The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China puts the construction of ecological civilization in a prominent position, integrates all aspects and the whole process of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction and social construction, and strives to build a beautiful China and realize the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Why should ecological civilization construction be brought into the overall layout of "Five in One" in Socialism with Chinese characteristics? How to understand and vigorously promote the construction of ecological civilization? On these issues, Zhao, director of the Institute of Marxism of National Defense University, made an in-depth interpretation of ecological civilization construction in the report of the 18th National Congress.
Zhao pointed out that Socialism with Chinese characteristics is not only a society with rich economy, democratic politics, advanced culture and harmonious society, but also a society with good ecological environment. In order to overcome the constraints of resources and environment and reverse the deterioration trend of ecological environment from the source, China must vigorously promote the construction of ecological civilization. Therefore, the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China brought the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of "five in one" in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which made the strategic position of ecological civilization construction more clear.
Zhao said: in the final analysis, promoting the construction of ecological civilization is to improve people's quality of life and meet people's needs for a good environment and a pleasant climate. We can't sacrifice the living and development environment of future generations just because our generation wants to live a better life. At the same time, it must be noted that building ecological civilization is not only one of the goals of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause, but also China's commitment and contribution to global ecological security.
Therefore, we must adhere to the basic national policy of saving resources and protecting the environment, adhere to the policy of giving priority to saving, protecting and natural restoration, vigorously promote green development, circular development and low-carbon development, and gradually form a spatial pattern, industrial structure, production mode and lifestyle of saving resources and protecting the environment.
Zhao said that the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to promote the construction of ecological civilization from the following aspects:
The first is to optimize the pattern of land space development. In accordance with the principle of balanced population, resources and environment and unified economic, social and ecological benefits, we will control the intensity of development, adjust the spatial structure, and promote intensive and efficient production space, moderately livable living space and beautiful ecological space. Accelerate the implementation of the strategy of main functional areas and build a scientific and reasonable pattern of urbanization, agricultural development and ecological security.
The second is to comprehensively promote resource conservation. It is necessary to economize and intensively use resources, greatly reduce the intensity of resource consumption, and improve the efficiency and benefit of utilization. Promote the revolution of energy production and consumption, support the development of energy-saving and low-carbon industries, new energy and renewable energy, and ensure national energy security. Strengthen water source protection and total water consumption management, and build a water-saving society. Strictly observe the red line of cultivated land protection and strictly control land use. Strengthen the exploration, protection and rational development of mineral resources. Develop circular economy.
The third is to strengthen the natural ecosystem and environmental protection. Implement major ecological restoration projects and promote comprehensive control of desertification, rocky desertification and soil erosion. Accelerate water conservancy construction and strengthen the construction of disaster prevention and mitigation system. Focus on solving outstanding environmental problems that harm people's health, and strengthen the prevention and control of water, air and soil pollution.
Zhao believes that institutional guarantee is crucial to promoting the construction of ecological civilization.
First of all, we should strengthen the construction of ecological civilization evaluation system. The assessment system is the most important guidance and the baton to promote implementation. It is necessary to formulate an index system for the implementation of ecological civilization goals and incorporate it into the performance evaluation of local party committees, so as to urge all levels to implement the central government's strategic deployment on ecological civilization construction.
The second is to establish a national space development and protection system that meets the requirements of ecological civilization, and improve the farmland protection and water resources management system.
The third is to establish a market mechanism and promote the construction of ecological civilization. We can gradually carry out pilot trading of carbon emission rights, emission rights and water rights, and promote the realization of the goal of ecological civilization construction through planning and policy guidance.
