Green and low-carbon development, in its essence, aims to solve the problem of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. It requires us to avoid damage to the ecological environment during the development process and promote the development of the ecological environment in a better direction.The construction of ecological civilization requires a comprehensive, systematic, and innovative green and low-carbon development transformation. Green and low-carbon development is also the direction of technological revolution and industrial transformation in today's era, and is the most promising development field. It requires that the impact on the ecological environment be taken into consideration in all aspects of product production, distribution, exchange, and consumption. Unlike traditional one-way material economy, it is necessary to establish an economy characterized by material circulation and flow, in order to achieve sustainable development that benefits both the environment and the economy.
Green and low-carbon development is the core of handling the relationship between high-quality development and high-level protection. Green and low-carbon development is a commitment to the new development concept and a development approach that achieves high-quality development and high-level protection through coordinated progress. The contradiction between economic development and ecological environment protection has been a major issue that has long plagued China's development. Practice has fully proven that the high-speed growth brought about by excessive consumption of resources, serious environmental damage, and emission of large amounts of pollution is difficult to sustain in the long term. Economic development must shift towards green and low-carbon transformation, breaking the traditional development model, establishing new development concepts, and promoting a qualitative transformation from extensive to intensive development. Accelerate the formation of a green and low-carbon development model, with a focus on adjusting the economic and energy structure, optimizing the layout of national spatial development, cultivating and strengthening energy-saving and environmental protection industries, clean production industries, and clean energy industries, promoting circular links between production and living systems, and accelerating the delineation and strict adherence to the three red lines of ecological protection, environmental quality bottom line, and resource utilization online.
Green and low-carbon development promotes the transformation of production methods and cultivates new growth points. Protecting the ecological environment is protecting productivity, and improving the ecological environment is developing productivity. The ecological environment has become an endogenous variable of the production function, and the sustainable utilization of natural resources is the key to sustainable economic and social development. Economic reproduction increasingly relies on the optimization and reproduction of the ecological environment. Green and low-carbon development, as a transformation of production methods, requires government guidance and policy guidance, as well as corporate social responsibility for green and low-carbon development, adhering to clean production, circular development, low-carbon development, and safe development. At present, we are at an important juncture in global economic transformation, promoting the green transformation of industrial structure, accelerating the formation of green production methods, and incorporating green and low-carbon development into the overall goal framework of economic recovery. It is necessary to build a modern environmental governance system, scientifically and effectively evaluate environmental governance policies, and achieve the maximization of policy output and the optimization of efficiency. Actively support sustainable development industry models that are conducive to environmental protection and resource conservation, attach importance to new industrial forms such as online economy and non-contact economy, broaden the space for green economic growth, and cultivate new growth points for green and low-carbon development.
Green and low-carbon development drives lifestyle changes and helps create a high-quality ecological environment. Green is the foundation of a better life for the people, and a green and low-carbon lifestyle is an important guarantee for achieving a better life for the people. Promote the green and low-carbon transformation of lifestyle, making a good ecological environment a growth point for people's lives. Let the people breathe fresh air, drink clean water, eat safe food, live in a livable environment, and truly feel the tangible ecological benefits brought by economic development. To accelerate the formation of a green lifestyle, we need to firmly establish the concept of ecological civilization in the whole society, cultivate the awareness of conservation, environmental protection, and ecology among the whole population, cultivate ecological ethics and behavioral habits, and make the blue sky, green land, and clear water a common value pursuit. Carry out a nationwide green action, advocate for a simple, moderate, green, and low-carbon lifestyle, oppose extravagance, waste, and unreasonable consumption, and form a civilized and healthy lifestyle. Through the green and low-carbon transformation of lifestyle, promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of production methods, transforming the construction of a beautiful China into a conscious action of all people, and supporting high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment.
