　　Building a beautiful home with blue sky, green land and clear water is the common wish of hundreds of millions of people.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has focused on the fundamental plan of realizing the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, vigorously promoted the construction of ecological civilization, and promoted the reform of the ecological civilization system.

The Central Ecological Environmental Protection Inspector, personally planned, deployed and promoted by General Secretary Xi Jinping, is a major institutional innovation of the party and the country and an important starting point for the construction of ecological civilization.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to and cares about the work of inspections, and has given important instructions on many occasions to steer the work of inspections.

Since the pilot program at the end of 2015, the inspection work has always thoroughly implemented Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization, firmly established institutional rigidity and authority, consolidated the political responsibility for ecological civilization construction, solved a large number of prominent ecological and environmental problems, and facilitated the green transformation and development of the economy and society. An important force in the construction of a beautiful China.

"The protection of the ecological environment must rely on institutions and the rule of law"

　　On June 2, 2022, with the approval of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the inspection team reported the inspection situation to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. So far, the second round of central ecological and environmental protection inspections starting in 2019 has completed full coverage.

　　Over the past few years, General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally reviewed the work arrangements of each batch of inspectors, each inspector's report, each rectification plan, and each rectification implementation, pointing out the direction for the inspection work.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has made unprecedented efforts to build ecological civilization. The construction of ecological civilization has been incorporated into the overall layout of the "five-in-one" cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it has insisted on the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. The era adheres to and develops an integral part of the basic strategy of socialism with Chinese characteristics, green has become an important aspect of the new development concept, pollution prevention and control has become an important battle in the three major battles, and the word "beauty" has been written into the goal of socialist modernization and power... Ecological civilization The status of construction in the development of the party and the country in the new era is more prominent.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping made a series of important expositions on the construction of ecological civilization, and profoundly answered the major theoretical and practical questions about why, what kind of ecological civilization to build, and how to build ecological civilization. All departments in the region have made full efforts in ideology, law, system, organization and work style to carry out a series of fundamental, pioneering and long-term work to promote historic, turning and overall changes in my country's ecological and environmental protection.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The protection of the ecological environment must rely on institutions and the rule of law."

　　In the past ten years, the "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization" and the "Overall Plan for the Reform of Ecological Civilization System" have been successively issued, and dozens of reform plans have been implemented one after another, building the "four beams and eight pillars" for the construction of the ecological civilization system.

　　The establishment of an inspection system is one of the key measures.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that the key to the implementation of ecological and environmental protection lies in leading cadres.

　　On July 1, 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the 14th meeting of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform and delivered an important speech. The meeting reviewed and approved the "Environmental Protection Supervision Program (Trial)".

　　The meeting pointed out that the establishment of an environmental supervision working mechanism is an important starting point for the construction of ecological civilization.

At the same time, the meeting also emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen the requirements of "the party and the government have the same responsibilities" and "one post with two responsibilities" in environmental protection, and hold relevant units and individuals responsible for areas with outstanding problems.

　　Hebei has become the first pilot pilot for inspectors.

On December 31, 2015, the central environmental protection inspection team entered Hebei.

　　At that time, Hebei has been receiving much attention because of its extensive development mode, concentrated heavy chemical enterprises, poor air quality and heavy pollution for many years.

　　For more than a month, the inspection team conducted “inquiries” for ecological and environmental problems in Hebei through various methods such as listening to briefings, reviewing materials, researching and discussing, visiting inquiries, individual conversations, accepting reports, spot checks, and sinking inspections. open".

　　On May 3, 2016, the inspection team reported the inspection situation to Hebei Province.

About 60% of this public bulletin is devoted to the problem, and it points directly to the lesion.

　　A few days after the feedback, Hebei Province held an environmental protection conference, announced the goal of resolving excess production capacity, and proposed to strengthen the control of air, water, soil and other environmental pollution, promote ecological restoration, strengthen environmental supervision and law enforcement, and make the ecological environment fundamental as soon as possible. get better.

　　The action is really hard to send a clear signal.

Leading cadres in many places said that it is necessary to deeply realize that the environment is the livelihood of the people, and to turn the pressure of environmental protection into the driving force for pollution control.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping affirmed the inspection work carried out in Hebei, believing that the inspectors "discovered problems, sounded the alarm, put forward requirements, and clarified the direction of rectification."

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly requested that this work should be carried out, and the follow-up inspection work should be carried out successively.

　　Soon, the first batch of 8 inspection teams officially entered the 8 provinces and regions, which opened the curtain of the first batch of central environmental protection inspectors.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping demanded that party committees and governments at all levels must attach great importance to the problem of ecological and environmental pollution, face the problem squarely, and focus on solving it, rather than covering it up.

　　By the end of 2017, the first round of central environmental protection inspectors had achieved full coverage of 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, exposing the ecological damage in Qilian Mountains, the illegal construction of golf courses and villas in Changbai Mountain International Resort, and violations in some places in Hainan. A number of ecological and environmental issues such as reclamation and development.

　　During the National Two Sessions in 2018, the State Council's institutional reform plan was announced.

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment was then officially listed.

　　On March 28, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the first meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms. The review of the "Report on the Summary of the First Round of Central Environmental Protection Inspectors and Considerations for Next Steps" was one of the important contents of this meeting. one.

　　The meeting affirmed the first round of central environmental protection inspectors, saying that they adhered to the problem-oriented approach, dared to confront hardships, and achieved remarkable results.

The meeting proposed that the next step should focus on solving outstanding environmental problems, improving environmental quality, and promoting high-quality economic development, consolidating the construction of ecological civilization and environmental protection political responsibility, and promoting the in-depth development of environmental protection inspectors.

　　Soon, "Central Environmental Protection Inspector" was changed to "Central Ecological Environmental Protection Inspector", and the word "ecological" was added to link pollution prevention and ecological protection and strengthen unified supervision of ecological and environmental protection.

　　In June 2019, the "Regulations on the Work of the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Supervision" were issued and implemented, which regulates the work of supervision in the form of intra-Party regulations.

　　In accordance with the regulations, the central leading group for the supervision of ecological and environmental protection was formally established, which further strengthened the authority of the supervision.

　　The institutional system has been continuously improved, and the inspection work has continued to advance.

　　In July 2019, the second round of central ecological and environmental protection inspections was fully launched and more in-depth - in addition to local governments, relevant departments of the State Council and relevant central enterprises were added as inspection objects; Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought will be implemented, and the Party Central Committee and the State Council will be implemented. The construction of ecological civilization and the decision-making and deployment of ecological environmental protection, as well as the implementation of new development concepts and the promotion of high-quality development, are the focus of inspections...

　　In 2022, with the approval of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the "Measures for the Rectification of the Central Ecological Environmental Protection Supervision" will be issued and implemented.

　　In June 2022, after three years, the second round of inspection tasks will be fully completed.

"Dare to be real, not afraid of offending people, and never let go of the problem"

　　Precisely taking the pulse can prescribe the right medicine.

　　After the feedback from the Hebei Provincial Inspector in 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions and pointed out that to adhere to the problem orientation, we must make great efforts to discover problems, and dare to be real.

　　In April 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions, emphasizing the need to adhere to the tone of strictness, the investigation and punishment of the investigation, the exposure of the exposure, the rectification of the rectification, and the accountability of the accountability.

　　In accordance with the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the inspectors adhered to the problem orientation, and the "stubborn diseases" of the ecological environment accumulated over the years of rapid development in some places were brought to the surface one by one.

Looking back at the typical cases exposed by previous inspectors, problems such as "ecological damage", "shortcomings in environmental infrastructure", "the problem of direct sewage discharge is more common" and "perfunctory response to rectification" have repeatedly appeared.

　　At the National Ecological Environmental Protection Conference held in 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when talking about water control: "According to the information provided by the central environmental protection inspector, even some municipalities, developed coastal provinces, and special economic zones have direct discharge of large amounts of sewage."

　　"Floating lotuses cover the river, and it looks like a prairie!" Lianjiang, known as "the most polluted river in Guangdong", once caused more than 4 million people in the basin to suffer from black and odorous water. The river is "unsaved".

　　In April 2017, Lianjiang was named by the central environmental protection inspector for the first time: Shantou and Jieyang have long had the idea of ​​​​depending on and relying on, and the management plan of Lianjiang has failed every year...

　　A year later, the inspector "looked back" and continued to focus on the pollution control of the Lianjiang River.

The water was black and smelly, and there was trash everywhere on the riverbanks.

The inspection team pointed out that training Jiang to control pollution is not a practice.

　　Guangdong Province, cities, counties, towns and villages are working together to strengthen the pollution control of the Lianjiang River, focusing on "source control and pollution interception", and make up for the environmental improvement debts one by one... Now, Lianjiang has bid farewell to the "ink river". , is gradually restoring "vitality", and the surrounding people have deeply felt the changes in the ecological environment of the Lianjiang River.

　　my country has a vast territory, and there are large differences in development stages, resource endowments, and environmental capacity between regions. It is necessary to adhere to precise, scientific, and lawful inspections, grasp the main contradictions and the main aspects of the contradictions, and draw accurate images for the inspected objects.

　　In ecologically sensitive Guangxi, the inspector will focus on the ecological protection of the Li River;

　　In resource-rich Heilongjiang, the protection of black land has entered the inspector's field of vision;

　　In Hubei, the "province of a thousand lakes", the management of lakes is the focus of inspectors every time...

　　Identify the crux of the construction of ecological civilization in various places, dig out the root cause of environmental problems, and keep an eye on the end to eliminate "stubborn diseases" in the local area.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping said at the National Ecological Environmental Protection Conference: "Especially the central environmental protection inspection system is well established and used, dares to take action, is not afraid of offending people, and does not relax when it comes to problems. The relevant departments have taken hard and practical measures to implement the responsibility for ecological and environmental protection."

　　In the midsummer season, enter the Qinling Niubeiliang National Nature Reserve, the dense forest is towering and the waterfall is like a curtain.

　　Once upon a time, the illegally built villas at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains were like scars, eating away at the green of the foothills of the Qinling Mountains.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has given important instructions six times.

The central government dispatched a special rectification working group to settle in Shaanxi, and more than a thousand illegally built villas were completely rectified and restored to green.

　　Not only Qinling, but since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly issued important instructions on some incidents that seriously damage the ecological environment, requiring serious investigation and punishment.

　　The outstanding ecological and environmental issues that General Secretary Xi Jinping paid attention to have also pointed out the direction for the inspection work and have become the top priority of the inspection work.

The central ecological and environmental protection inspector, together with other special supervision and inspections, forms a joint force to protect the ecological environment.

　　For a period of time, the Qilian Mountains have been quarried, occupied and built indiscriminately, the frozen soil is broken, the vegetation is sparse, and the ecology is damaged.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important instructions many times, demanding resolute rectification.

　　At the end of 2016, the Central Environmental Protection Inspectorate was stationed in Gansu, directly pointing out the problems of illegal exploitation of mineral resources in Qilian Mountains, disorderly and excessive exploitation of hydropower resources, and ineffective rectification of ecological damage.

　　From February 12 to March 3, 2017, a central inspection team formed by the Party Central Committee and relevant departments of the State Council carried out special inspections.

In July, the Central Office and the State Office issued a special circular on the ecological environment of the Qilian Mountains National Nature Reserve in Gansu.

　　In July 2019, the second round of central ecological and environmental protection inspections was officially launched, and Gansu entered the list of the first batch of inspectors.

The ecological destruction of the Qilian Mountains has become one of the key points of the inspection.

In accordance with the requirements of the Party Central Committee, the inspection team carried out on-site verification of local rectification progress one by one.

　　Today, all 144 mining rights have been classified and withdrawn, all 42 hydropower stations have been classified and disposed of, and 25 tourism facilities have been fully rectified... Qilian Mountain has gradually recovered its lush water, grass and galloping horses.

　　Bite the problem and don't relax.

The inspector insisted on a strict tone, gnawed the "hard bones" one after another, and severely investigated and punished the illegal "slimming" of the Karamaili Mountain Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, the pollution of the Tengger Desert, the outstanding illegal construction of the Jinyun Mountain National Nature Reserve in Chongqing, and the east Liaohe River in Jilin. Deterioration of water quality, illegal construction of Dianchi Lake in Yunnan, etc., the relevant rectification work is being solidly advanced and achieved phased results...

　　In the mind of General Secretary Xi Jinping, developing the economy is for the people's livelihood, and protecting the ecological environment is also for the people's livelihood.

　　No matter how small the things that benefit the people are, they should be done, and the things that harm the people should be eliminated no matter how small.

　　Inspectors not only focus on "big things" and "hard bones", but also focus their "lens" on "things around us" and "small problems" that plague the masses.

　　Black and odorous water bodies, cluttered garbage, peculiar smell of oil fume, and noise disturbing the people... Over the past few years, the two rounds of inspectors have received a total of 287,000 complaints and reports on the public's ecological environment, and 285,000 have been completed or completed in stages.

The ecological environment around the people has changed visibly and palpably.

"Protecting the ecology well and making full use of the ecological advantages can achieve high-quality development"

　　The clear water is meandering, and the green belts are intertwined.

The Xuejiawa Ecological Park in Ma'anshan, Anhui, on the banks of the Yangtze River, is now an urban ecological living room where the local people are close to the river, water and green.

　　Ma'anshan City is prosperous because of steel, and the industry is developing rapidly, but there have been many ecological debts.

Just a few years ago, Xuejiawa was still an ecological "scar" on the banks of the Yangtze River.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping has profound thoughts on the relationship between development and protection——

　　"We want both lucid waters and lush mountains, but also invaluable assets. We would rather have lush waters and lush mountains than invaluable assets, and lush waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets."

　　"To protect the ecological environment is to protect productive forces, and to improve the ecological environment is to develop productive forces."

　　"Eco-environmental protection and economic development are not a relationship of contradictions and opposites, but a relationship of dialectical unity. Only by laying the groundwork for green development can there be a triumphant development in the future."

　　The central ecological and environmental protection supervision work focuses on promoting high-quality development, promotes the transformation and upgrading of local industrial structures, and gradually embarks on a green and low-carbon development path.

In particular, the second round of inspectors focused on strictly controlling the blind launch of "two high" projects, curbing the momentum of "two high" projects blindly launching.

　　January 2016, upstream Chongqing; April 2018, midstream Wuhan; May 2019, Nanchang; November 2020, downstream Nanjing—General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over four symposiums to provide green and high-quality Yangtze River Economic Belt The development has drawn a grand blueprint.

　　Bearing in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's ardent entrustment of "together with large-scale protection and not to engage in large-scale development", the central ecological and environmental protection inspector will keep an eye on it, and guide the 11 provinces and cities along the river to adjust the industrial structure, accelerate shoreline improvement, strictly control environmental risks, and protect the mother river. A river of clear water.

　　He has been named by the inspection team for many times to coordinate the promotion of high-level protection of the ecological environment and the high-quality development of the industry. It has also become a "test paper" that Ma'anshan must answer well.

　　With the determination to "break the wrist of a strong man", we have carried out governance along the Yangtze River, rectified "scattered and polluted" enterprises, demolished illegal docks, and 35 black and odorous water bodies in the urban area have been fully rectified...

　　Accelerate the creation of a national-level industrial cluster of advanced structural materials led by the iron and steel industry, and a provincial-level major emerging industrial cluster marked by intelligent equipment manufacturing, energy conservation and environmental protection, and green food. Maanshan City has embarked on a path of green and high-quality development.

　　In August 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Xuejiawa Ecological Park to learn more about the comprehensive improvement of the Yangtze River coastline in Ma'anshan City, the restoration of ecological environmental protection, and the ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "High-quality development can only be achieved by protecting the ecology well and making full use of the ecological advantages."

　　The development concept determines the development effect.

The central ecological and environmental protection supervision work strengthens the accountability of supervisors, strives to consolidate the political responsibility of local party committees and governments, and promotes the implementation of the concept of ecological civilization.

　　On April 25, 2021, on the banks of the Li River, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Guangxi, listened to the comprehensive management of the Lijiang River Basin, and in particular asked about illegal quarrying.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The worst thing is quarrying. If you destroy a mountain, you will never lose such a mountain. The whole of China and the whole world is such a treasure. Don't destroy it."

　　At that time, the inspection team was conducting inspections in Guangxi and other places, and just exposed the illegal mining and barbaric quarrying in some places in Guangxi, which caused serious ecological damage, serious damage to the geological and landforms, and the problem of protection making way for development.

　　After the inspector exposed the problem, a local cadre said that it is necessary to effectively change the concept of development, balance the relationship between development and protection, protect the beauty of the mountains and rivers, give full play to the advantages of characteristic resources, vigorously develop the ecological industry, and truly find that clear waters and lush mountains are the heights of invaluable assets. Quality development path.

　　At present, the local ecological restoration work is progressing steadily, and the beautiful landscape is reappearing.

　　Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the concept of lucid waters and lush mountains is invaluable assets has become the consensus and action of the whole party and the whole society.

　　People's expectations for the quality of the ecological environment are getting higher and higher.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has instructed to focus on overcoming the prominent ecological and environmental problems around the common people, so that the common people can truly feel the improvement in the quality of the ecological environment.

　　In recent years, in the promotion of local rectification, the inspectors have solved a number of "old and difficult" problems that have been tried for many years but have not been solved, and constantly meet the people's growing needs for a better life.

　　As of the end of April 2022, there were 3,294 rectification tasks specified in the first round of inspections and the "look back" rectification plan, with an overall completion rate of 95%.

Half of the 1,227 rectification tasks specified in the first three batches of rectification plans in the second round have been completed;

　　The Fen River is the second largest tributary of the Yellow River and the largest river in Shanxi.

Due to historical reasons, the Fenhe River was once seriously polluted.

Two rounds of inspectors have been stationed in Shanxi, and pollution control of the Fen River is a key inspection task.

　　Shanxi has launched a tough battle for the management of the Fen River in the province, with five strategies of pollution control, humidification, dredging, green banks, and water diversion; Taiyuan City has implemented the "Nine Rivers" comprehensive management project and built a green ecological corridor along the Fen River.

　　Today, the "Fen River Night Ferry" is picturesque, and the riverside bicycle path is like a ribbon.

　　On May 12, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Jinyang Bridge Section of Taiyuan City, Fenhe River.

Standing on the bank of the Fenhe River, and hearing that the Fenhe River has gradually realized "abundant water volume, better water quality, and beautiful scenery", General Secretary Xi Jinping nodded and praised: "It's really a vicissitudes of life!"

　　In Inner Mongolia, the comprehensive management of "one lake and two seas" in Hulun Lake, Wuliangsuhai and Daihai has been comprehensively promoted, and the vitality has been restored;

　　In Ningxia, disorderly and barbaric mining and serious ecological damage in Helan Mountain have been effectively curbed, and the "scars" of history have gradually healed;

　　In Sichuan, Chengdu air pollution control handed over a dazzling "transcript", reproducing "the window contains the snow in the Xiling Qianqiu"...

　　Splendid China, more "gorgeous turn" stories are being staged.

　　As we embark on a new journey in a new era, under the guidance of Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization, the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspector will maintain his determination, do good deeds, and continue to contribute to the construction of a beautiful China.

Hundreds of millions of Chinese people walk hand in hand, and will surely paint a more magnificent new picture!
