"The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China stated that Chinese-style modernization is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, emphasizing the need to 'plan development at the height of harmonious coexistence between man and nature'. Based on this background, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference newly established the environmental resource sector. A positive response to the development requirements of the Party and State Center."

　　More than 30% of the members of the environmental resources community are experts and scholars, including academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Their research fields involve marine ecology, lake ecology, and terrestrial ecology.

Jiao Nianzhi, a committee member of the environmental resources industry, said that communicating with experts from different professions in the same field, everyone is running towards the same goal, and conducting "consultations" on complex issues.

This strategic task is of great significance.

　　"The committee members must not only 'ask real questions', but also 'find good solutions'." Wu Ruijun said that due to the unbalanced and insufficient development of my country's regions and industries, and the large differences in the construction of basic environmental protection capabilities, the results achieved Not solid.

"It is expected that issues such as green carbon reduction, ecological governance, and energy and resource security will receive attention. I will also give full play to my professional advantages and actively discuss and advise on issues such as dealing with negative population growth."

"I look forward to finding more and better ways to promote the harmonious coexistence between man and nature with many committee members in the field of environmental resources." Yu Guodong said.
