As the "vanguard" and "main force" of ecological and environmental protection in the whole region, we will deeply study and implement Xi Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, firmly establish and practice the development concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and ice and snow are also invaluable assets", systematically plan and promote the ecological and environmental protection work of the new journey with a higher position, wider vision and greater efforts, and strive to draw a new picture of beautiful Xinjiang.
Deeply understand the great power of thought, and resolutely shoulder the political responsibility for the construction of ecological civilization
The Xinjiang Conference on Ecological Environmental Protection and Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Desertification is a high-standard and high-standard meeting convened by the Party Committee of the Autonomous Region after in-depth research and scientific planning. The meeting fully implemented the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, deeply implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi's important speeches and relevant important instructions at major conferences such as the National Conference on Ecological Environmental Protection, completely and accurately implemented the new development concept and the party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era, deeply analyzed the current situation facing the construction of ecological civilization in the whole region, and systematically planned and deployed the ecological environmental protection of the whole region. The work of comprehensive prevention and control of desertification has sounded the clarion call for better building a beautiful Xinjiang on the new journey of Chinese-style modernization, further unified thinking, gathered consensus, and strengthened the confidence and determination to do a good job in ecological and environmental protection.
In-depth study Xi comprehend the great significance and rich connotation of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has regarded the construction of ecological civilization as a fundamental plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and has promoted the construction of ecological civilization from theory to practice has undergone historic, turning and overall changes. In the magnificent practice of ecological civilization construction, Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought has been formed, which provides a fundamental guideline for the construction of ecological civilization in the new era. In July 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the National Conference on Ecological Environmental Protection and delivered an important speech, clearly proposing that China's ecological civilization construction in the new era will achieve "four major changes", and that continuing to promote the construction of ecological civilization on the new journey needs to handle the "five major relationships", systematically deploying the "six major tasks" to comprehensively promote the construction of a beautiful China, clearly putting forward "a major requirement" for adhering to and strengthening the party's overall leadership, and realizing the innovative development of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought on the basis of practice. We must consciously be firm believers, active communicators, and faithful practitioners of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, bravely take responsibility, move forward steadfastly, and strive to better build a beautiful Xinjiang on the new journey of Chinese-style modernization.
In-depth study Xi comprehension of the CPC Central Committee's ardent expectations for the construction of ecological civilization in Xinjiang
General Secretary Xi Jinping is very concerned about the construction of Xinjiang's ecological environmental protection, and when he inspected Xinjiang in 2014, he pointed out that Xinjiang's ecological environmental protection should grasp the "bull's nose" of water, and make overall plans to do a good job in water conservation, water storage, and water transfer; During his visit to Xinjiang in July 2022, he further emphasized that it is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between economic and social development and ecological and environmental protection, adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands, promote ecological priority and green development, fight the battle against pollution in depth, strictly abide by the red line of ecological protection, and build a beautiful Xinjiang. On August 26 this year, when General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Xinjiang again after one year to listen to the work reports of the regional party committee and the XPCC, he further put forward important requirements for strengthening the protection of the ecological environment in the military areas. The spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches and important instructions is highly ideological, guiding and pertinent, which is the concrete embodiment of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought in Xinjiang, and provides us with general compliance, general basis and general guidance for promoting the construction of ecological civilization in Xinjiang. We must keep in mind the entrustment, be grateful and forge ahead, and continue to make efforts to comprehensively learn, grasp and implement the Xi in an all-round way, so as to achieve practical results in building a beautiful Xinjiang, defend the "two establishments" and practice the "two safeguards".
In-depth study Xi comprehension of the autonomous region's party committee's firm determination to build ecological civilization
The new leadership of the party committee of the autonomous region has put the construction of ecological civilization in a more prominent position, and all the plenary sessions have specifically emphasized the work of ecological environmental protection, and held important meetings such as the autonomous region's ecological civilization construction and ecological environmental protection and the central ecological environmental protection inspector and rectification staff conference, and the region's ecological environmental protection and comprehensive desertification prevention and control conference, and put forward a complete, accurate and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept, focusing on building a modern industrial system supported by the "eight major industrial clusters", scientific development and utilization of water resources, A series of strategic measures, such as the prevention and control of air pollution in key areas, have grasped the main contradiction of Xinjiang's ecological and environmental protection. The main responsible persons of the party and government of the autonomous region have repeatedly held meetings of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, the Xinjiang Environmental Protection Committee, the Standing Committee of the Government, and special meetings to study and deploy key tasks of ecological environmental protection, coordinate and solve major problems, and issue a series of important documents to promote Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought to take root in Xinjiang. On November 29, Ma Xingrui, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Autonomous Region, went to the Autonomous Region's Ecological Environment Monitoring Station to investigate and guide the prevention and control of air pollution, "check the pulse" of relevant problems, and put forward countermeasures scientifically and accurately. Under the strong leadership of the party committee and government of the autonomous region, we must carry out all aspects of ecological and environmental protection with firm confidence, and strive to promote the construction of a beautiful Xinjiang with bluer skies, greener mountains, and cleaner water.
In-depth study Xi comprehension of the strategic deployment requirements for strengthening the construction of ecological civilization in Xinjiang
To promote the construction of ecological civilization in Xinjiang on the new journey, the key is to fully implement Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thinking in accordance with the deployment requirements of the region-wide conference on ecological environmental protection and comprehensive desertification prevention and control, combine theme education, deeply implement the spirit of the national ecological environmental protection conference, strengthen desertification prevention and control and promote the "three north" project and other key ecological project construction forums, deeply implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech and important instructions, and focus on the strategic goal of building a beautiful Xinjiang. We will work hard for a long time and support high-quality development with high-level protection. It is necessary to pay close attention to key areas, key regions and key links, resolutely fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, and make overall plans to promote the rectification of the central ecological and environmental protection supervision problems; it is necessary to solidly promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the development mode and build an ecological economic system with Xinjiang characteristics; it is necessary to scientifically implement ecological environmental protection and restoration, and strive to improve the diversity, stability and sustainability of the ecosystem; it is necessary to adhere to the integrated promotion of desertification prevention and control, and constantly consolidate and deepen the "three norths" Project achievements; It is necessary to firmly establish the overall national security concept and guard the bottom line of ecological security in the construction of a beautiful Xinjiang; it is necessary to do a good job in all-round support, improve and improve the guarantee system for the construction of a beautiful Xinjiang; it is necessary to uphold and strengthen the party's overall leadership, strengthen the implementation of responsibilities, and ensure that all deployment requirements are implemented and effective.
Accurately grasp the requirements of the situation, and strengthen the confidence and determination to do a good job in ecological environmental protection
In recent years, under the correct leadership of the party committee and government of the autonomous region, the ecological environment system of the whole region has deeply implemented Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, firmly established and practiced the concept that lucid water and lush mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, deeply grasped the relationship between high-level protection and high-quality development, and made every effort to promote pollution prevention and control in depth, continuously improving the quality of the ecological environment, and making the sky bluer, the mountains greener, and the water clearer in Xinjiang.
In terms of environmental pollution prevention and control, we adhere to the principle of precise pollution control, scientific pollution control, and pollution control in accordance with the law, strive to solve the deep-seated contradictions touched by pollution prevention and control, and earnestly fight landmark battles such as blue sky, clear water, and pure land. Focusing on areas such as "Wu-Chang-Shi", we will strengthen the coordinated control of multiple pollutants and regional joint prevention and control, and actively and effectively respond to heavily polluted weather. In 2022, the proportion of days with good air quality increased by 9.8 percentage points compared with 2018, the proportion of heavily polluted days decreased by 1.9 percentage points, and the average concentration of PM2.5 decreased by 31.5% compared with 2018. From January to November this year, the number of good days in the "Wu-Chang-Shi" area increased by 0.8% year-on-year, PM2.5 decreased by 2.4% year-on-year, and the number of heavily polluted days decreased by 0.8% year-on-year. Strict management of water quality targets in key rivers and lakes and reservoirs, continuous strengthening of water source protection, remediation of black and odorous water bodies, and the proportion of excellent water quality in the state-controlled surface water assessment section in 2022 will reach 95.9%. Solidly carry out the battle to defend the pure land, effectively control the environmental risks of soil and groundwater, and ensure the overall stability of soil environmental quality in the whole region.
In terms of serving high-quality development, we have taken the initiative to change our thinking, actively integrate into the overall situation of economic and social development, and support high-quality economic development with high-level protection. Strictly implement the "three lines and one order" zoning control system, continue to optimize the EIA approval service, change 80% of the EIA report form items to record management, implement the EIA approval positive list system and the notification and commitment system for approval, establish the EIA approval "three ledgers" and green channel mechanism, and fully support the green development of the "eight major industrial clusters". Since 2018, a total of 1,181 projects have been approved at the department level, 99 planning EIAs have been reviewed, and 1,453 projects have been approved under the EIA notification and commitment system. Actively participate in the construction of the national carbon emission trading market, establish and improve a long-term mechanism for carbon emission data quality management, and actively respond to climate change.
In terms of ecological protection and restoration, we have always regarded the ecological protection red line as the bottom line and lifeline, solidly promoted the strengthening of supervision of the "Green Shield" nature reserves, and strictly investigated and dealt with all kinds of violations of laws and regulations that encroach on and destroy nature reserves. Actively promote the restoration of the area of the Kashan Nature Reserve to its original state, all mining development activities have been withdrawn, and the suitable habitat for desert ungulate wildlife has been restored. A total of 11 demonstration zones for ecological civilization construction and 4 practice and innovation bases of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" have been established in the region, further broadening the path of transforming lucid waters and lush mountains into invaluable assets.
In terms of solving environmental problems, we insist on taking the rectification of the central ecological and environmental protection inspection as a political task, comprehensively consolidate the responsibility for rectification, and vigorously and orderly promote the rectification work. Up to now, the first round of feedback from the central environmental protection inspectors has been basically completed, and the second round of 56 feedback problems is steadily advancing. In-depth promotion of the autonomous region's ecological and environmental protection inspectors, the completion of 9 prefecture (prefecture, city) inspection tasks, effectively solve a number of outstanding ecological and environmental problems around the masses. These achievements have benefited from the strong leadership and care of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the Party Central Committee; the correct leadership and strong will of the party committee and government of the autonomous region; the concerted efforts and cooperation of all localities and departments; and the mutual assistance, joint construction and sharing of all sectors of society.
At the same time, we are also soberly aware that there are still some contradictions and difficulties and challenges in the current construction of ecological civilization, mainly: Xinjiang's environmental capacity is limited and the ecosystem is fragile. The trend pressure has not been fundamentally alleviated; the concept of green development is not firm enough, and the overall planning of high-level protection and high-quality development of the ecological environment is not in place; the historical arrears of environmental protection have not been paid off, and the foundation for the stability and improvement of the quality of the ecological environment is not solid; the total amount of pollutants and carbon emissions in key areas is still high, and the pressure to improve air quality is still great; the mechanism of ecological and environmental protection is not perfect, and the overall synergy of ecological and environmental governance needs to be strengthened. The improvement of the quality of the ecological environment cannot be achieved overnight, and the construction of ecological civilization is still a process that requires long-term and arduous efforts.
Focus on key tasks and build a beautiful Xinjiang where man and nature coexist in harmony
On the new journey, we will firmly implement Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, fully implement the strategic deployment of beautiful Xinjiang construction, correctly handle the "five major relationships", focus on key tasks and continue to make efforts, and make new contributions to building a beautiful Xinjiang where man and nature coexist in harmony.
Adhere to dialectical thinking, and scientifically coordinate the relationship between environmental protection and development
Deeply understand that high-quality development and high-level protection are complementary and mutually reinforcing. On the one hand, it is necessary to take the principle of not reducing the ecological function, not reducing the area, and not changing the nature, taking the quality of the ecological environment as the bottom line, and not breaking through the carrying capacity of natural resources as the requirement, implement the "three lines and one single" ecological environment zoning control, strictly control the access to the ecological environment, and resolutely curb the blind launch of the "two high and one low" projects and the green channel mechanism to fully support the green development of the "eight major industrial clusters". Accelerate the implementation of major projects such as ecological and environmental infrastructure construction, innovate and promote the eco-environment-oriented development (EOD) model, and vigorously develop ecological and environmental protection industries. Actively participate in the construction of the national carbon emission trading market and create a fair and orderly market environment.

Conscientiously implement the "Implementation Opinions on Further Strengthening the Conservation of Biodiversity in the Autonomous Region", accelerate the construction of a monitoring system for biodiversity conservation, and gradually promote the implementation of major projects for biodiversity conservation. Adhere to the bottom-line thinking, pay close attention to high-risk areas such as hazardous waste, tailings ponds, chemicals, heavy metals, and key rivers, strengthen hidden danger investigation, monitoring and early warning, risk prevention and control, and emergency response, improve the efficiency of nuclear and radiation safety supervision, and firmly guard the bottom line of safety in beautiful Xinjiang.
We will continue to expand and innovate and accelerate the construction of a modern environmental governance system
Continue to advance the establishment of the rule of law in the ecological environment, do a good job in the formulation and revision of relevant laws and regulations, and lay the foundation for controlling pollution in accordance with the law. Solidly carry out the "large-scale military training" of ecological and environmental law enforcement, focus on key areas such as "Wu-Chang-Shi", strengthen joint law enforcement by soldiers and localities, and cross-law enforcement in different places, and promote the standardization of institutions, the modernization of equipment, the specialization of teams, and the institutionalization of management. Promote the implementation of the "Wu-Chang-Shi" regional atmospheric environment supervision capacity improvement project, and gradually establish an autonomous region-level comprehensive monitoring and dispatching system, a key regional and county-level refined emission reduction system, and a key enterprise refined supervision system, so as to achieve precise scheduling and refined management. Actively strive for the support of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's talent flexibility to aid Xinjiang, give full play to the role of Xinjiang Science and Technology Innovation Center with the Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, promote the implementation of the cooperation agreement with the Guangdong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, deepen exchanges and cooperation with CECEP Group, and strengthen in-depth research and problem research in pollution prevention and control with the help of superior team strength. Actively promote the "second half" of the reform of the vertical management system for monitoring, supervision, and law enforcement.
Strengthen the party's leadership and ensure that all deployment requirements are effective
The construction of ecological civilization is a long-term strategic task and a complex system project, and the party's leadership must be comprehensively adhered to and strengthened. We must strictly implement the "party and government have the same responsibility" and "one post has two responsibilities" for ecological and environmental protection, establish an implementation system and implementation mechanism for the construction of a beautiful Xinjiang, and organize and carry out effectiveness evaluation. We should continue to strengthen and improve the style of work, vigorously promote the style of investigation and research, find out the deep-seated problems that affect the quality of the ecological environment, grasp the key links of "taking a trigger and moving the whole body", study and put forward targeted countermeasures, and do a good job in the implementation of various tasks in the spirit of nailing. We will continue to deepen and consolidate the achievements of thematic education, and strive to build an iron army of ecological and environmental protection with strong politics, high skills and hard work style.
People do not live up to Qingshan, and Qingshan will not live up to people. We will unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, fully implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee on the construction of ecological civilization and the work requirements of the Party Committee and the government of the autonomous region, persistently strengthen the protection of the ecological environment, make green the most distinct, thick and reliable background color of the beautiful Xinjiang, and make new contributions to the practice of Chinese-style modern Xinjiang in which man and nature coexist in harmony.
