An international conference in April and a local investigation were all related to this matter.

  On April 25th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, who was investigating in Guangxi, came to Di Yang Wharf of Lijiang River in Yangshuo County, Guilin City to listen to the report on the comprehensive management and ecological protection of Lijiang River basin.

  "In the face of unprecedented difficulties in global environmental governance, the international community should take responsibility and work together to build a community of human and natural life with unprecedented ambition and action." A few days ago, president’s supreme leader pointed out this when attending the leaders’ climate summit in Beijing by video.

  On the evening of April 22nd, at the invitation of US President Biden, the Supreme Leader of president attended the Leaders’ Climate Summit by video and delivered an important speech entitled "Building a Community of Man and Nature together".

  No matter at home or abroad, the Supreme Leader General Secretary has repeatedly stood at the height of global ecological civilization construction, advocated building a community of human and natural life together, and constantly contributed China wisdom and China’s strength to creating a new pattern of global environmental governance.

  Promoting the construction of ecological civilization in the largest developing country "will have a worldwide impact".

  "The river is a green ribbon, and the mountains are like jasper." The general secretary of the supreme leader has always been concerned about the protection and comprehensive management of the ecological environment in the Lijiang River Basin.

  "When I was a teenager, I had been to the Lijiang River with several classmates. I remember that after swimming, clothes were dried on the banks of Lijiang River. At that time, the river was blue, and the floodlight bottomed out. " During the National People’s Congress in March 2010, the Supreme Leader recalled the unforgettable experience of visiting the Lijiang River as a teenager.

  Later, the Lijiang River was once seriously polluted, even the water level dropped, and it was only after unremitting governance that it was restored. The general secretary told us that the Lijiang River is not only the Lijiang River of Guangxi people, but also the Lijiang River of the people of the whole country and the whole world, and it is also a natural heritage shared by all mankind. We must take care of the Lijiang River and protect it scientifically.

  From the Yangtze River to the Yellow River, from the Lijiang River to the Wujiang River, from Dianchi Lake to Erhai Lake, from Hulun Lake to Dongting Lake, from Qilian Mountain to Qinling Mountain, from Helan Mountain to Wuyishan … … The ecological changes in China reflect the historic, turning and overall changes in China’s ecological environment protection.

  As a participant, contributor and leader of global ecological civilization construction, China has made unremitting efforts to build a community of human and natural life with practical actions. "Promoting the construction of ecological civilization in our largest developing country with a population of more than 1.3 billion and building a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power will have a worldwide impact." In May 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the National Ecological Environmental Protection Conference.

  Nowadays, China has incorporated the concept and construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and adhered to the development path of ecological priority, green and low carbon. China’s announcement that it will strive to achieve peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 is a major strategic decision based on promoting the building of a community of human destiny and achieving sustainable development, which requires China’s hard work.

  "Explore the synergy between environmental protection and economic development, job creation and poverty eradication"

  During this inspection, the local responsible comrades told the General Secretary that in recent years, Guilin has vigorously promoted the "chaos control, water control, mountain control and root cause" of the Lijiang River, and comprehensively cleaned up and rectified quarries and illegal sand mining. The supreme leader pointed out that the worst thing is quarrying. Destroy a mountain and there will never be such a mountain. China and the whole world are such a treasure, so don’t destroy it.

  For quarrying, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is deeply touched.

  In the 1990s, Yucun in Anji, Zhejiang Province became the richest village in Anji by blasting mountains for mining and building cement plants, at the cost of "villagers dare not open windows, and even bamboo shoots are not long on the mountains". In August 2005, the Supreme Leader came to the village and heard that Yucun had changed from "selling stones" to "selling scenery", which was quite touching. During this inspection, the Supreme Leader clearly put forward the "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" for the first time, stressing that economic growth should not be promoted at the expense of the environment.

  Anji Yucun is a representative of the "Thousand Villages Demonstration and Ten Thousand Villages Renovation" project personally promoted by the Supreme Leader during his work in Zhejiang. In 2018, the "Thousand Villages Demonstration and Ten Thousand Villages Renovation" project won the "Guardian of the Earth Award", the highest environmental honor of the United Nations. In the award speech, it was commented: "This extremely successful ecological restoration project shows that bringing environmental protection and economic development together will produce transformative forces."

  "Explore the synergy between protecting the environment and developing the economy, creating jobs and eradicating poverty, strive to achieve social fairness and justice in the process of green transformation, and increase people’s sense of gain, happiness and security in all countries." Chairman Supreme Leader’s speech at the Leaders’ Climate Summit reached the hearts of the people.

  "Leave a clean and beautiful world to future generations"

  "All countries should establish a new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, seize the historic opportunity of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and promote the post-epidemic world economy ‘ Green recovery ’ , bringing together a strong synergy for sustainable development. " In September, 2020, the Supreme Leader’s speech at the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly pointed out the direction for global environmental governance.

  "The construction of ecological civilization is related to the future of mankind. Building a green home is the common dream of mankind. Protecting the ecological environment and coping with climate change require the concerted efforts of all countries in the world. No country can stay out of it and be immune to it." Adhering to the concept of "teaching people to fish" and through pragmatic and efficient cooperation, China has done its best to help developing countries improve their ability to cope with climate change and achieved fruitful results. From climate remote sensing satellites in Africa to low-carbon demonstration zones in Southeast Asia to energy-saving lamps in small island countries, China’s South-South cooperation on climate change is tangible and effective.

  Human beings are a community of destiny, and protecting the ecological environment is a common challenge and responsibility facing the whole world. Regarding the construction of ecological civilization, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always stressed the need to "calculate the big account, calculate the long-term account, calculate the overall account and calculate the comprehensive account" and "work for the overall situation and future generations".

  "I firmly believe that as long as we think in one place and work hard in one place, mankind will be able to cope with the global climate and environmental challenges and leave a clean and beautiful world to future generations." The powerful words of the General Secretary have condensed confidence and strength for global environmental governance at key nodes.
