June 5th is World Environment Day, and China has also legislated to designate June 5th as Environment Day each year. This year's theme is "Building a Modernization of Harmonious Coexistence between Man and Nature.".
The ecological environment is the foundation of human survival and development.Over the past decade, China has eliminated 300 million tons of outdated and overcapacity steel, and eliminated over 30 million old and high emission motor vehicles; China has established a national soil environment monitoring network covering 80000 locations; The black and odorous water bodies in Chinese cities have been basically eliminated, and the safety of drinking water for the public has been effectively guaranteed. Nowadays, the average concentration of PM2.5 in key cities in China has decreased by 56%, and the number of days of heavy pollution has decreased by 87%, making it the country with the fastest improvement rate in global air quality; China's forest area has increased by 7.1%, reaching 227 million hectares, becoming the main force in global greening.
Ecological prosperity leads to civilized prosperity, and ecological decline leads to civilized decline.In order to highlight the position of ecological civilization construction in the development of the Party and the state in the new era, and to make the Party's deployment and requirements for building ecological civilization more systematic, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization" and the "Overall Plan for the Reform of the Ecological Civilization System", and have systematically formulated dozens of reform plans related to ecological civilization construction; The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate have defined the standards for criminalizing environmental pollution and ecological damage, increased punishment efforts, and implemented the "strictest" new environmental protection law in history; The central ecological environment protection supervision system has been fully implemented; Fully implement the river chief system, lake chief system, and forest chief system; We will improve the overall coordination mechanism in the field of ecological civilization, establish a modern environmental governance system led by the Party committee, government, enterprise entities, social organizations, and the public, and use the strictest system and strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment. Our determination, strength, and effectiveness are unprecedented.
People will not betray the green mountains, and the green mountains will not betray them. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that Chinese path to modernization is a modernization in which man and nature coexist in harmony.We must protect nature and the ecological environment like we protect our eyes, firmly adhere to the path of civilized development of production, prosperity, and good ecology, achieve the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and jointly build a more beautiful and beautiful home.
