Ningxia sounded a new clarion call for the construction of ecological civilization on a new journey
Ningxia actively practices the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and has achieved remarkable results in the construction of a beautiful Ningxia. The picture shows the Yinchuan section of the Yellow River, full of new green, and the south of the Yangtze River is becoming more and more beautiful.
The Ningxia ecological environment system organized the study of the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 13th Party Committee of the Autonomous Region
Ecological environmental protection is not only the "great power of the country", but also the "great plan of the province" for the high-quality development of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Ningxia has unswervingly adhered to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, practiced the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, planned and promoted the construction of a beautiful Ningxia with a higher position, a wider vision and greater efforts, and accelerated the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
From the land of Ningxia from "yellow" to "green", to the Ningxia section of the main stream of the Yellow River to maintain Class II water quality for 6 consecutive years, the proportion of days with good air quality in cities above the prefecture level in Ningxia has remained above 83% for 7 consecutive years, the construction of 156 acres of polluted cultivated land heavy metal prevention and control model demonstration area has been completed, and the safe utilization rate of polluted cultivated land has reached 100%, and then it has become the first province and region in the country to "people enter the sand and retreat" and "forest enters the sand and green"... The great changes in Ningxia have greatly enhanced the public's sense of gain, happiness and security, and the construction of ecological civilization in the whole region has made historic achievements.
Ningxia is not only the only province in the country that belongs to the Yellow River Basin and the "Three Norths" project construction area, but also an ecologically fragile area, economically underdeveloped area, and ethnic region with a high degree of coupling of the "three regions". It plays an important role in comprehensively improving the level of ecological civilization construction, accelerating the construction of a beautiful China, serving the strategic adjustment of the national energy structure, and helping the green and low-carbon development of the whole country.
No matter from the perspective of the overall situation of the whole country or from the perspective of its own development, the implementation of the ecological priority strategy and the creation of a good ecological environment are by no means a matter of Ningxia alone, but related to the overall situation of national ecological and environmental protection. Based on the overall ecological situation of the country, the overall situation of the Yellow River Basin, and the regional ecological pattern, Ningxia integrates the construction of beautiful Ningxia into the construction of a beautiful China, resolutely shoulders its responsibilities and missions, and has the courage to take responsibility and add color to the whole country.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 13th Committee of the Communist Party of China Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region held in September this year focused on the study and deployment of ecological and environmental protection work. This meeting is the first time in the history of Ningxia in the form of a plenary session to study and deploy the construction of ecological civilization in a high-level manner, and deliberated and adopted the "Opinions on In-depth Study and Implementation of the Spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's Important Speech, Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of Ecological Civilization on the New Journey, and Accelerating the Construction of Beautiful Ningxia" and four special documents on environmental remediation, ecological restoration, green development, and organizational guarantee, namely the "1+4" series of documents, which determined the main goals of the "three key nodes" in 2027, 2035 and the middle of the 21st century, and clearly laid a good foundation The key tasks of the "Nine Great Wars" have set up the "four beams and eight pillars" of the region's ecological civilization construction with more practical measures, made a long-term and strategic top-level design for the region's ecological civilization construction, and drawn a beautiful "panorama" of Ningxia with blue sky, green land and beautiful water.
Formulate the "task book" for the construction of beautiful Ningxia and make every effort to fight the "Nine Major Battles"
The "Nine Battles" are the nine key tasks of the construction of beautiful Ningxia, namely, the overall battle of green transformation, the battle of pollution prevention and control, the battle of sand prevention and control, the battle of protection and restoration system, the protracted battle of steady carbon reduction, the breakthrough battle of institutional innovation, the battle of ecological security protection, the protracted battle of environmental protection, and the coordinated battle of basic support.
The arid and semi-arid areas account for 91 percent, with an average annual precipitation of 268 mm, far less than the national average of 632 mm, and more than 50 percent of the regions have an annual precipitation of less than 200 mm. Fighting the "Nine Wars" is crucial to improving the diversity, stability and sustainability of the ecosystem. Fighting the "Nine Great Wars" is also the way to realize the construction of beautiful Ningxia.
Fight the overall battle of green transformation. In the final analysis, the problem of ecological environment is a problem of the mode of economic development. In view of the problems of heavy industrial structure, coal-biased energy structure, tight water resources, high carbon and electricity consumption, and "mass production, large consumption, and large emissions", Ningxia has made specific arrangements and deployments from five aspects, including optimizing the development pattern of land space, accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of industries, and promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of transportation. For example, Ningxia has not only made new moves in "cultivation", proposed to carry out green actions, but also made practical moves in "transformation", proposed to implement cleaner production level improvement projects for traditional industries, and also made hard moves in "elimination", and proposed to promote the orderly withdrawal of backward production capacity in ferroalloy, calcium carbide, cement and other industries in accordance with laws and regulations.
Fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control. In recent years, Ningxia has effectively suppressed smoot, dust and haze, removed black and odorous water bodies, and the momentum of environmental pollution has been significantly curbed, but the environmental debt for many years will not be solved overnight. For example, under the influence of unfavorable meteorological conditions such as sand and dust, high temperature, high humidity, and static stability, heavy pollution weather occurs from time to time in winter and spring; there are hidden dangers of water pollution in some key drainage ditches, a large amount of general industrial solid waste is generated, and agricultural non-point source pollution points are many and wide. In this regard, Ningxia proposes to continue to fight the battle to defend the blue sky, strengthen the prevention and control of the source in key areas and key industries, and the "four dusts" in the same treatment; continue to fight the battle of clear water, focusing on water resources, water environment, and water ecology, and carry out the "five waters" co-governance; continue to fight the battle of defending the pure land, and implement the "six wastes" joint management of construction waste and domestic waste.
Do a good job in the battle of sand prevention and control. Ningxia is surrounded by sand on three sides, and the tasks of sand prevention and control and desertification control are arduous. Ningxia proposes to speed up the promotion of scientific planting and greening, promote the consolidation and upgrading of the north, the expansion of the central part of the country, and the protection of green culverts in the south; promote the prevention and control of desertification and the comprehensive transformation and utilization of saline-alkali land to promote the harmony of people and sand; comprehensively strengthen soil and water conservation, adhere to the principle of prevention first, supervision first, and governance first, and strive to do the same thing every year, make great changes in five years, and step up in ten years. Ningxia proposed to vigorously promote the comprehensive transformation and utilization of saline-alkali land, and improve 1 million mu of saline-alkali cultivated land by 2027, which is not only an effective means of desertification control, but also an important measure to consolidate the foundation of food security.
Fight the battle of protection and repair system. The foundation of the ecological environment is weak, the foundation is thin, the proportion of arid and semi-arid areas is large, and the precipitation is low all year round... In view of these "congenital deficiencies", Ningxia proposes to adhere to natural restoration and artificial restoration, comprehensively promote the protection and restoration of key ecological function areas, key ecosystems, key ecological corridors, and key rivers, lakes and beaches, increase the protection and management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands, cultivate healthy, stable and fully functional ecosystems, strengthen the protection of biodiversity systems, and build a biodiversity investigation and evaluation system, a species conservation space system, and a biodiversity conservation management system.
We will fight a protracted battle to reduce carbon emissions steadily. Focusing on the national goals of "dual carbon" and "dual control", Ningxia proposes to implement the carbon peak action in a planned and step-by-step manner, improve the "1+N+X" policy system around safe carbon reduction, and build a national new energy comprehensive demonstration zone at a high level, accelerate the promotion of new energy substitution around energy carbon reduction, carry out collaborative innovation at multiple levels and in multiple fields, and build a collaborative governance system around pollution reduction and carbon reduction. These measures coordinate the "reduction" and "increase", and are clear and orderly, and treat both the symptoms and the root causes. According to statistics, more than 50% of Ningxia's coal is directly used for combustion power generation, and coal consumption accounts for 86% of total carbon emissions, of which industrial carbon emissions account for nearly 90%. Ningxia proposed to reasonably control coal consumption, reduce coal use for non-electric fuels, vigorously promote the construction and transformation of electric heating networks, and strengthen the clean and efficient use of coal, drawing a technical "roadmap" for safe and safe carbon reduction.
Do a good job in the battle of breakthroughs in institutional innovation. The principle of "four waters and four determinations" is put forward to strengthen the rigid constraints on water resources, the reform of the "six rights" is further promoted, and the market-oriented allocation system of resources and environmental factors is constructed, and the compensation system for ecological protection is improved, and the ecological environmental protection is empowered through institutional reform, system integration and mechanism innovation, so as to promote the reform to continue to deepen and solidify, and promote the steady improvement and continuous improvement of the ecological environment.
Fight the battle of ecological security. Ecological and environmental security is an important part of national security. In view of the "four imbalances" of resource imbalance, ecological imbalance, environmental imbalance and species imbalance, Ningxia adheres to the combination of "disease treatment" and "disease prevention", and makes specific arrangements from five aspects: improving the ecological security system, strengthening nuclear and radiation safety and supervision of new pollutants, strengthening biosecurity management, effectively responding to the adverse effects and risks of climate change, and strictly preventing and controlling environmental risks, so as to coordinate prevention and response, assessment and early warning, control and governance, and ensure that ecological and environmental risks can be prevented and guarded.
Fight the people's war against environmental protection. Ecological civilization is a cause in which the people participate in the joint construction and enjoy the cause. In response to the problem of "the government shouts, the cadres do, and the masses see" in the construction of ecological civilization, Ningxia proposes to cultivate and promote ecological culture, practice green and low-carbon lifestyles, establish a multi-participation action system, and build a beautiful and livable home. In the construction of ecological civilization, we should form the awareness of jointly protecting the environment, promote people to realize spatial embeddedness, cultural embeddedness, economic embeddedness, social embeddedness, and psychological embedding in the construction of ecological civilization, and cultivate the ecological civilization values of the masses.
Lay a good foundation to support coordinated battles. In order to achieve a great improvement in the governance of ecological and environmental protection, it is necessary to build a strong, strong, coordinated and efficient basic support. Ningxia adheres to the principle of focusing on overall planning, grasping rectification at the point, and building the system at the root, and makes arrangements in five aspects: strengthening the rule of law guarantee, improving incentive policies, improving the market system, strengthening scientific and technological support, and implementing major projects. In particular, around the construction of beautiful Ningxia, a number of landmark major engineering projects have been proposed, and supporting policies and key measures have been clarified in the "1+4" series of documents, such as encouraging ecological projects to adopt the eco-environment-oriented development (EOD) model construction, guiding social capital to participate in pollution control and ecological restoration, and exploring a new path of diversified ecological and environmental protection.
Discharge the "timetable" for the construction of beautiful Ningxia and answer the new examination papers in the new era
The construction of Beautiful Ningxia is carried out one by one according to three key time nodes.
The first time node is to achieve "8 improvements, 6 decreases" by 2027. It involves the evaluation index system of the construction of Beautiful China and the 14 main indicators to be completed by Ningxia's self-imposed pressure.
Based on the special position of the overall ecological situation in the country and the special mission of the construction of the pilot zone, Ningxia has put forward the goal of continuing to lead the three indicators of soil and water conservation rate, urban domestic sewage centralized collection rate, and rural domestic sewage treatment rate. Ningxia is one of the provinces with the most serious soil erosion in China, and after efforts, the soil and water conservation rate reached 76.6% in 2021, higher than the 72.04% determined by the state. From 2024 to 2027, Ningxia will implement a number of comprehensive river basin management projects, controlling soil erosion in an area of more than 3,200 square kilometers, and achieving the goal of 78.3% soil and water conservation rate by 2027. In 2022, Ningxia's urban domestic sewage rate was 76.5%, ranking among the top provinces and regions along the Huangjiu River, and with Yinchuan, Shizuishan and Wuzhong promoting the construction of sponge cities, Ningxia proposed a target of 80% by 2027. In 2022, Ningxia's sewage treatment rate was 31.59%, ranking second in Northwest China. Since 2019, a total of nearly 3.2 billion yuan has been invested in rural domestic sewage treatment, 351 sewage treatment projects have been implemented, and 377 treatment facilities have been built. Next, Ningxia will continue to increase financial support and build a number of sewage treatment facilities, and by 2027, the rural domestic sewage treatment rate will reach more than 40%.
Ningxia has clearly put forward pragmatic and feasible goals for 9 shortcomings in combination with the actual situation, and has gone all out to make up for the shortcomings and make up for the weaknesses according to the standards. By 2027, the total output value of industrial strategic emerging industries will increase to more than 23.4%, the proportion of non-fossil energy in total energy consumption will increase to about 16%, the comprehensive utilization rate of general industrial solid waste will increase to 54%, and the forest coverage rate will increase to 12.4%.
Based on the next few years, the ultra-low emission transformation of the steel, cement, and coking industries and the comprehensive treatment of industrial furnaces and kilns will be accelerated, and a number of volatile organic compounds treatment projects will be implemented, and Ningxia proposes to achieve the goal of reducing the annual average concentration of PM2.5 by 2027. At the same time, the forest coverage rate is the core indicator of the evaluation index system for the construction of Beautiful China, and after the "three adjustments" of the national land, according to the new caliber of natural background, the forest coverage rate of Ningxia will only be 10.95% in 2022. In the next few years, Ningxia will scientifically carry out artificial afforestation, restoration of degraded forests and replanting of undeveloped forests through comprehensive soil erosion control projects in the south, shelter forest construction in the north, and ecological restoration of nature reserves, and by 2027, it is expected that the new forest area will be 1.1282 million mu, and the forest coverage rate will reach 12.4%.
Ningxia also put pressure on itself and took the initiative to answer the "people's livelihood questions". Air pollution is a problem that the masses "complain about" a lot, especially sand and dust, which are difficult to prevent and treat, and in 2022, the PM10 concentration in Ningxia is 64 micrograms per cubic meter. In the next few years, Ningxia will focus on the implementation of air pollution prevention and control projects such as winter clean heating renovation in the northern region, further strengthen the control of dust in construction sites, roads, storage yards and other areas, and carry out air pollution prevention and control actions, which will effectively reduce PM10 concentrations. At the same time, rural sanitary toilets are a prominent problem that the masses are anxious about, and Ningxia proposes to increase the penetration rate of rural sanitary toilets to more than 75% by 2027.
The second time node is that by 2035, beautiful Ningxia will be basically completed. Saving resources and protecting the environment Spatial pattern, industrial structure, production mode, The overall way of life has been formed, carbon emissions have been steadily reduced after peaking, the level of green and low-carbon development and the ability to cope with climate change have been significantly improved, the air quality has been fundamentally improved, the water ecology has been restored significantly, the soil environmental security has been effectively guaranteed, the environmental risk management and control capacity has been continuously improved, and the quality of the ecological environment has been significantly improved。
The third time node is that by the middle of the 21st century, the beautiful Ningxia will be fully completed. Ecological civilization has been comprehensively improved, green development methods and lifestyles have been fully formed, and a healthy and beautiful ecological environment and the modernization of ecological environment governance system and governance capacity have been fully realized.
Fight the "Nine Battles", achieve "8 improvements, 6 declines", build a new pattern of "4 significant", and draw a new picture of "4 comprehensive"... The goals are inspiring, and the measures are realistic and pragmatic, which is not only a combination of the construction of a beautiful Ningxia, but also a firm determination and political responsibility for Ningxia to grasp the protection of the ecological environment. The blueprint is in place, and the panorama can be expected. Today, Ningxia stands at a new starting point and makes a decision, sounding a new clarion call for a new journey to promote the construction of a beautiful Ningxia, comprehensively promoting the construction of ecological civilization in the new journey, accelerating the construction of a beautiful Ningxia, striving to write a chapter of Chinese-style modernization in Ningxia of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and making Ningxia's due contribution to the construction of a beautiful China with practical actions.
