　　[While studying] At the National Conference on Ecological Environmental Protection held from May 18th to 19th, the Supreme Leader General Secretary delivered an important speech, which expounded his thoughts on ecological civilization completely and profoundly, which is of great significance for doing a good job in ecological environmental protection at present and in the future, and pushing China’s ecological civilization construction to a new level. On the occasion of World Environment Day on June 5th, Xinhua News Agency’s original brand column "Workshop" published an article for your interpretation.

　　In the critical period, it has entered the critical period and reached the window period. At the National Conference on Ecological Environmental Protection held from May 18th to 19th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made a clear judgment on the overall situation of ecological civilization construction.

　　At this historic juncture of "three-phase superposition", how to push China’s ecological civilization construction to a new level? The supreme leader expounded his ecological civilization thought completely and profoundly, and gave a correct epistemology and scientific methodology.

　　In this important speech, three words appear repeatedly, which are the soul and main line running through the whole article. These three words are "common people".

　　The key to learning and understanding the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought is to deeply understand the central position of the people in the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought.

　　Provide more high-quality ecological products for the people.

　　It is necessary to take the obvious improvement of air quality as the rigid requirement, and return the people to blue sky, white clouds and stars. It is necessary to thoroughly implement the action plan for water pollution prevention and control, and give people the sight of clear water and green shores and shallow fish. It is necessary to fully implement the action plan for the prevention and control of soil pollution, so that ordinary people can eat and live with peace of mind. It is necessary to continue to carry out rural human settlements improvement actions and keep the idyllic scenery of birds and flowers for the people … …

　　These words of the supreme leader focus on the quality of life of ordinary people everywhere, and every sentence is in the hearts of ordinary people.

　　There is no substitute for the ecological environment, which is the fairest public product and the most inclusive people’s livelihood. The supreme leader stressed that solving outstanding ecological and environmental problems should be regarded as a priority area for people’s livelihood.

　　"I hope that the blue sky is always there, the green mountains are always there, and the green water is always there, so that children can live in a good ecological environment … …” The supreme leader spoke so affectionately more than once, showing deep people’s feelings.

　　The supreme leader emphasized that the ecological environment is a major political issue related to the party’s mission and purpose. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s initial intention and mission is to seek happiness for the people of China, to revive the Chinese nation, and to serve the people wholeheartedly will always be the fundamental purpose of the Party.

　　This requirement is clear. We vigorously promote the construction of ecological civilization. The fundamental purpose is to respond to the people’s thoughts, expectations and urgency, provide more high-quality ecological products, and constantly meet the people’s growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment.

　　Constantly satisfying the people’s growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment is the most distinctive feature of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought and the fundamental starting point of all work in ecological civilization construction.

　　Create a Jinshan Yinshan with high quality development for the people.

　　Promoting green development in an all-round way is the inherent requirement of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought.

　　The Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. Promoting green development in an all-round way is not only to provide more high-quality ecological products for the people, but also to create a high-quality development Jinshan Yinshan for the people.

　　In the past few decades, China’s economy has maintained rapid growth for a long time, but the development model that relies too much on increasing material resources consumption, relying too much on extensive scale expansion, and relying too much on high-energy and high-emission industries has also accumulated certain structural problems.

　　As China’s economy changes from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, it is urgent to change the development mode, optimize the economic structure and change the growth momentum in order to cross the major barrier of economic development. Green development is the development concept of innovation-oriented, intensive and efficient, and quality first. It is the only way to cultivate and expand new industries, new formats and new models.

　　An important aspect of the ecological civilization system planned by the supreme leader is the ecological economic system with industrial ecologicalization and ecological industrialization as the main body. In the supreme leader’s view, ecology is resources and ecology is productivity.

　　Just as he said to forestry workers when he inspected the suspension of logging in Shangganling forest area of Heilongjiang Province, "As long as you are hardworking and willing to do it, you will be able to harvest Jinshan Yinshan by guarding the green mountains and green hills."

　　At the national eco-environmental protection conference, the top leaders deployed key tasks to comprehensively promote green development, including adjusting the economic structure and energy structure, optimizing the layout of land space development, adjusting the industrial layout of regional river basins, cultivating and expanding energy-saving and environmental protection industries, clean production industries and clean energy industries, promoting comprehensive resource conservation and recycling, realizing the circular link between production systems and living systems, advocating a simple and moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle, and opposing extravagance and waste and unreasonable consumption.

　　These tasks are very important for establishing and improving a green and low-carbon circular economic system and promoting high-quality development. Implementing these tasks well will inevitably bring more and more real sense of gain to the people.

　　Building a sustainable "green bank" for ordinary people

　　Ecological prosperity leads to civilized prosperity, while ecological decline leads to civilized decline. The construction of ecological civilization is a fundamental plan for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.

　　Chinese civilization has lasted for more than 5000 years. How to achieve sustainable development? Respecting nature, conforming to nature and protecting ecology are the answers given by the supreme leader.

　　The supreme leader vigorously promotes the construction of ecological civilization, but also wants to leave a "green bank" for future generations, which is the most fundamental and long-term development interest of the people.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has placed the construction of ecological civilization in the strategic position of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s "five in one" overall layout, and promoted historic, turning and overall changes in ecological environmental protection.

　　At the national conference on ecological environmental protection, the supreme leader put forward six principles to promote the construction of ecological civilization in the new era, demanding that the construction of the "five major systems" of ecological civilization be accelerated, and the deployment should resolutely fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control. Each of these "six principles" and "five systems" is a fundamental and long-term work, and each of them is related to the background of a well-off society in an all-round way and the national rejuvenation plan.

　　In this speech, the Supreme Leader set a clear timetable for the construction of "Beautiful China": to ensure that by 2035, the ecological environment quality will be fundamentally improved and the goal of "Beautiful China" will be basically achieved. By the middle of this century, the five major civilizations will be upgraded in an all-round way, a green development mode and lifestyle will be fully formed, man and nature will coexist harmoniously, and the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity in the field of ecological environment will be fully realized, and a beautiful China will be built.

　　This "timetable" is closely related to the pace of building a well-off society in an all-round way and starting a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way determined by the 19 th National Congress. The supreme leader said earnestly that we must grit our teeth, climb this slope and cross this hurdle.
