China’s economy talks deeply： How to treat adhering to green development？
A new round of central eco-environmental protection inspectors is in full swing!
From July 10th to 15th, the first batch of eight central eco-environmental protection inspectors in the second round were stationed one after another, and they were respectively responsible for inspecting six provinces (cities) including Shanghai, Fujian and Hainan, and two central enterprises including China Minmetals Group Co., Ltd.. A remarkable change is that the new round of inspectors clearly regards the implementation of new development concepts and the promotion of high-quality development as their contents. As of August 5, each inspector group has transferred 13,267 effective reports to the inspected localities and central enterprises, and 4,069 reports have been completed by the masses.
The external environment is complex and severe, and the economy is facing downward pressure — — Under such circumstances, China’s determination to promote green development remains firm.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We must maintain the strategic strength of strengthening the construction of ecological civilization. Protecting the ecological environment and developing the economy are fundamentally organically unified and complementary. We can’t start the idea of spreading projects on the stalls and sacrificing the environment for economic growth just because economic development encounters some difficulties, and even try our best to break through the red line of ecological protection. "
Resolutely fight the tough battle against pollution, actively respond to climate change, resolutely keep foreign garbage out of the country, accelerate the implementation of garbage classification system, and accelerate the establishment of a nature reserve system with national parks as the main body … … China is striving to push economic development and ecological civilization construction to a new level simultaneously.
What is the overall situation of green development in China at present? Why is it necessary to strengthen the construction of ecological environmental protection without wavering, slackening and opening up? How to build the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature? The reporter conducted a multi-party investigation and interview.
The momentum of green development is steady — —
China’s ecological civilization construction has entered the fast lane. While the economy continues to grow, the environmental quality is stable and improving.
Trees in full of green, reeds standing upright, birds flapping their wings and flying … … This is the Guanting Reservoir National Wetland Park in Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province.
Guanting Reservoir is located at the junction of Huailai County and Yanqing District of Beijing. It was withdrawn from the list of drinking water sources in Beijing 22 years ago because of water pollution. According to the overall urban planning of Beijing, the drinking water source function of Guanting Reservoir will be restored by 2035. Huailai County began to implement the National Wetland Park Project in 2017 as the "No.1 Project" of the county. Dai Fuqiang, a villager in Heituwa Village, tumu town, has a thriving restaurant business. He said happily: "The selling point now is the scenery of the wetland park!"
With the construction of ecological civilization, the land of China has entered the fast lane, and the scenes of bluer sky, greener mountains and clearer water are constantly displayed in front of people.
China Air Quality Improvement Report (2013— 2018) shows that in 2018, the national GDP increased significantly compared with that in 2013, while the concentration of air pollutants dropped sharply. The average annual concentration of PM2.5 in key areas of air pollution prevention and control decreased by 48%, 39% and 32% respectively. In the WeChat circle of friends, there are fewer and fewer smog and more and more blue sky and white clouds.
"After returning grazing to grassland, the grassland has changed a lot! It rains more, the grass grows taller, and there are more wild animals. " The villagers in Julia Village, lixin town, Zhiduo County, Qinghai Province were full of praise. According to the research conducted by NASA and other institutions based on satellite data, about 1/4 of the new green area in the world from 2000 to 2017 came from China, with China accounting for the largest contribution. At present, 2750 nature reserves of various types have been established in China.
"China actively participates in and guides international cooperation on climate change, and has become an important participant, contributor and leader in the construction of global ecological civilization, reflecting the responsibility of deeply participating in global governance and building a community of human destiny." Xu Huaqing, director of the National Center for Strategic Research and International Cooperation on Climate Change, said. According to the latest data, in 2018, China’s carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will decrease by about 46% compared with 2005, and the carbon intensity will decrease by 40% by 2020 & mdash; 45% of the target. China is actively promoting the "One Belt, One Road" international alliance for green development and the construction of an eco-friendly big data service platform, and working with other countries to implement the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The heavy green development report card is hard to come by.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of ecological civilization has been incorporated into the overall layout of national development, and building a beautiful China has become the goal that people yearn for. "The understanding and practice of ecological civilization construction have undergone historic, turning and overall changes." Wu Shunze, director of the Environmental and Economic Policy Research Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said, "The level of ideological understanding is unprecedented, the intensity of pollution control is unprecedented, the frequency of system introduction is unprecedented, the scale of supervision and law enforcement is unprecedented, and the speed of environmental quality improvement is unprecedented."
"The rapid increase in the total discharge of major pollutants in China has been curbed, and the discharge of major pollutants has gradually reached its peak or entered a platform period. According to ‘ Environmental Kuznets curve ’ Compared with the process of environmental improvement in developed countries, China has crossed ‘ Environmental inflection point ’ The environmental quality has generally entered a stable and positive stage. " Chen Jianpeng, director of the Environmental Policy Research Office of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center, analyzed.
The hypothesis of "Environmental Kuznets Curve" holds that there is an inverted U-shaped curve between pollutant discharge and economic development: pollutant discharge first increases and then decreases with economic development, that is, when the economy develops to a certain level, the degree of environmental pollution reaches the highest, and then the economy continues to develop, but the environmental pollution decreases, and the environmental quality gradually improves.
"From the perspective of international comparison, compared with the leading countries, China’s per capita GDP level is lower when the landmark pollutants reach the peak, and pollution control and emission reduction reflect a certain ‘ Advance ’ 。” Chen Jianpeng said, "Although China’s pollutant emissions have crossed the peak in general, they still far exceed the environmental capacity. It takes a long time to achieve a fundamental improvement in environmental quality after substantial reduction. This also means that the environmental pollution situation in the near and medium term is still very severe and complicated. "
Many interviewed experts believe that China’s economic growth and pollutant discharge are gradually "decoupled", which is also an important stage of rebalancing China’s environmental protection and economic growth.
Green development keeps its strength — —
Never waver, never slacken, never talk, and cross the important barrier of pollution prevention and environmental governance.
Well-off society is not comprehensive, and the quality of ecological environment is very important.
"In the process of China’s economy shifting from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, pollution prevention and environmental governance are an important barrier that needs to be crossed. We must grit our teeth, climb this slope and cross this hurdle. We must maintain the determination to strengthen the construction of ecological environmental protection, and we will not waver, relax, or open our mouths. " The words of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader are powerful.
Green development is an urgent move to meet the growing needs of the people for a beautiful ecological environment.
"Too fast, environmental protection and public security have come. I didn’t expect our demands to be solved so soon!" Ms. Li from Wangjiagedan Village, Kundulun District, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, reported the situation to the 12369 environmental protection hotline, and a nearby mineral processing enterprise that illegally discharged wastewater was immediately shut down. Li Xiaolu, director of the Bureau of Ecology and Environment of Baotou City, said: "Baotou City has made every effort to fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, and constantly improved the 24-hour complaint reporting platform and ‘ Ecological environment+public security ’ The linkage mechanism ensures that the reasonable demands of the people are resolved in a timely manner. "
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. "The people’s growing need for a beautiful ecological environment is an important part of the people’s need for a better life, but at present, the supply of high-quality ecological products in China is still obviously insufficient." Pan Jiahua, member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and director of the Institute of Urban Development and Environment, said, "We must speed up the pace of green development, speed up the shortcomings of the ecological environment, and constantly enhance the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security."
Green development is an inevitable requirement for building a high-quality modern economic system.
What can 15 discarded coke bottles do? In Haili Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., located in Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province, these bottles have been treated with advanced technology and equipment to become recycled polyester differential filaments, which can be used as raw materials for a beautiful skirt.
"At present, we can make 10 billion waste beverage bottles a year ‘ Phoenix nirvana ’ 。” Fang Guangming, Chairman of Haili Environmental Protection Company, introduced.
Since 2017, Haiyan County has further changed its cage, transformed and upgraded, and shut down more than 3,700 "small and small" enterprises. Emerging industries have developed rapidly, and resource-saving and environment-friendly enterprises have shown their talents. "We strive to embark on a new path of high-quality development oriented to ecological priority and green development, and build a coastal city with high-quality industry, beautiful environment and elegant life." Chen Lingfang, secretary of Haiyan County Party Committee, said.
According to the research of environmental economics, proper environmental supervision will encourage enterprises to carry out more innovative activities, thus improving production capacity, product quality and competitiveness. A large number of empirical analysis also confirmed that proper environmental supervision is conducive to promoting economic growth. "Strengthening environmental supervision in some places with heavy industrial structure will have a certain impact on the economy, but this impact is partial and short-term, and the industries affected are mainly high energy consumption and high pollution." Wu Shunze believes that "adhering to green development and strengthening environmental supervision are important drivers for promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure and high-quality economic development."
Green development has strengthened green industries such as environmental protection industry and provided important new kinetic energy for economic growth.
In recent years, China has continued to carry out ecological protection and environmental governance, which has effectively promoted the development of green industries. According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of this year, the investment in ecological protection and environmental governance increased by 48% year-on-year, 42.2 percentage points faster than the total investment. "The calculation data of China Environmental Protection Industry Association shows that in the first half of this year, the operating income of the whole industry was about 684.5 billion yuan, an increase of about 8.7% year-on-year, showing a good development trend." Yi Bin, vice president and secretary general of China Environmental Protection Industry Association, said.
In the spacious and tidy workshop, buckets of "water paint" are continuously produced. In Xushui District, Baoding City, Hebei Province, adjacent to xiong’an new area, Chenyang Waterpaint has built the world’s largest Daquan Waterpaint manufacturing base with a production capacity of 1.25 million tons. Using water paint with water as diluent instead of traditional solvent paint can greatly reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds. "Compared with a paint factory of the same size, this green factory can reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds by 1 million tons a year. Since 2015, the production and sales of water paints have doubled year after year. " Hu Zhongyuan, chief engineer of Chenyang water paint technology, introduced.
"The construction of ecological civilization in China has entered the fast lane, opening up a broader space for the development of environmental industries." Zhao Wei, president of the Environmental Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, believes that "the supply side of the environmental industry is iteratively upgrading from the past single and independent terminal governance and unit governance to providing more ecological public goods and public services. Improve quality and strengthen innovation, and the environmental industry will create greater value for society. "
The prospect of green development can be expected — —
Accelerate the construction of an ecological civilization system and implement Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s ideas.
Green development is easier said than done. When the economy is facing downward pressure, how to firmly hold the red line of ecological environmental protection? Respondents said that it is necessary to speed up the construction of an ecological civilization system, make a good combination of green development, and earnestly practice Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s ideas.
Grasping the system design on the one hand and implementing it in detail on the other, green development takes root and takes effect.
In the hot summer, in the factory area of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Company, Shanxi Province, the ultra-low emission upgrading project is in full swing. "No pollution, no noise, no smell, and qualified emission concentration and total amount", TISCO is making every effort to build such a green steel enterprise. In April this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Implementation of Ultra-low Emissions in the Steel Industry", and steel enterprises in various places have successively carried out upgrading and upgrading, and the blue sky defense war will go to the next level.
One point for deployment and nine points for implementation. In recent years, the top-level design of ecological civilization construction has been gradually improved, which has provided strong support for green development. "Green" has become the key word in the systems, plans, projects and projects of various regions and departments. "After years of unremitting efforts, the conditions for all aspects of green development have basically been met." Li Zhiqing, deputy director of the Environmental Economic Research Center of Fudan University, believes that "in the future, the responsibility for ecological environmental protection will be compacted layer by layer, and it will be implemented to the letter, so that all systems can take root and be effective, and one after another ‘ Hard bone ’ 。”
On the one hand, we will tackle pollution control, on the other hand, we will make overall plans, and green development will advance steadily.
"I’m going to ask if there is a governance plan that suits us." Click on the "Corporate Environmental Reception Day" page of Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, and Liu Hanlai, general manager of Nanjing Jiamao Food Factory, quickly filled in the appointment time. Since October last year, Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment has set up reception days regularly, and has received more than 40 enterprises to dispel doubts and provide services.
The Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of last year put forward: "To fight a tough battle against pollution, we must hold our ground, consolidate our achievements, focus on winning the blue sky defense war, increase our work and investment, and at the same time make overall plans to avoid simple and rude disposal measures. It is necessary to enhance service awareness and help enterprises formulate environmental governance solutions. " All localities and departments have taken action, both strict supervision and thoughtful service. In May this year, the new round of intensive supervision team in key areas of the Blue Sky Defence War was renamed as the "Working Group on Strengthening Supervision and Fixed-point Assistance", and its members included the staff of various departments of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment responsible for fixed-point assistance, and there was a strong technical team behind the working group.
"Providing services and support to enterprises that are compliant and willing to comply is the proper meaning of environmental protection work." Wang Jinnan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and dean of the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, believes that "to fight a tough battle against pollution and improve environmental quality, it is necessary to make corresponding adjustments to backward production capacity and backward industrial structure. In this process, it is necessary to maintain the strength of strengthening ecological environmental protection and handle the relationship between development and protection."
Grasping ecological management on one hand and green industry on the other, the prospect of green development can be expected.
Anhui Jingde has fresh air and green mountains. The forest coverage rate is 69.2%, and the average annual concentration of PM2.5 is 27 μ g/m3. The good ecological environment here benefits from the continuous ecological environment management, and also from the development idea of taking the health industry as the leading industry in recent years. "Jingde relies on green water and green mountains to cultivate new economic growth points, showing a good development trend. From January to May this year, the output value of strategic emerging industries in the county increased by 12.3%. " The Standing Committee of Xuancheng Municipal Committee and the Secretary of Jingde County Party Committee introduced it carefully.
At the annual meeting of the China Committee for International Cooperation in Environment and Development held not long ago, Zheng Xinli, executive director of the China Policy Science Research Association, said that it is estimated that the output value of China’s green economy in 2018 is about 6 trillion yuan; It is expected to reach 12 trillion yuan by 2025, accounting for about 8% of GDP; By 2035, it is expected to reach more than 10% of GDP. "In the trend of green development, we should continue to give support to green industries such as environmental protection, so that powerful enterprises have more opportunities to display their fists and feet and boost economic growth while improving environmental quality." Zhang genhua, president of Beijing qingxin environmental technology co., ltd. suggested.
"Ecological governance, the road is long and the line will come." Keep the strategic determination to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization and promote green development, and strive to leap to a new level, and the beautiful China with rich people and ecological beauty will gradually approach!
