In the beginning year of fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the whole party and the country embarked on a critical moment in the new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country. From July 17th to 18th, the Party Central Committee once again held the National Ecological Environment Protection Conference, attended the conference again, and delivered important speeches, fully demonstrating the Party Central Committee with comrades as the core, which attaches great importance to the construction of ecological civilization and ecological environment protection work. The Party Group of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment stands at the height of firmly supporting the "two establishment" and firmly achieving the "two maintenance", and effectively regards studying, promoting, and implementing the important speech of the Secretary and the spirit of the conference as a major political task. It consciously becomes a firm believer, active disseminator, and loyal practitioner of the ecological civilization ideology, and plans and promotes the ecological environment protection work of the new journey with a higher position, broader perspective, and greater efforts, Strive to create a beautiful and updated picture of China.

      This National Ecological Environment Protection Conference is another important milestone in the field of ecological civilization construction. The important speech of the Secretary comprehensively summarized the "four major changes" in China's ecological civilization construction, deeply elaborated on the "five major relationships" that need to be handled well in the new journey of ecological civilization construction, systematically deployed the "six major tasks" of comprehensively promoting the construction of a beautiful China, clearly proposed the "one major requirement" of adhering to and strengthening the comprehensive leadership of the Party, and achieved the innovative development of the Secretary's ecological civilization thought on the basis of practice, To comprehensively promote the construction of a beautiful China and accelerate the modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, it provides a fundamental guideline and action guide.

     The "Four Major Transformations" are a comprehensive summary of the remarkable achievements made in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's ecological civilization construction has undergone a significant transformation from key rectification to systematic governance, from passive response to proactive action, from global environmental governance participants to leaders, and from practical exploration to scientific theoretical guidance. It has achieved remarkable achievements that have attracted worldwide attention and become a significant symbol of the historic achievements and changes in the cause of the Party and the country in the new era. These "four major transformations" are not only the result of the scientific guidance of the Secretary's ecological civilization ideology, but also enrich and develop this important ideology with a series of important original achievements, highlighting the decisive significance of the "two establishment".

     The "Five Major Relationships" are the deepening and expansion of the understanding of the laws of ecological civilization construction. In the face of new situations and problems, continuing to promote the construction of ecological civilization requires the correct handling of the relationship between high-quality development and high-level protection, key challenges and collaborative governance, natural recovery and artificial restoration, external constraints and endogenous driving forces, "dual carbon" commitments, and independent actions. These "five major relationships" are dialectically unified and mutually reinforcing, containing rich values and methodologies, and filled with profound and insightful principles, theories, and philosophies, providing a powerful ideological weapon for the comprehensive construction of a beautiful China where humans and nature coexist harmoniously.

     The "Six Major Tasks" are the strategic deployment for the construction of a beautiful China. The next five years will be an important period for the construction of a beautiful China. We need to continue to deepen the battle for pollution prevention and control, accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of development methods, focus on improving the diversity, stability, and sustainability of the ecosystem, actively and steadily promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality, firmly adhere to the bottom line of the construction of a beautiful China, and improve the guarantee system for the construction of a beautiful China. These "six major tasks" are major strategic arrangements made to implement the decisions and deployments of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, aiming to achieve the goal of building a beautiful China in the next five years and by 2035.

     A major requirement "is the fundamental guarantee for the construction of a beautiful China. Building a beautiful China is an important goal of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country, and is a long-term task and systematic engineering. We must adhere to and strengthen the comprehensive leadership of the Party, fully leverage the political advantages of the Party's leadership, strictly implement the "Party and government responsibilities" and "dual responsibilities of one position", stimulate the strong driving force for building a beautiful China, form a strong joint force for building a beautiful China, and ensure that the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee are implemented and effective.

      The Secretary pointed out that "China's economic and social development has entered a high-quality stage of accelerating green and low-carbon development, and the construction of ecological civilization is still in a critical period of pressure accumulation and heavy progress." We need to deeply understand the Secretary's major strategic judgment, deeply grasp the situation and tasks of ecological environment protection, maintain strategic clarity, strategic confidence, and strategic initiative, and strive to promote the construction of a beautiful China where people and nature coexist harmoniously.

     From the perspective of environmental quality, we have a strong determination and strong measures to use powerful drugs to cure illnesses and severe diseases to combat chaos. We have concentrated our efforts to fight the defense of blue skies, clear waters, and pure land, effectively curbing the trend of ecological environment deterioration. The average concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in cities at or above the national prefecture level has historically decreased to 29 micrograms per cubic meter, while the average concentration in key cities has decreased by 57%, making it the country with the fastest improvement rate in global air quality; The proportion of high-quality surface water bodies in China has reached 87.9%, and black and odorous water bodies in cities at or above the prefecture level have been basically eliminated; The soil environmental risks have been effectively controlled, achieving the goal of "zero import" of solid waste as scheduled, and the people's sense of ecological and environmental benefits has significantly increased. From the perspective of ecological protection, we will coordinate the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and sands, accelerate the construction of a natural reserve system with national parks as the main body, and achieve a red line control of important ecological spaces. China is the first country in the world to achieve a "dual reduction" of desertification land and desertification land area, increasing forest coverage to 24.02%, becoming the country with the highest and fastest growth of forest resources and the largest artificial afforestation area in the world. From the perspective of green transformation, we have implemented the requirements of green development throughout the entire process of economic and social development, promoting the formation of spatial patterns, industrial structures, production methods, and lifestyles that save resources and protect the environment. The concept that green waters and mountains are mountains of gold and silver has become a common understanding and action of the entire party and society. China has supported economic growth of over 6% per year with an average annual energy consumption growth rate of 3%, and the cumulative decrease in carbon emission intensity has exceeded 35%, establishing the world's largest carbon market and clean power generation system. From the perspective of global environmental governance, China has made a solemn commitment to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality and put it into practice, jointly build a green "the Belt and Road", promote the conclusion of the Paris Agreement, successfully held the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and reached an ambitious and pragmatic balanced "Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework", which has been widely recognized by the international community.

     The tremendous achievements in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era have laid a solid foundation, accumulated rich experience, and created historical conditions for comprehensively promoting the construction of a beautiful China and accelerating the modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature on the new journey. Currently, China's comprehensive strength in promoting ecological civilization construction is stronger, its material and technological foundation is better, social consensus is wider, and people's expectations are higher. On the new journey, with the leadership of the Secretary and the scientific guidance of the Secretary's ecological civilization ideology, as long as we follow the trend, seize the opportunity, and firmly move towards the higher goal of building a beautiful China, we will definitely achieve new and greater achievements, and strive to write a new chapter of ecological civilization construction in the new era.

     At the same time, we are also soberly aware that the structural, root cause, and trend pressures of ecological environment protection have not been fundamentally alleviated. China's national conditions of high resource pressure, limited environmental capacity, and fragile ecosystems have not changed. The historical debt of environmental protection has not yet been paid off, the foundation for stable and improving ecological environment quality is not yet solid, and the total amount of pollutants and carbon emissions is still high. The restoration and improvement of the ecological environment cannot be achieved overnight, and the construction of ecological civilization is still a process that requires long-term and arduous efforts. We must not be complacent or slack off, and must maintain strategic determination, overcome difficulties, and achieve long-term success, gradually turning the blueprint for a beautiful China into reality.

    The National Ecological and Environmental Protection Conference has sounded the battle cry for comprehensively building a beautiful China. The Party Group of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will always adhere to the guidance of the Secretary's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era, fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Secretary's Thought on Ecological Civilization, seriously benchmark the Secretary's important speeches and conference spirit, firmly shoulder the political responsibility of building a beautiful China, forge ahead, overcome difficulties, and fully implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, in order to build a beautiful China Make new and greater contributions to the modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
