Saving resources is the fundamental strategy to protect the ecological environment
Saving resources is the fundamental strategy to protect the ecological environment.
It is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling than to draw wages from the bottom of the cauldron, especially when it comes to protecting the ecological environment.
Most of the damage to the ecological environment is due to the over-exploitation and extensive use of resources.
If the pond is exhausted and fish is exhausted, there must be no more fish in the end.
Therefore, we must start from the source of resource usage.
——On May 24, 2013, Xi Jinping's speech at the sixth collective study of the Political Bureau of the Eighteenth Central Committee
To promote the construction of ecological civilization and solve the problems of tightening resource constraints, serious environmental pollution, and ecosystem degradation, we must take some hard measures and work hard to achieve results.
It is a hard measure to implement dual controls on the total amount and intensity of energy and water consumption and construction land.
That is to say, it is necessary to control not only the total amount, but also the energy consumption per unit of GDP, the consumption of water resources, and the intensity of construction land.
If this work is done well, it will not only save energy and soil and water resources, reduce pollutant emissions from the source, but also force the transformation of economic development mode and improve the green level of my country's economic development.
——On October 26, 2015, Xi Jinping's statement on the "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development"
Ecological and environmental problems are, in the final analysis, caused by over-exploitation, extensive use of resources, and extravagant consumption.
The development and utilization of resources should not only support contemporary people to live a happy life, but also leave a foundation for future generations to survive.
To solve this problem, it is necessary to change the way of resource utilization and improve the efficiency of resource utilization.
It is necessary to establish a resource concept of economical and intensive recycling, implement the strictest arable land protection and water resources management systems, strengthen the dual control management of energy and water resources, and the total amount and intensity of construction land, pay more attention to the system efficiency of resource utilization, and pay more attention to resources. In the process of development and utilization, the damage to the ecological environment shall be reduced, the recycling and utilization of resources shall be paid more attention, and the greatest economic and social benefits shall be obtained with the least resource and environmental cost.
It is necessary to comprehensively promote low-carbon and circular development in key areas, strengthen energy consumption management in high-energy-consuming industries, strengthen energy conservation in buildings and transportation, develop water-saving industries, and promote the centralized treatment and resource utilization of various wastes and garbage.

Facing the future, China will implement the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, implement a series of policies and measures, vigorously develop clean energy, optimize the industrial structure, build a low-carbon energy system, develop green buildings and low-carbon transportation, and establish a national Carbon emissions trading market, etc., continue to promote green and low-carbon development, and promote harmony between man and nature.
——On June 1, 2016, Xi Jinping's congratulatory letter to the 7th Clean Energy Ministerial Conference and the "Innovation Mission" Ministerial Conference
Chinese civilization has always advocated the unity of man and nature, the law of nature, and the pursuit of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
China has written the concept of ecological civilization and the construction of ecological civilization into the "Constitution of the People's Republic of China" and incorporated it into the overall layout of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Guided by the idea of ecological civilization, China implements the new development concept, takes the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development as the guide, takes the green and low-carbon development of energy as the key, and adheres to the ecological priority, green and low-carbon development path.
——On April 22, 2021, Xi Jinping's speech at the "Leaders' Climate Summit"
I have emphasized many times that the issue of ecological environment is, in the final analysis, the issue of development mode and way of life.
Establishing and improving a green, low-carbon and circular development economic system and promoting a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development are the basic strategies to solve my country's ecological and environmental problems.

Establishing a green and low-carbon development economic system and promoting a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development are the long-term strategies for achieving sustainable development.
It is necessary to accelerate the formation of green and low-carbon transportation methods, strengthen the construction of green infrastructure, promote new energy, intelligent, digital and lightweight transportation equipment, encourage and guide green travel, and make transportation more environmentally friendly and travel more low-carbon.
——On October 14, 2021, Xi Jinping's keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Second United Nations Global Conference on Sustainable Transportation
Emission reduction is not about reducing productivity or not emitting emissions. It is about taking the path of ecological priority, green and low-carbon development, promoting green transformation in economic development, and achieving greater development in green transformation.
——On January 14, 2022, Xi Jinping's speech at the thirty-sixth collective study of the Political Bureau of the Nineteenth Central Committee
Advocate a simple, moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle
Promoting the formation of green development methods and lifestyles is a profound revolution in the concept of development.
This requires adhering to and implementing the new development concept, correctly handling the relationship between economic development and ecological environment protection, protecting the ecological environment like protecting eyes, treating the ecological environment like life, and resolutely abandoning development models that damage or even destroy the ecological environment. The practice of sacrificing the ecological environment in exchange for one-time economic growth, making a good ecological environment a growth point of people's lives, a support point for sustainable and healthy economic and social development, a force point to show my country's good image, and make China's land blue sky , The mountains are greener, the water is clearer, and the environment is more beautiful.
