"Heaven has a constant", "It should be ruled by Zeji".
After five years, the National Eco-environmental Protection Conference was held in Beijing on July 5-7, and General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the meeting and delivered an important speech.
The achievements of ecological civilization construction in the new era have attracted worldwide attention. In his important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping summarized four "major changes": "from key rectification to system governance", "from passive response to proactive action", "from global environmental governance participant to leader", and "from practical exploration to scientific theory guidance".
After in-depth investigation and investigation on the front line, important meetings with a long-term perspective, and following the footsteps of the general secretary, the profound connotations of the four "major changes" have become clearer.
A river reflects the systematic concept of combining points and surfaces, treating both symptoms and root causes.
In June last year, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yibin City, Sichuan Province for an inspection. The Jinsha River and the Min River converge here, and the Yangtze River was originally called the "Yangtze River".
"As a city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, we must strengthen our upstream responsibility, not 'open black shops' and discharge sewage along the river, and find ways to protect the water quality of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River with standards that can produce fine wine, so as to benefit the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the entire river basin." The general secretary emphasized this during his inspection.
"It is necessary to enhance systematic thinking", "coordinate ecological elements such as landscapes, forests, lakes and grasses", "promote the coordinated management of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, rivers and lakes, left and right banks, and main tributaries"... In 2016, 2018 and 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping held three symposiums on the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in Chongqing in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuhan in the middle reaches and Nanjing in the lower reaches. Every symposium is inseparable from the word "system".
"Tracing back to the root cause, systematic treatment, preventing headaches and foot pain." After systematic management, the quality of the water environment of the Yangtze River has continued to improve, and the level of aquatic biodiversity of the Yangtze River has been improved, reproducing the scenery of "one river with clear water and green mountains on both sides".

On June 6 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the state-owned Xinhua Forest Farm in Linhe District, Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, to learn about the construction of the "Three North" shelterforest system.
At Xinhua Forest Farm, the person in charge pointed to the piles of small particles in the sand and said: "This is called 'bitter beans', and when the old farmers look at it, they know that the sand is becoming soiled, and they can grow crops here in the future." ”
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "This is the spirit of exploration of the people in a difficult environment, not afraid of difficulties. ”
From "sand into people retreating" to "green into sand retreating", turning "thousands of miles of wind and sand" into "green Great Wall". After several generations and nearly half a century of continuous struggle, the construction of the "Three Norths" project has made major achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. At the symposium held that afternoon, General Secretary Xi Jinping talked about the "Three North Spirit" and spoke fondly about the sand control people he had seen: Wang Youde, the "hero of sand control" in Ningxia, the "six old men" of Gansu's eight-step sand forest farm, and the ranger couple of the Wanghailou of Saihanba Forest Farm...
"The trend of ambition is far-reaching, and the poor mountains and the sea cannot be limited." Rooted in the desert, there are calluses and calluses that drink snow water and gnaw dry bread, and are inseparable from innovative leadership such as water-saving forests and grasses, industrial sand control, and generations of sand control people have created a green miracle of "daring to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky" with strong initiative and pragmatic conscious action.
An enterprise that has witnessed the responsibility of a major country that keeps up with the times and looks at the world.
In May this year, on the eve of the China-Central Asia Summit chaired by General Secretary Xi Jinping in Xi'an, he specially listened to the work report of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, emphasizing "promoting the green transformation of the energy industry and actively and steadily promoting carbon peaking and carbon neutrality".
Previously, the general secretary visited Yulin Chemical Co., Ltd., a national energy group, in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, to understand the planning, construction and operation of the circular economy coal comprehensive utilization project. "The development of coal energy should be transformed and upgraded, and take the road of green and low-carbon development." This will not exceed the limits of resources, energy and environment, but also help achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, meet the requirements of building a community with a shared future for mankind, and take good care of our earth home. "The general secretary gave instructions during the inspection.
"China's carbon dioxide emissions strive to peak before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060." This solemn commitment means that China, as the world's largest developing country, will achieve the world's highest carbon emission intensity reduction, and it will not be easy to achieve carbon peak to carbon neutrality in the shortest time in global history.
Words must be believed, actions must be done. Build the world's largest clean power generation system, establish the world's largest carbon market covering greenhouse gas emissions, and become the most active country in the world to deploy environmental technology innovation... The "global leader" and "world's best" demonstrate the responsibility and responsibility of major countries as leaders in global environmental governance.
A conference condensed the ideological power of insight into laws and leading practice.
"The construction of ecological civilization is a fundamental plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation." Five years ago in May, the National Conference on Ecological Environmental Protection was held. General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the conference, putting forward the principles for promoting the construction of ecological civilization in the new era, and emphasizing the need to accelerate the construction of an ecological civilization system.
