General Secretary Xi Jinping has inspected Gansu twice and face-to-face guidance three times, made important instructions of "eight efforts", put forward "five aspects" work requirements, placed on the earnest entrustment of "building an important ecological security barrier in the western part of the country", and clarified the goal of "accelerating the construction of a happy and beautiful new Gansu with economic development, beautiful mountains and rivers, ethnic unity and social harmony", which pointed out the direction of efforts and provided fundamental guidance for us to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization.

In 2024, the ecological environment system of Gansu Province will be guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, thoroughly implement Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization and the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and instructions on Gansu's important speech, and conscientiously implement the National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection and the National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection. A series of decisions and deployments such as the National Ecological Environment System Work Conference on Comprehensive and Strict Party Management have firmly established the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and strived to promote great progress in various aspects of ecological environmental protection, so as to hand over a more ecologically high-quality "Gansu answer sheet" for the construction of a beautiful China.

First, we will make every effort to be the vanguard and main force in the construction of a beautiful China. Resolutely shoulder the political responsibility of ecological and environmental protection, play the leading role and take the lead in the process of comprehensively promoting the construction of a beautiful China, give full play to the role of the ecological environment department in unified supervision and taking the lead in grasping the overall functions, promote the issuance of implementation opinions on the construction of beautiful Gansu, mobilize the whole society to take active actions and participate extensively, and run the requirements of the construction of a beautiful China through the whole process of planning, policy formulation, project approval, law enforcement and supervision. Adhere to the guidance of scientific and technological innovation, systematically improve the modernization level of the ecological environment governance system and governance capacity, and empower the construction of a beautiful China with science and technology. Give full play to the "sword" role of supervision and law enforcement and the "forced" role of the assessment of the effectiveness of pollution prevention and control, and incorporate key tasks such as blue sky, clear water, and pure land into the scope of supervision and law enforcement and assessment indicators, and further tighten and consolidate the "party and government have the same responsibility, one post and two responsibilities" for ecological and environmental protection, and promote the construction of a "big ecology" work pattern in which the upper and lower sides work together, perform their duties, and work together.

The second is to promote the continuous improvement of environmental quality with higher standards and stricter requirements. Emphasizing precise pollution control, scientific pollution control, and pollution control in accordance with the law, with the construction of a beautiful China as the guide, we will work together to promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and continue to fight the battle to defend the blue sky, clear water, and pure land. Take PM_2.5As the main line, with Lanzhou as the main battlefield, and autumn and winter as the key period, we will scientifically analyze and judge the main causes and weak links of air pollution, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, and take comprehensive measures to fight the battle to defend the blue sky. Guided by the "overall planning of the three waters", we will promote the comprehensive treatment of pollution prevention and control in key river basins such as the Yellow River and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, increase the rectification of sewage outlets into the river, basically eliminate black and odorous water bodies, and fight the battle to defend clear water. From the perspective of safeguarding national security, Gansu has strengthened the control of soil pollution sources, deepened the prevention and control of groundwater pollution and the improvement of the rural environment, and made Gansu's contribution to the in-depth fight to defend the pure land. Strengthen the treatment of solid waste and new pollutants, take the high-quality construction of "zero-waste cities" as the starting point, and promote green and low-carbon transformation and development as a whole.

The third is to promote high-level protection of the ecological environment and high-quality economic development in a coordinated manner. Implement equal or multiple substitution of new pollutants from the EIA access gate, incorporate greenhouse gas emission control into EIA management, introduce market-oriented mechanisms to promote carbon reduction, and make room for high-quality development. Resist the pressure of pollutant emission reduction brought about by the rebound of economic recovery, industrial transfer, and unfavorable meteorological conditions, maintain the strategic determination to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, promote the continuous improvement of environmental quality, and cultivate new economic growth points through the implementation of market-oriented means such as EOD projects (eco-environment-oriented development model) and CCER (Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Trading). Incorporate carbon emission management requirements into the "three lines and one order" ecological environment zoning control system, strictly implement the "three lines and one order" ecological environment zoning control, and promote coordinated control of pollution reduction and carbon reduction from the source of industrial layout.

Fourth, establish a systematic concept to promote the high-quality development of ecological and environmental protection. Balance the relationship between "environmental protection" and "people's livelihood", and focus on solving the problems of the central ecological and environmental protection inspectors, so as to effectively promote the rectification of the inspectors' feedback problems and meet the ardent expectations of the people. Handle the relationship between "part" and "whole", give full play to the leading role of low-carbon cities, clean heating cities in the northern region, and ecological civilization demonstration and creation, and promote the quality and efficiency of the province's ecological civilization construction from point to point. Coordinate the relationship between the "present" and the "long-term", not only based on the current situation, solve the outstanding ecological and environmental problems, but also focus on the long-term root causes, improve the long-term system and mechanism, and build a solid ecological security barrier in the western part of the country. Grasp the relationship between "stability" and "progress", not only to further consolidate the foundation for the continuous improvement of ecological and environmental quality, but also focus on the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and actively innovate the ways, means and ways of ecological and environmental protection to participate in economic governance, so as to help promote the effective improvement of the quality and reasonable growth of the economy, and effectively transform the "results" of pollution prevention and control into the "fruits" of promoting the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and make Gansu's contribution to promoting Chinese-style modernization.
