China's economic and social development has entered a stage of high-quality development that accelerates greening and low-carbon. The new journey and mission require us to plan and promote ecological environment protection work in the new era with a higher position, broader vision, and greater efforts, and to support high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment.
High quality ecological environment is an inherent requirement for high-quality development. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes that high-quality development is the primary task of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country. High quality development is not only an economic requirement, but also an overall requirement for all aspects of economic and social development. The construction of ecological civilization must also pursue high quality. High quality promotion of ecological civilization construction, solving prominent ecological environment problems, and creating a high-quality ecological environment have dual value. On the one hand, a high-quality ecological environment is the most inclusive welfare for people's livelihoods. The general public eagerly hopes to improve the quality of the ecological environment and create a high-quality ecological environment in order to better meet the growing demand of the people for a high-quality ecological environment; On the other hand, high-quality ecological environment itself also contains infinite economic value, which can continuously create comprehensive benefits and provide important support for achieving higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable, and safer economic and social development. Therefore, high-quality ecological environment is the foundation and inherent requirement of high-quality development. To plan and promote high-quality development, it is necessary to continuously improve the supply capacity of high-quality ecological environment and comprehensively promote the construction of a beautiful China.
To create a high-quality ecological environment, the relationship between economic development and ecological environment protection should be properly handled. Economic development cannot be separated from industrial development, which requires obtaining resources from the natural environment. In this process, there is a possibility of damaging the ecological environment. Therefore, there is objectively a tense relationship between economic development and environmental protection. Traditional theories overly emphasize the tense relationship between the two, manifested in policy choices that prioritize economic development, resulting in a certain degree of damage to the ecological environment. Serious ecological problems, in turn, have harmed humanity itself. Engels once pointed out, "We should not be overly intoxicated with our human victory over nature. For every such victory, nature retaliates against us." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has viewed economic development and environmental protection from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.We should protect the ecological environment like we protect our eyes, treat it like we treat life, and effectively reduce the resource and environmental costs of development through high-level environmental protection. We should continuously shape new driving forces and advantages for development, and continuously enhance its potential and momentum.
To create a high-quality ecological environment, green and low-carbon development should be regarded as the fundamental solution to ecological environment problems.We need to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of development methods, adhere to green and low-carbon development as the fundamental solution to ecological and environmental problems, accelerate the formation of green production methods and lifestyles, and cultivate a green background for high-quality development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has implemented the new development concept, firmly followed the path of ecological priority, green and low-carbon development, and focused on promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, achieving significant results. At present, in response to the prominent problems faced in the construction of ecological civilization, we must continue to firmly follow the path of ecological priority and green low-carbon development, establish a sound green low-carbon circular development economic system, accelerate the transformation of development mode to achieve green and low-carbon, and promote higher quality economic and social development.
To create a high-quality ecological environment, we should promote the construction of ecological civilization on the track of the rule of law. Give full play to the role of the rule of law in solidifying the foundation, stabilizing expectations, and promoting long-term development, so that the rule of law can lead and guarantee the formation of a green development and lifestyle. Establish a system for paid use of carbon emission rights, pollution discharge rights, water rights, and energy rights, establish a legal regulatory system for ecological rights trading, regulate market transactions such as transfer, mortgage, and equity investment by market entities, and regulate the boundaries of government behavior. In addition, we will strengthen the legal protection of intellectual property rights in ecological civilization, improve the legal system, ensure the development of green and low-carbon technologies, and support the transformation and application of innovative achievements in green and low-carbon technologies. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen social credit legislation, blacklist market entities that fail to fulfill social responsibilities, maliciously damage ecosystems, and pollute the environment, and promote the cultivation of green and environmental awareness.
