Environmental governance is not tolerant of "white paper"

author:Xinhua

Beijing, 19 Jan (Xinhua) -- On 19 January, the Xinhua Daily Telegraph published a commentary entitled "Environmental Governance Is Not Tolerant of 'Handing Over white papers'."

According to Xinhua News Agency, the second round of the fifth batch of central ecological environmental protection supervision group reported 4 provinces and regions typical cases on the 17th, of which the inspection team found in Heilongjiang Province that the Acheng District of Harbin City was listed as a "key treatment area for mine geological environment", but the ecological restoration of the mine was "handed over to the white paper" on the grounds of insufficient funds, and no mine restoration work has been started so far.

The question is sobering. In recent years, the Central Environmental Inspectorate has exposed many similar cases. Some put the planning requirements "on the shelf", and the construction of environmental protection facilities stayed on paper; some "turned a blind eye" to the enterprise's sewage discharge, and environmental monitoring played "hide and seek"; some, although not "white rolls", just casually "fooled around" and hastily did things. Let this wind spread, some environmental problems are bound to drag on more and more, and the opinions of the people will become larger and larger, and the harm will not be shallow.

Environmental governance "white paper", turning a blind eye to the pollution problem under the eyelids, this is a typical formalism and bureaucracy in the field of ecological environmental protection, but also reflects the development concept of some cadres, the concept of political performance has deviated. In the face of environmental governance, some people take chances, regard environmental protection inspectors as "a gust of wind," and try to pass the test in confusion; some cadres dare not move to the truth, believe in the backward thinking that "new officials do not pay attention to old accounts," and resign themselves to "old and difficult" environmental problems.

Environmental governance is not tolerant of "white paper"

It's time to wake up!

At the 2022 World Economic Forum video conference, President Xi Jinping stressed that "China will unswervingly promote the construction of ecological civilization" and "China adheres to the concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, promotes the integrated protection and systematic governance of grass and sand in landscapes, forests, lakes, grasses and sands, and goes all out to promote the construction of ecological civilization, go all out to strengthen pollution prevention and control, and go all out to improve the people's production and living environment".

The construction of ecological civilization and environmental governance is a "must-answer question", not a "multiple choice question". The act of "handing over white papers" should be resolutely "sentenced to zero points", discovered together, investigated and punished together, and warned. The environment is the people's livelihood, the green mountains are beautiful, and the blue sky is happiness. The vast number of cadres should calculate long-term accounts and big accounts, truly imprint the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" in their minds and implement them in action, bear in mind the "great power of the country", look at environmental problems with an attitude of being responsible to the people, solve environmental problems with the spirit of nails, and hand over the "environmental protection answer sheet" that satisfies the people with practical governance measures.
