Wang Zhibin, Director of the Department of Natural Ecology: Strive to write a new chapter in the demonstration construction of ecological civilization
The construction of ecological civilization is a complex system engineering and a long-term strategic task, which needs to be explored in experiments and moved forward in practice. The demonstration construction of ecological civilization is a major decision and deployment of the Party Central Committee to fight the battle of pollution prevention and control, build a beautiful China, and promote the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. It is necessary to deeply grasp its great significance, fully understand its demonstration effect, and continue to make every effort to create a new situation in demonstration construction.
Deeply grasp the great significance of the demonstration construction of ecological civilization
Demonstration construction is an inevitable requirement and an important carrier for the in-depth practice of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has continuously deepened its understanding of the laws of ecological civilization construction, profoundly answered the major theoretical and practical questions of ecological civilization from the strategic height of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and systematically formed Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, which has become the fundamental principle for the construction of a beautiful China. The life of theory is nurtured in practice, and the value of theory is manifested in practice. Transforming the party's innovative theory into practical force is an important magic weapon for promoting the cause of the party and the country from victory to victory. According to the connotation and practical requirements of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, a variety of demonstration construction projects are laid out from different fields and different angles, and Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization is transformed into vivid practice in various places through the combination of national principle guidance and local characteristic exploration, so as to promote the great idea to take root and bear fruit with demonstration construction, and to demonstrate the great power of thought to support the development of thought. On the new journey, we must continue to give full play to the important role of demonstration construction in promoting the transformation of ideology and theory into practical force.
Demonstration construction is the due meaning and basic policy to accelerate the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) made it clear that Chinese modernization is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is the concentrated embodiment of the party's central task in the field of ecological civilization construction on the new journey. As a new task and new requirement, there are still many major theoretical and practical problems to be solved urgently in building a modernization in which man and nature coexist in harmony. In July this year, at the National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection, General Secretary Xi Jinping systematically explained that to promote the construction of ecological civilization, it is necessary to deal with the five major relationships of "high-quality development and high-level protection, key tackling and collaborative governance, natural restoration and artificial restoration, external constraints and endogenous power, and 'dual carbon' commitment and independent action", pointing out the way forward for the new journey. The demonstration construction of ecological civilization pays attention to giving full play to the spirit of local initiative, seeking impetus for reform, vitality for innovation, and ability for the system, and promoting all localities to explore and innovate in solving the theoretical and practical problems of ecological civilization construction through the establishment and improvement of incentive mechanisms, supervision mechanisms, and summary and promotion mechanisms. At the same time, the demonstration construction takes "target responsibility, ecological security, ecological economy, ecological culture, and ecological civilization system" as the task system, and simultaneously promotes high-quality development and high-level protection through the guidance of assessment indicators and planning guidelines, implements the overall layout of the "five-in-one", and provides benchmarking guidance for accelerating the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. On the new journey, we must continue to give full play to the role of demonstration construction in the exploration of reform and set an example.
Demonstration construction is an objective demand and a key move to comprehensively promote the construction of a beautiful China. Building a beautiful China is an important part of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, an important goal of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and a practical orientation for the construction of ecological civilization. It is necessary to promote the full coverage of the construction of a beautiful China according to local conditions and echelons, and it is also necessary to coordinate the relationship between the construction of ecological civilization and economic, political, social and cultural construction, and build a beautiful China in the overall layout of the "five-in-one". The demonstration construction of ecological civilization focuses on geographical units such as river basins and administrative units such as counties and cities, encourages all localities to take the lead in making breakthroughs and demonstrating and leading, builds a solid foundation for the beauty of the whole region with key breakthroughs in regional practice, and drives the realization of a good situation of global beauty with typical regional benchmarks. On the new journey, we must continue to intensify the demonstration construction of ecological civilization, accumulate small victories into big victories, and drive the formation of a good situation of building a beautiful China in an all-round way with demonstration breakthroughs.
Comprehensively understand the demonstration effect of ecological civilization demonstration construction
Since the demonstration construction was launched, it has received strong support and active participation from party committees and governments at all levels, and has achieved remarkable results in improving the quality of the regional ecological environment and improving the level of ecological civilization construction, which has become an important symbol of the "four major changes" in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era, and has provided important support for the historical, turning and overall changes in the construction of ecological civilization.
Take the lead in "reform" and promote the in-depth development of the system and mechanism of ecological civilization. We will make bold reforms in mechanism innovation, system supply, and model exploration, and take the lead in promoting the key tasks of the Party Central Committee and the state's system reform. A series of major systems such as the target responsibility system, the central ecological and environmental protection inspection, the ecological protection red line, and the realization of the value of ecological products will be taken as the assessment content, and the local implementation will be promoted, and a number of practical cases of ecological civilization system reform and mechanism innovation will be formed. For example, Quzhou City in Zhejiang Province took the lead in incorporating "green electricity trading" into the construction of the carbon account system; Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County in Hainan Province innovated the horizontal ecological protection compensation mechanism in the upstream and downstream of the river basin of "basic protection compensation + governance improvement compensation + action reward compensation"; Zixi County in Jiangxi Province took the lead in carrying out a pilot project of forest right compensation and storage guarantee, innovating a new model of forest right financing, and injecting financial water into the development of the forestry industry; Chengdu Jinniu District in Sichuan Province has built a new mechanism for party building to lead multiple participation, and explored a "government, society, and public" co-construction, co-governance and sharing"Taurus Path".
We will demonstrate "carbon reduction" and help the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" be steadily achieved. Actively respond to climate change, take energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions as strong constraints and hard indicators, take the lead in promoting the gradual transformation of "dual control" of energy consumption to "dual control" of carbon emissions at the municipal level, force the creation of regions to optimize and adjust the energy structure, strictly control the construction of "two high" projects, and vigorously implement energy-saving and carbon-reduction technological transformation. For example, the energy intensity and carbon emission intensity of Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province are only 1/3 and 1/5 of the national level; Foshan City, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province and other regions continue to deepen clean energy substitution, and the proportion of wind energy and photovoltaic power generation has steadily increased; Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, has innovated and developed the province's first "carbon measurement" platform for accurate measurement of carbon emissions in the power industry, focusing on promoting real-time monitoring and accurate measurement of carbon emissions.
Take the lead in "pollution reduction" and promote the continuous improvement of the quality of the regional ecological environment. Adhere to precise, scientific and law-based pollution control, fully and successfully complete the goals and tasks of pollution prevention and control, the quality of the ecological environment in the demonstration area continues to improve, the air and water environmental quality are in the forefront of the provinces and regions, and the average proportion of good air days is about 90%, nearly 3% higher than the national average, and the average PM2.5The concentration is 28 micrograms/cubic meter, which is nearly 2 micrograms/cubic meter lower than the national level. For example, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia, has increased the proportion of days with good air quality from 80.3% to 90.1% in just two years, and Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, has achieved 100% of the proportion of excellent sections in the national and provincial examinations through the implementation of the working mechanism of "responsible persons for section standards" after one year of tackling tough problems.
Set a benchmark for "green expansion" and promote the steady improvement of ecosystem diversity, stability and sustainability. Adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands, comprehensively strengthen the supervision of nature reserves and ecological protection redlines, the average forest and grass coverage rate in the demonstration area is about 58%, the ecological quality index is stable and improving, biodiversity has been effectively protected, and the goals and tasks of the protection and restoration of the natural coastline of oceans, rivers and lakes have been successfully completed, the diversity, stability and sustainability of the ecosystem have been steadily improved, and the supply capacity of ecological products has been continuously improved. For example, Burjin County in Xinjiang has actively carried out ecological restoration, adding or renovating more than 180,000 mu of forest and grassland, and sealing 50,000 mu of river valleys, realizing "forest and grass consolidation county"; Jiawang District of Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, has carried out ecological restoration and reconstruction of coal mining subsidence areas, increasing the forest coverage rate from 15.4 percent to 32.5 percent, and building an ecological water network of "ten verticals, five horizontals and one ring", realizing the transformation of a "century-old coal city" into an ecological city.
We will set an example in "growth" and promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. Focusing on the overall promotion of the adjustment and optimization of the industrial structure, transportation structure, and construction land structure, we will accelerate the construction of a waste recycling system and accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of the development mode. The average public transport travel share rate in the demonstration area is 57%, the energy consumption, water consumption, and construction land use area per unit of GDP are basically in the forefront of the provinces and regions where they are located and continue to improve, the comprehensive utilization rate of general industrial solid waste, straw and livestock and poultry manure is more than 90%, and the recovery rate of agricultural film is about 88%, which is better than the national average. Sixteen regions, including Haidian District in Beijing, Shengsi County in Zhejiang, and Laoshan District in Qingdao, Shandong, have reduced their water consumption per unit of GDP to less than 10 cubic meters, ranking among the top in the country; Lishui City in Zhejiang, Wuyishan City in Fujian, Mengyin County in Shandong Province, and a number of other areas with outstanding ecological resource advantages have promoted the emergence of "agriculture +", "culture +", "tourism +" and "finance +" with "ecology +", and enhanced the "gold content" of economic development with ecological "green content".
We will make every effort to create a new situation in the demonstration construction of ecological civilization
Thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection, further strengthen the advanced, leading and sustainable nature of the demonstration construction of ecological civilization, strive to create a model for the construction of a beautiful China at different levels and in different fields, and promote the demonstration construction to a new level.
Adhere to the system concept, strengthen the top-level design, and improve the ecological civilization demonstration construction system. Further strengthen the top-level design, clarify and clarify the construction orientation and requirements of the ecological civilization construction demonstration zone oriented by all-round promotion of construction, the construction orientation and requirements of the "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" practice and innovation bases, ecological industrial parks, national organic food production bases, beautiful rivers and lakes, beautiful bays and other projects with the characteristics of various fields, and form a mutually focused and mutually reinforcing ecological civilization construction pattern. At the same time, we will strengthen the policy linkage between various projects, form a joint force of the demonstration construction system, and strive to build a modern demonstration model cluster for the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
Adhere to local conditions, improve construction standards, and encourage excellence. Fully implement the new requirements and new deployments for the construction of ecological civilization, organically connect with various major national strategic tasks, study and revise the demonstration construction indicators and selection criteria in a timely and timely manner, not only grasp the advancedness, but also reflect the differences in resource endowments and development positioning in different regions, refine and deepen the differences in construction orientation and indicators in different fields and at different levels, and constantly broaden the path of transforming lucid waters and lush mountains into gold and silver mountains, and encourage demonstration creation to transform from standard creation to improvement and excellence.
Adhere to a high-standard position, strengthen dynamic supervision, and continue to play a leading role. Strengthen the guidance and supervision of the whole process of demonstration construction, insist on highlighting key points, encourage exploration, give full play to the role of relevant provincial departments in guiding and supervising the creation process, guide and guide the creation of areas to promote construction, and actively enter the demonstration construction sequence. Strengthen the responsibility of self-assessment and self-supervision in the creation of regions, strengthen daily supervision, annual assessment and review assessment, strengthen annual assessment and review assessment, give warnings or revoke titles to places where ecological and environmental damage incidents occur and the quality of the ecological environment declines according to serious circumstances, and improve the "red and yellow card" exit system to ensure that it continues to play a leading role.
Adhere to publicity and promotion, summarize and condense achievements, and deeply promote Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization. Summarize and condense typical practices and successful experiences in a timely manner, increase the publicity of achievements, and display and recommend excellent practice cases in various demonstration construction projects such as the ecological civilization construction demonstration zone and the "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" practice innovation base by organizing large-scale theme interviews, shooting promotional videos, publishing books, and carrying out publicity activities, and actively use the "Belt and Road", the Convention on Biological Diversity and other relevant bilateral and multilateral occasions to conduct multi-level, Comprehensively publicize the practical achievements of Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization, and provide Chinese solutions and wisdom for the construction of ecological civilization.
