Be a loyal practitioner of Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Jilin three times to inspect the work, and has made a series of important instructions and requirements for Jilin's ecological environmental protection and green development. We are deeply encouraged to unify our thoughts and actions on the faithful implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, transform General Secretary Xi Jinping's care and guidance into vivid practice of hard work and courage, and constantly promote new progress in the construction of ecological civilization in Jilin.

Comprehensively implement the major strategy of accelerating the construction of an ecologically strong province, coordinate and promote the construction of the "3+1" system of ecological economy, ecological environment, ecological security and ecological civilization system, deeply fight the battle of pollution prevention and control, systematically improve the modernization level of ecological and environmental governance, and move forward firmly along the civilized development path of production development, affluent life and good ecology. Find out the path of green and low-carbon transformation in line with the actual situation in Jilin, and implement a large number of major projects that strengthen the foundation, promote development and benefit the long-term, such as FAW Hongqi New Energy, Jihua 1.2 million tons of ethylene, "Three Gorges of Onshore Scenery" and "Three Gorges of Shanshui Energy Storage". It has shaped the unique advantages of ecological economic development, started the implementation of major agricultural industry projects such as "100 billion catties of grain" and "10 million beef cattle", and strengthened the ecological brand of "Jizihao". Anchoring the goal of a significant leap in the quality of the ecological environment, the "two rivers and one lake" pollution control has achieved practical results, the black soil, the "giant panda in the cultivated land", has been carefully cared for, and Jilin Province has ranked excellent in the national pollution prevention and control effectiveness assessment for three consecutive years.

To be a pioneer in building a beautiful China pilot zone

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that a good ecological environment is a valuable resource for the economic and social development of Northeast China, and it is also an advantage for the revitalization of Northeast China. It is necessary to give priority to the protection of the ecological environment and adhere to green development. We will be at the forefront of the construction of a beautiful China with strong historical, political and ecological consciousness.

The first is to take the lead in scientific planning and layout. The "Outline of the Beautiful Jilin Construction Plan" has been compiled, with the path of green leadership, safe bottoming, strong foundation of black soil, environmental enhancement, promotion of the two mountains, and pluralistic co-governance, and a model area for building an ecological security barrier in northern China with high standards, a national demonstration area for the protection and utilization of black soil, and a leading area for the transformation of lucid waters, green mountains, ice and snow, into gold and silver mountains, and strive to build a pioneer area for the construction of a beautiful China where man and nature coexist in harmony. Firmly grasp the important period of the construction of a beautiful China in the next five years, formulate a five-year action plan for the construction of beautiful Jilin, promote the local practice of the construction of beautiful Jilin according to local conditions and classifications, and strive to transform the beautiful blueprint of "white mountains and pine water, rejuvenating Jilin" into a real scene of blue sky and green land, birds singing and flowers, and making the land of Jilin more colorful.

The second is to take the lead in refreshing the appearance of the ecological environment. Promote the ecological and environmental protection work with a higher position, a wider field of vision, and greater efforts, focus on the implementation of construction projects such as a happy blue sky, charming green water, clean and fertile soil, a healthy environment, and a livable home, and answer the examination questions given by General Secretary Xi Jinping with practical actions and improved results.

The third is to take the lead in building a solid ecological security barrier. It is planned to promote the construction of a strategic support base for ecological security, implement major projects such as integrated protection and restoration of the ecological environment, large-scale land greening, and biodiversity conservation, and improve the important ecological functions of key areas such as forest water conservation in Changbai Mountain and windbreak and sand fixation in the forest and grassland of the Songnen Plain.

Fourth, we should be at the forefront of broadening the transformation path of the "two mountains". A good ecology itself contains infinite economic value, which can continuously create comprehensive benefits and achieve sustainable economic and social development. Firmly grasp the major national development strategic opportunities such as the revitalization of Northeast China and rural revitalization, broaden and smooth the two-way transformation channels of ecological advantages and development advantages, implement a series of projects for the promotion of ecological characteristic brands, the development of eco-tourism products, and the protection of ecological resources, promote the integration of ecological environment, ecological security, and ecological economy, actively explore the construction of ecological society, promote the formation of a green lifestyle, and strive to create a new model and new path for the transformation of the "two mountains" in cold areas.

To be a doer for Jilin's comprehensive revitalization to achieve new breakthroughs

General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection, based on the present and focusing on the future, has profound thoughts and rich connotations, especially the scientific interpretation of the "five major relationships", which further deepens the understanding of the laws of ecological civilization construction. The whole province will translate General Secretary Xi Jinping's instructions and requirements into innovative practices to improve the level of protection, accelerate high-quality development, and achieve comprehensive revitalization.

First, we need to correctly handle the relationship between high-quality development and high-level protection, and take on new responsibilities in accelerating the green transformation of the development mode. The high-level protection of Jilin's ecological environment is an important support for achieving high-quality development. We will fully integrate into the overall situation of Jilin's high-quality development and sustainable revitalization, and implement the "five measures" for the high-quality development of ecological and environmental services. Coordinate the use of institutional means such as zoning control of the ecological environment, planning and project environmental impact assessment, and carbon emission trading, and vigorously promote green and low-carbon transformation. Firmly establish the concept of "project is king", and refine the service guarantee closely with major projects in special classes and secretarial services, so that large projects and good projects can be built as soon as possible. Implement environmental supervision that blends leniency and severity, create a high-quality business environment, and promote high-quality new development.

The second is to correctly handle the relationship between key tackling key problems and coordinated governance, and achieve new progress in improving the level of ecological and environmental protection. Further deepen Jilin's pollution prevention and control, focus on consolidating and expanding the achievements of the blue sky defense campaign, comprehensively improve the quality and efficiency of the clear water defense campaign, and gnaw the "hard bones" of the pure land defense war. Implement the "Ten Actions" for high-level protection and improvement of the ecological environment, and make breakthroughs in key actions such as PM2.5 and O3 dual control and double reduction, straw burning ban, water environment quality improvement and deterioration, rural environmental improvement and speed-up, and the construction of "zero-waste cities" in the whole region. Trending issues.

The third is to correctly handle the relationship between natural restoration and artificial restoration, and reach a new level in improving the security, stability and sustainability of ecosystems. The overall quality of the natural ecosystem is improved by comprehensively using natural restoration and artificial restoration, and a large number of key ecological projects such as the green water corridor, the construction of large water networks, the ecological connection of forests and grasses, and biodiversity conservation are taken as the traction. Through the in-depth implementation of the "Green Shield" action, we will do a good job in the supervision and law enforcement of nature reserves and ecological protection redlines, build an integrated ecological monitoring system of "air, space and ground" in Changbai Mountain, and weave a dense ecological protection supervision network. Gradually form a Jilin plan for the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands, and build a solid foundation for the construction of ecological security in beautiful Jilin.

Fourth, we should correctly handle the relationship between external constraints and endogenous driving forces, and make new breakthroughs in deepening the reform and innovation of the ecological environment. With reform as the starting point, we should do a good job in the combination of rule of law, market, science and technology, and policy, not only to protect the ecological environment with the strictest system and the strictest rule of law, innovate and promote the reform of ecological environmental damage compensation and environmental information disclosure in accordance with the law, and deepen the connection between administrative law enforcement and judicial protection of ecological environmental protection, but also to fully integrate interests into responsibility, promote the market-oriented allocation of resources and environmental elements, carry out in-depth pilot projects of ecological environment-oriented development model, and unblock the channels for complaints and reports from the masses, so that protectors, Contributors have benefited from this, devoted themselves to creating a strong atmosphere of building ecological civilization, and focused on opening a new chapter in the construction of beautiful Jilin.

Fifth, we should correctly handle the relationship between the "dual carbon" commitment and independent action, and show new achievements in playing the role of the overall starting point for carbon reduction. Actively and steadily promoting carbon peak and carbon neutrality is a major strategic decision made by the CPC Central Committee after careful consideration. Firmly grasp the major opportunity of the national "double carbon" strategy, effectively grasp the bull's nose of carbon reduction, deepen the integrated development of clean energy industry and advantageous industries, transform Jilin's advantages in wind and solar resources into green and low-carbon development advantages, improve economic green content, and reduce carbon content. Implement the "double strengthening" action of climate change mitigation and adaptation, promote climate investment and financing pilots and innovative pilots for pollution and carbon reduction, and promote the steady improvement and steady improvement of the quality of the ecological environment through orderly carbon reduction.
