has been built here, thanks to the unique light and heat conditions, and also thanks to Hainan's "has the best ecological environment in the country".
Looking around, from "the fragrance of rice flowers by the Hailan River" in Yanbian, Jilin, to the "Green Rice Capital of China" in Jiansanjiang, Heilongjiang, and then to the "Little Jiangnan in Northern Shaanxi" surrounded by terraced fields in Gaoxigou Village, Shaanxi... The land, the black land, the journey is thousands of miles, and the feelings are the same.
This year's two sessions, the general secretary mentioned "establishing a big food concept" and pointed out that "on the premise of protecting the ecological environment, we should expand from arable land resources to the whole country's land resources. Fishing is suitable for fishing, and forestry is suitable for forestry, so as to form a modern agricultural production structure and regional layout that is in line with market demand and the carrying capacity of resources and environment.”
Ask for food from forests, from rivers, lakes and seas, and from facility agriculture. Clear waters and lush mountains are themselves "Chinese rice bowls".
Accumulate wealth as a library, open up the way to get rich
In Yu Village, Anji, Zhejiang, at the head of the village there is a memorial stone inscribed with "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".
It was here that Comrade Xi Jinping first put forward the scientific conclusion that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".
"'Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets', which is actually value-added." To improve the ecological environment is to develop productive forces, and only by giving full play to the ecological advantages can high-quality development be achieved.
At a farmhouse in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, the general secretary and village representatives sat together and said, "This is a natural oxygen bar and a 'beautiful economy', which confirms the truth that clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets."
At Chagan Lake in Jilin, the general secretary had a cordial conversation with the workers of the fishery, emphasizing that "lucid waters, lush mountains, ice and snow are invaluable assets. Ecological protection and the development of eco-tourism complement each other, and this road must be continued firmly."
Hearing the grassroots representatives talk about the "Forest Symphony" of the Greater Khingan Mountains, the general secretary said with a smile: "The total ecological value you mentioned is the concept of green GDP, which shows that ecology itself is a value."
Good natural ecology contains huge economic value.
Under the guidance of the scientific concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", thousands of villages have realized ecological beauty, industrial prosperity, and people's wealth, and embarked on the road of green development to become rich.
Sink carbon as a reservoir, build a green home together
Many trees form a forest, lush and lush, and a forest is a carbon storage pool.
When participating in the voluntary tree-planting activity in the capital last year, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "enhancing the increase in the carbon sink of the ecosystem"; in this year's voluntary tree-planting activity, the General Secretary once again mentioned "consolidating and enhancing the carbon sink capacity of the ecosystem".
"CO2 emissions strive to peak before 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060." On September 22, 2020, President Xi Jinping made a solemn commitment at the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly.
Promises must be kept and action must be resolute.
On March 15 last year, the general secretary presided over the ninth meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Committee.
The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to improve the ecological carbon sink capacity, strengthen the management and control of land space and use, effectively play the role of carbon sequestration in forests, grasslands, wetlands, oceans, soil, and frozen soil, and increase the increase in ecosystem carbon sinks.
On August 23 last year, in Yueliang Mountain of Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm, the general secretary earnestly asked to "enhance carbon sink capacity and other aspects to make bold explorations, and effectively build a strong ecological barrier in Beijing and Tianjin."
China's perseverance demonstrates its responsibility as a major country, and contributes wisdom and strength to promoting global environmental and climate governance and jointly building a community of life on earth.
"The lifeline of man is in the field, the lifeline of the field is in the water, the lifeline of the water is in the mountain, the lifeline of the mountain is in the soil, and the lifeline of the soil is in the forest and grass. This community of life is the material basis for human survival and development." Now, my country's ecological civilization Construction has entered a critical period in which the improvement of the ecological environment has changed from quantitative to qualitative.
