On May 14, the Ministry of Environmental Protection held a symposium in Beijing to study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech on the construction of ecological civilization and environmental protection and the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization." Minister of Environmental Protection Chen Jining attended the meeting and emphasized that it is necessary to carry out in-depth demonstration and construction of ecological civilization, strive to promote green transformation and development, and strive to be the leader and practitioner of Jinshan Yinshan.

      Chen Jining said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new requirements for the construction of ecological civilization and environmental protection, which has pointed out the direction for further environmental protection work. Not long ago, the Party Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), which clarified the overall requirements, key tasks, and safeguard measures for the construction of ecological civilization, in order to promote the construction of ecological civilization and environmental protection. Here comes a new opportunity. We must deeply study and understand the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech on ecological civilization construction and environmental protection, and in accordance with the requirements of the "Opinions", further unify thinking, clarify responsibilities, and pay close attention to implementation. The first is to accurately grasp the dialectical relationship between green waters and green mountains and Jinshan Yinshan, insist that green waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, establish correct development ideas, maintain sobriety and determination, turn ecological advantages into development advantages, and let green waters and green mountains bring Jinshan Silver Mountain. The second is to deeply understand that the ecological environment is the profound connotation of people’s livelihood and welfare, and use hard measures to deal with hard challenges. Every year, a group of people can see, touch, and benefit from the treatment results, so that the people can truly feel that pollution can be beneficial. Governance and the environment can be improved to continuously meet the new expectations of the people for a good ecological environment. The third is to fully implement the "five in one" overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, change the concept of development, coordinate to promote new industrialization, informatization, urbanization, agricultural modernization and greening, and promote the formation of a space-saving and environmentally-friendly spatial pattern, industrial structure, and industrial structure. Mode of production and lifestyle. The fourth is to plan and advance various tasks closely around the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, with improving environmental quality as the core, focusing on solving environmental constraints, speeding up the improvement of environmental protection shortcomings, and making building a beautiful China a reality step by step.

      Chen Jining pointed out that the construction of an ecological province is a vivid practice of the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden and silver mountains". In 2000, the "National Ecological Environmental Protection Program" issued by the State Council proposed the construction of an ecological province. The Ministry of Environmental Protection vigorously promoted it and all localities responded positively. So far, 16 provinces across the country, including Fujian, Zhejiang, Liaoning, Tianjin, Hainan, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hebei, Guangxi, Sichuan, Shanxi, Henan, and Hubei, are developing ecological provinces, with more than 1,000 All cities, counties, and districts are advancing the cell project of ecological province construction and vigorously developing ecological cities and counties. 92 regions have achieved the staged results of ecological cities and counties, have been named, 4596 ecological towns have been built, and a number of advanced models of coordinated economic, social and environmental development have emerged. The construction of an ecological province emphasizes protection in development and development in protection to promote environmental quality improvement and economic development; emphasizes the greening of economic development as the leader, vigorously promotes transformation and upgrading, vigorously eliminates outdated production capacity, develops environmental protection industries, and develops products Ecological design, strengthen clean production, and promote the integration of ecological civilization construction and economic construction. The construction of an ecological province emphasizes the maintenance of the ecological security pattern, improves the ecological environmental protection system, promotes the equalization of urban and rural environmental public services, and provides a model that can be used for reference and promoted for all-round promotion of ecological environmental protection.

      Chen Jining requested that we should seize the new opportunities in the implementation of the "Opinions", expand new ideas, explore new ways, build new models, continue to deepen the strategy of ecological province construction, and extensively carry out the cell engineering created in the demonstration area of ecological civilization construction with cities and counties as the focus. , And implement the tasks and requirements put forward in the "Opinions" in light of local actual conditions, and strive to build an upgraded version of the ecological province construction and ecological civilization construction demonstration zone. The first is to further deepen the ecological province strategy. Conscientiously do a good job in the overall coordination and planning of production space, living space, and ecological space, delineate ecological protection red lines in key ecological function areas, ecological environment sensitive areas and fragile areas, and implement strict management and control to promote the rehabilitation of important ecosystems. Efforts will be made to promote the greening of production methods and lifestyles. Efforts to implement the greening proposed in the "Opinions", actively promote the modernization of the ecological environment governance system and governance capabilities, and tightly focus on the core of environmental quality improvement, and follow the systematic, scientific, legal, market-oriented and informatized It is required to do a good job in the macro design of the management system, and continuously improve the quality of work and management efficiency. The second is to speed up the upgrading of the ecological civilization construction demonstration zone with the focus on cities and counties. Continue to focus on cell engineering with cities and counties as the unit, focus more on green development, green life and environmental quality improvement, environmental risk management and control, and explore the establishment of a number of demonstration models for green development. Solidly promote the capacity building of township environmental protection teams in cities and counties, and strive to adapt to the situation and tasks. In particular, the environmental protection departments in the pilot demonstration areas for ecological civilization construction should follow the principle of "three stricts and three realities", be good staff and assistants of the party committee and the government, implement the functional positioning of the main environmental protection front and fundamental measures, and promote the formation of clear goals , A good work pattern with clear responsibilities and assessment guarantees. The third is to earnestly strengthen public participation and publicity in the construction of ecological civilization. Timely summarize and promote the practices, results and experience of the establishment of ecological civilization construction demonstration zones, and create a good atmosphere and conditions for the establishment of ecological civilization construction demonstration zones. Improve the public participation mechanism, guide and support the public to consciously participate in ecological civilization construction activities. Earnestly run the "China Ecological Civilization Award", and jointly select a group of collectives and individuals who have made outstanding achievements in the practice and exploration of ecological civilization construction, publicity and education, and theoretical research, and set a model and example for the whole society.
