The construction of ecological civilization has reached a new height, with a clear timetable and a clear road map. The beautiful China with clear water, blue sky and fresh air is full of expectations.
What are the highlights of building an ecological civilization and a beautiful China in the report of the 19th National Congress? How to overcome difficulties, roll up our sleeves and work hard in the next step, and make our generation’s efforts to protect the ecological environment? Our reporter interviewed many experts, scholars and grassroots cadres and masses, asking them to talk about understanding, experience, truth and good advice.
"In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the content related to the construction of ecological civilization is very large and heavy. Energy, environment and climate change workers are very concerned and very excited! " Du Xiangwan, deputy director of the Expert Advisory Committee of the National Energy Commission, director of the National Expert Committee on Climate Change and academician of the China Academy of Engineering, told reporters.
"Insist on the harmonious coexistence between man and nature", "Building ecological civilization is a Millennium plan for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation", "We must establish and practice Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept and adhere to the basic national policy of saving resources and protecting the environment" and "Accelerate the reform of ecological civilization system and build a beautiful China" … … The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China’s plans for building an ecological civilization and a beautiful China in the new era have attracted wide attention and heated discussion at home and abroad in recent days.
Understanding the importance of ecological civilization construction from the transformation of social principal contradictions
"Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing needs for a better life and the development with insufficient imbalance." The 19th National Congress made clear the historical changes of the main social contradictions in China, and party constitution made corresponding amendments according to this important political conclusion.
In 1956, the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that the main contradiction in our society is the contradiction between the people’s need for rapid economic and cultural development and the current situation that the economy and culture can not meet the people’s needs. The Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party held in 1981 defined the principal social contradiction in the primary stage of socialism as "the contradiction between the people’s growing material and cultural needs and backward social production". This judgment has been used until the 19th National Congress for more than 60 years.
Chang Jiwen, deputy director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center, said that the major political conclusion made by the 19th National Congress on the transformation of major social contradictions in the new era is of far-reaching significance for promoting the construction of ecological civilization.
Since the reform and opening up, China’s economy has developed rapidly, creating a "China miracle". However, the extensive development mode has also made China pay a heavy price in terms of resources and environment, and accumulated a large number of ecological and environmental problems. The ecological environment has become a shortcoming of national development and a pain point of people’s lives.
In the past five years, China has vigorously promoted the construction of ecological civilization and achieved remarkable results that have attracted worldwide attention. However, the construction of ecological civilization still has a long way to go, and there is still an overall shortage of high-quality ecological products. People urgently call for fresh air and green mountains and green waters. In many places, people used to look forward to food and clothing and survival, but now they look forward to environmental protection and ecology.
"The major political judgment on the transformation of the main contradictions in our society has further deepened our understanding of the construction of ecological civilization. This can be understood from the following aspects. " Chang Jiwen believes that "First, the people’s growing needs for a better life include expectations for a better ecological environment; Second, the emergence of environmental problems, the fundamental reason is uneven and inadequate development; Third, the solution of environmental problems still depends on balanced development and full development. The great judgment and deployment of the report of the 19th National Congress on the status quo, causes and solutions of ecological and environmental problems is the fundamental follow-up and action guide for building a beautiful China with sky blue, green land and clear water. "
Chang Jiwen said that the formulation and implementation of the national strategy must be based on the major social contradictions. If the positioning of contradictions is not in line with reality, the action strategy and its deployment may be biased. A profound understanding and understanding of the changes in the main social contradictions in China will help us to make overall consideration and properly solve problems such as environmental pollution, ecological destruction and resource shortage in the overall development. Next, Party committees and governments at all levels will pay more attention to the construction of ecological civilization and beautiful China, and take greater steps in promoting green development, solving outstanding environmental problems, protecting ecosystems, and reforming the ecological environment supervision system.
"Beauty" has become the goal that a socialist modernization power must achieve.
On the basis of seeking truth from facts and scientifically judging the main social contradictions, the 19th National Congress made a strategic arrangement for the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and established "adhering to the harmonious coexistence between man and nature" as one of the basic strategies for adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. According to this blueprint, by 2035, socialist modernization will be basically realized, the ecological environment will be fundamentally improved, and the goal of beautiful China will be basically realized; By the middle of this century, a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power will be built, and the ecological civilization will be comprehensively improved. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) solved the ecological and environmental problems and clearly incorporated them into the strategic development goals of the Party and the country.
Du Xiangwan said: "The ‘ Beauty ’ The word is of great significance. ‘ Beautiful China ’ It has become a necessary condition for China to achieve its goals by 2035 and 2050, and it has become an indispensable content. The construction of ecological civilization has further clarified the strategic direction and goals. "
“‘ Beauty ’ Covering a very wide range and demanding, it is an urgent need to meet people’s needs and achieve sustainable development. The 19 th National Congress put forward new and higher requirements in the construction of ecological civilization, which is conducive to eliminating backward production capacity, developing green and low-carbon industries, and adding new impetus to economic growth and national development. " Du Xiangwan said, "In the next few decades, China’s economic development will not only increase the total amount, but also greatly improve the quality and efficiency of development."
Academician Shen Guofang, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and an expert in forestry and ecology, said: "‘ Beauty ’ Must be based on the excellent ecological environment, with ‘ Beauty ’ As the goal that a socialist modernization power must achieve, it puts forward higher requirements for ecological civilization construction and greening standards. In 1955, President Mao Zedong issued ‘ Greening the motherland ’ ‘ Implement landscape gardening ’ The call. ‘ Landscaping of the earth ’ At that time, there were no economic conditions and it was impossible. Now, the country’s economic strength has undergone earth-shaking changes, and forestry and gardening will have greater development. "
"Beautiful China not only has better environmental quality of air, water and soil, but also better landscape, and the construction of ecological civilization has been overweight, which has put forward higher requirements for a series of work." Shen Guofang said.
Shen Guofang pointed out that solving ecological and environmental problems ultimately depends on high-quality and high-efficiency development. For example, at present, the national and local ecological compensation for public welfare forests varies greatly from region to region, with many provinces ranging from 40 to mdash; One acre in 60 yuan, 10 provinces with less & mdash; One acre in 15 yuan. If the development is unbalanced and insufficient, it is impossible to achieve sufficient and reasonable ecological compensation.
The specific task list of ecological civilization construction in the new era is given.
The 19th National Congress not only drew a grand blueprint for beautiful China, but also integrated the concept of green development into all aspects of socialist modernization, and gave a list of specific tasks for ecological civilization construction in the new era.
The report called for "strengthening solid waste and garbage disposal", which was the first time that this issue was mentioned in the report of the Party Congress, and Du Xiangwan took note of it. He said: "I think this is a hurdle for China’s modernization, and this move meets the requirements of the times and the people. Dealing with the garbage problem well, some developed countries and regions are ahead of us at present, which is one of the signs of a country’s modernization and an element of beautiful China. Garbage siege, garbage village, where is the beautiful China? "
Wang Wenbiao, member of the Standing Committee of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Party Secretary and Chairman of Yili Resources Group, listened carefully to the report of the 19th National Congress and was encouraged. "The report mentioned that ‘ Construct an environmental governance system with the government as the leading factor, enterprises as the main body, social organizations and the public as the participants. ’ The Kubuqi model we explored in Kubuqi’s comprehensive desert control is just like this: government policy support, enterprise industrialization investment, and market participation of farmers and herdsmen. "
In September this year, the United Nations Environment Programme released the Ecological Wealth Assessment Report of Kubuqi in China in Erdos, Inner Mongolia, which is the first ecological wealth report officially released by the United Nations in the world, and affirmed China’s achievements in ecological civilization construction with scientific and quantitative evaluation results. The report shows that Kubuqi Desert has restored 9.69 million mu of green desert and created ecological wealth of more than 500 billion yuan. Wang Wenbiao emphasized: "The creation of this ecological wealth is attributed to ‘ Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets ’ The important concept is also a vivid example of this concept benefiting China and affecting the world. "
"After studying the report of the 19 th National Congress, I feel that we are on the right track, reassured, and more confident to continue desert control and promote successful practice according to local conditions." Wang Wenbiao said.
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to raise pollution discharge standards and strengthen the responsibility of polluters. Resolutely stop and punish acts that damage the ecological environment. Zhang Qiang, detachment leader of Baotou Environmental Monitoring Detachment, Inner Mongolia, said: "Our environmental law enforcers will be more emboldened and erect!"
Zhang Qiang personally felt that local party committees and governments have paid more and more attention to ecological environmental protection, and the awareness of "ecological bottom line" and "ecological red line" has been increasing, and the environmental quality has continued to improve. "We will earnestly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress, adhere to the goal orientation and problem orientation, focus on solving outstanding environmental problems, speed up the rectification of feedback from environmental protection inspectors of the central and autonomous regions, fill shortcomings as soon as possible, and improve the long-term mechanism. At the same time, continue to carry out ‘ Environmental protection sword ’ ‘ Guard the blue sky ’ A series of special actions severely punish environmental violations and maintain a high-pressure situation. "
The construction of ecological civilization has pressed the "fast forward button". Adhere to the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and speed up the reform of the ecological civilization system. A beautiful China with bluer sky, clearer water, greener mountains, visible stars and audible birds is gradually approaching.
