Compared with 2013, the average annual concentration of PM2.5 has dropped by about 60%, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei ecological and environmental protection has been coordinated for ten years to promote the construction of the Beautiful China Pilot Zone
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China first proposed to build a beautiful China, the construction of a beautiful China has experienced a comprehensive promotion to the construction of the pilot zone in the past ten years, on February 26, 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Beijing and delivered an important speech, and the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has risen to a major national strategy. In the past ten years, ecological and environmental protection has been one of the three key areas for the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and Beijing has delivered a brilliant report card. At the beginning of the new year, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment held a press conference in the new office area of the sub-center of the city, showing the beautiful butterfly changes in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei synergy in the past ten years with a set of data and cases.
The quality of the regional ecological environment has improved simultaneously
Ten years of hard work, ten years of butterfly changes, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has achieved remarkable results in improving the quality of the ecological environment, from the starry shadow, the river water is black and smelly, to the blue sky, clear water and green banks, the blue sky and clear water from the "luxury" to the "common product", the people's sense of ecological environment gain, happiness has been greatly improved.
According to the data provided at the press conference, by the end of 2023, the average annual concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has decreased by about 60% compared with 2013, and the number of heavy pollution days has been greatly reduced and the number of good days has increased significantly. Among them, the annual average concentration of fine particulate matter PM2.5 in Beijing is 32 micrograms/cubic meter, which has reached the standard for three consecutive years, and the blue sky background is purer and the gold content is more sufficient, which has become the most rewarding fact for the general public.
"Over the years, Beijing has thoroughly implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech to Beijing, the environmental benefits of various measures for air pollution control have continued to be released, the concentration of major pollutants in the air has shown a long-term overall downward trend, and the air quality has been fundamentally improved. In addition to working their own, it is inseparable from the strong leadership, command and dispatch of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, as well as the joint efforts and coordinated governance of surrounding brother provinces and cities. Xie Jinkai, deputy director of the atmospheric environment department of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, briefed reporters at the press conference on the coordinated control of air pollution in the three places in the past ten years.
In September 2013, the State Council issued the Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution, proposing the establishment of a coordination mechanism for air pollution prevention and control in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Beijing has taken the lead in establishing a coordination mechanism for air pollution prevention and control in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas to promote resource sharing, shared responsibilities and mutual support. Thoroughly implement the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy, the ecological and environmental departments of the three places have resonated at the same frequency and played a game of chess, gradually improved the coordination mechanism, jointly carried out joint legislation, unified planning, unified standards, and coordinated pollution control, jointly carried out autumn and winter air pollution attack actions for many years, unified heavy pollution early warning and grading standards, regularly carried out forecast consultations, formulated and revised emergency plans for heavy air pollution, and coordinated response to heavy pollution weather, so as to realize the "peak shaving and speed reduction" of the regional heavy air pollution process, and promote the simultaneous improvement of air quality.
"Miyun Reservoir is an important source of surface drinking water and a strategic reserve base for water resources in Beijing. The Miyun Reservoir basin spans Beijing and Hebei provinces, of which Beijing accounts for about a quarter of the basin area, mainly involving Miyun District, Huairou District and Yanqing District, and Hebei Province accounts for about three-quarters, mainly involving Zhangjiakou City and Chengde City. In August 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a letter to the villagers who built and guarded the Miyun Reservoir, emphasizing that the Miyun Reservoir, as an important source of surface drinking water and a strategic reserve base for water resources in Beijing, has become a priceless treasure. He Zhi, deputy director of the Water Ecology and Environment Division of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, introduced the regional collaborative protection work of the Miyun Reservoir Basin.
Since 2018, the Beijing Municipal Government and the Hebei Provincial Government have signed and implemented the Agreement on Horizontal Ecological Protection and Compensation for the Water Conservation Area of the Chaobai River Basin in the Upper Reaches of the Miyun Reservoir, which is the first inter-provincial agreement in the country to compensate for water quality and quantity, providing an important demonstration for the establishment of horizontal compensation in the water-scarce areas in the north, and in 2022, the Beijing Municipal Government and the Hebei Provincial Government signed and implemented a new round of compensation agreement. In 2019, the General Office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, together with the General Office of the Beijing Municipal Government and the General Office of the Hebei Provincial Government, jointly issued and implemented the Comprehensive Plan for Ecological and Environmental Protection of the Chaohe River Basin (2019-2025), which is the first cross-provincial river basin plan jointly formulated and implemented by the state and local governments with the protection of the Miyun Reservoir as the core. In the past four years since the implementation of the plan, the water conservation capacity of the basin and the self-purification capacity of the river have been continuously improved.
The water environment of the three places has completely eliminated inferior Class V sections, and the proportion of excellent water quality in the national surface water assessment sections has dynamically met the requirements of the national target of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Among them, Beijing Miyun Reservoir and Huairou Yanqi Lake were selected as excellent cases of beautiful rivers and lakes in China, and the natural beauty of "clear water and green banks, fish flying shallow bottom" has gradually been integrated into the lives of citizens.
The joint construction and joint prevention and management of the ecological environment have been continuously expanded and deepened
"Over the past ten years, the ecological and environmental law enforcement departments of the three places have established a working mechanism for environmental law enforcement, from the traditional 'each sweeping the snow before the door' to working together and seeking a win-win situation, the three places have continuously promoted the law enforcement linkage to go deeper and more practical, and effectively strengthened the law enforcement and supervision of pollution sources at the regional junction. Feng Zhijun, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Beijing Municipal Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Law Enforcement Corps, briefed reporters on the coordinated law enforcement of the three.
In 2015, the environmental protection departments of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei formally established a linkage working mechanism for environmental law enforcement, and in 2019, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei linkage law enforcement level was established to establish a linkage working mechanism for ecological and environmental law enforcement between neighboring counties, districts and cities, and in 2021, taking the comprehensive law enforcement reform as an opportunity, the three places further improved the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei environmental law enforcement linkage working mechanism, adding three systems of clue transfer, publicity exposure and "whistle-blowing", of which the "whistle-blowing" system clarified that for major environmental violations found at the junction, they will be activated when they are found in one placeThe "whistle-blowing" system, and the other two places "report" in a timely manner to carry out investigation and punishment work, and carry out law enforcement linkage at any time.
The three places have successively signed and implemented the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development of Ecological and Environmental Protection Takes the Lead in Breakthrough Cooperation Framework Agreement" and the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Ecological Environment Joint Construction and Joint Prevention and Management Framework Agreement during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period", and improved more than 10 collaborative working mechanisms, including joint prevention and control of air pollution, joint protection and joint management of key river basins, information sharing, law enforcement linkage, joint emergency drills for water environmental emergencies, environmental impact assessment consultations, petition reporting, and compensation for ecological and environmental damages. In 2023, to implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech on further promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the three places will jointly establish a special working group on Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei ecological synergy, formulate and implement two batches of a total of 44 in-depth and practical measures, and the nine departments of ecological environment, water affairs, and landscaping in the three places will work together to coordinate the management of the "big environmental protection" system of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand.
Under the coordination mechanism, Beijing has taken the lead in achieving a basically coal-free plain area, and has gradually expanded the "coal-to-electricity" project to residents in mountainous areas, with 93% of villages and 96% of rural households achieving clean heating; Implement the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei ecological and environmental law enforcement linkage working mechanism, and 10 far suburbs and adjacent cities and counties will focus on the border areas to strictly investigate ecological and environmental violations, so as to achieve "one whistle blowing and three responses". From "APEC Blue" and "Winter Olympics Blue" to "Beijing Blue", the blue sky is permanent.
The low-carbon ledger of the three places is getting thicker and thicker
The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region unswervingly implements the new development concept and promotes high-quality economic development with high-level ecological and environmental protection. Actively promote the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei fuel cell vehicle demonstration city cluster, jointly study and compile the "Technical Specifications for Carbon Emission Reduction Accounting for Low-carbon Travel", and promote the interconnection of regional carbon inclusive projects. In 2023, Beijing ranked first in the national low-carbon pilot city construction assessment, and the carbon dioxide emissions of 10,000 yuan of GDP in Beijing have maintained the best level in the country for many years. Daxing District will make every effort to promote the construction of an international hydrogen energy demonstration zone, and strive to create a golden business card of "New Country, New Daxing". The Shunyi District Automobile Manufacturing Industry Cleaner Production Audit Innovation Pilot Project was selected as one of the first batch of national cleaner production audit innovation pilot projects. Chaoyang District, Daxing District, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, and Chaoyang District Circular Economy Industrial Park were selected as the first batch of national collaborative innovation pilots for pollution reduction and carbon reduction in cities and industrial parks.
In order to build and consolidate the ecological security barrier of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Beijing has always firmly established and practiced the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and promulgated and implemented the "Regulations on Ecological Protection and Green Development of Ecological Conservation Areas in Beijing", so that important ecological spaces can be strictly protected, and important ecosystems and habitats can be effectively protected; Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", among which 5 global ecological conservation areas have won the "double title", and the road of "ecological priority and green development" is getting wider and wider. Mentougou District continues to deepen joint prevention and control and coordinated co-governance with Zhuolu County in Hebei Province and other areas around Beijing, and explores the construction of a large-scale spatial pattern of biodiversity conservation.
Li Zhe, captain of the Ecological Environment Comprehensive Law Enforcement Brigade of Daxing District, Beijing, introduced a green and low-carbon development case in Beijing to reporters: "Daxing International Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Zone is currently the largest hydrogen energy industry gathering place in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and the first and second phases of the southern area of Daxing International Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Zone have been officially put into use, gathering more than 190 hydrogen energy industry enterprises, focusing on the production, storage, transportation and transportation of hydrogen and building energy, three industrial chain reserve projects 490, and the output value of hydrogen energy industry increased by 86% year-on-year. The world's largest gas-based hydrogen refueling station, the Haipel Hydrogen Refueling Station, has been built, and the cumulative number of fuel cell vehicles has exceeded 900. In 2023, the first China Fuel Cell Vehicle Conference will be successfully held, and the "Action Initiative for Building China's Hydrogen Energy High-speed Action" will be released to accelerate the construction of a hydrogen high-speed network based on the five demonstration city agglomerations of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhengzhou and Hebei. At present, 7 hydrogen energy high-speed demonstration lines have been released, and good demonstration operation results have been achieved. ”
The world is to the east, Beijing is to the south, the word "Daxing" means beautiful, is a noun, a verb, and an adjective. In the future, Daxing will continue to maintain the good momentum of "looking at Daxing from the wind and water", promote the construction of "ecological Daxing", let the high-level protection of the ecological environment support the high-quality development of the new Daxing and new countries, and contribute surging momentum to the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
The green "two wings" of coordinated development are flying higher and higher
The construction of two new cities in Beijing's urban sub-center and Hebei Xiong'an New Area to form Beijing's new "two wings" is an important component of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, a millennium plan and a major national event.
The sub-center of Beijing is speeding up the construction of a national green development demonstration zone. Focusing on the six core elements of green industry, green energy, green transportation, green building, green ecology and green culture, we will build a solid foundation for high-quality development. Under the guidance of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the construction of a national voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction (CCER) trading institution with high standards has been officially launched. It was successfully selected as one of the first batch of national climate investment and financing pilots, and a climate investment and financing project library was initially established. Joining hands with the integrated and high-quality development of the three northern counties, six sewage treatment plants in Yanjiao and Sanhe have been constructed and operated in accordance with local standards in Beijing.
Beijing fully supports the construction of the ecological environment in the Xiong'an New Area. Establish a working mechanism for the prevention and control of water pollution in cross-provincial (municipal) rivers in the Baiyangdian Basin, Beijing and Hebei will jointly promote the water pollution control of the Daqing River Basin in the upper reaches of Baiyangdian, and Fangshan District and Baoding City will jointly carry out law enforcement inspections to jointly ensure the water quality of the Baiyangdian River.
When General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected and presided over the symposium on in-depth promotion of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei in Hebei, he emphasized that "we should promote various tasks with a more energetic and promising mental state, and promote the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to a new level", marking that the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has entered a new stage of comprehensive deepening and expansion, and has pointed out the direction of progress and provided fundamental guidance for promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.
In the future, Beijing will thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the Symposium on Deepening the Coordinated Development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and the spirit of the National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection.
