Jiangnan dangui fragrance, northern autumn leaves are gorgeous, branches and fruits are abundant, high sky and blue sky... In the golden autumn of October, the beauty of the land of Shenzhou is intoxicating.

This is the vibrant green extension of China. Hainan gibbons like baby apes, "smiling angels" Yangtze River porpoises appear frequently, the number of Tibetan antelope populations has increased significantly, and good news of the protection of rare and endangered species in various places has been frequently spread. China's forest area and forest stock have maintained "double growth" for 30 consecutive years, becoming the country with the largest increase in forest resources in the world.

This is a China where man and nature coexist in harmony. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, people enjoy the beauty of nature among the green waters and green mountains with constantly improving "appearance". The Asian elephants in Yunnan travel more than 1,300 kilometers round and round, and the picture of people caring for the elephants and the peace of the elephants warms people's hearts, becoming another vivid example of China's harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

This is China, which is leading global ecological governance. The 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity will be held in Kunming, Yunnan Province, with the theme of "Ecological Civilization: Building a Community of Life on Earth", and China will discuss with all parties a new strategy for global biodiversity governance.

When ecology prospers, civilization prospers. President Xi Jinping pointed out at the United Nations Biodiversity Summit held on September 30, 2020: "We must stand at the height of responsibility for human civilization, respect nature, conform to nature, protect nature, explore the road of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, promote the coordination and unity of economic development and ecological protection, and build a prosperous, clean and beautiful world." ”

China attaches great importance to ecological environmental protection, upholds the important concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, advocates harmonious coexistence between man and nature, incorporates the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of national development, and strives to build a beautiful China.

China uses the concept of ecological civilization to guide development and strives to build a modernization in which man and nature coexist in harmony

Strengthening the construction of ecological civilization is an inevitable requirement for promoting high-quality economic and social development, and it is also the consensus and voice of the broad masses. ”

"The Yangtze River is sick, and it is not lightly ill." General Secretary Xi Jinping personally opened the pulse, promoted the 11 provinces along the river to control pollution, restore the ecology, and coordinate efforts, "jointly grasp the great protection, do not engage in large-scale development", and forge a new path of ecological priority and green development.

From January 1 this year, key waters such as the main stream and important tributaries of the Yangtze River, large tongjiang lakes and the specified areas of the Yangtze River estuary have officially launched a ten-year fishing ban, and the yangtze river organisms will be better able to recuperate and reproduce stably.

From the Yangtze River to the Jiuqu Yellow River, from the majestic Qinling Mountains to the magnificent Qilian Mountains, from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the black land in the northeast, General Secretary Xi Jinping is concerned about it and entrusted by Yin Yin.

"The ecological environment is a major political issue related to the party's mission and purpose, and it is also a major social issue related to people's livelihood." Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has placed the construction of ecological civilization in a prominent position in the overall work and made a series of major strategic deployments. The concept of green water and green mountains is the consensus and action of the whole party and the whole society, and the good ecological environment has become an important embodiment of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

Located in the northernmost part of Hebei Province, saihanba mechanical forest farm, the forest sea is green and continuous. In the past 60 years, the builders of Saihanba Forest Farm have created a human miracle of changing the wasteland into a forest and sea, and won the "Guardian of the Earth Award", the highest honor of environmental protection of the United Nations. "We will continue to vigorously carry forward the spirit of Saihanba and nurture, manage and protect this forest well." By 2030, the area of forest land in forest farms should reach 1.2 million mu, and the forest coverage rate should be increased to 86%, and a new chapter of green development should be written. Chen Zhiqing, director of the Saihanba Mechanical Forestry Farm, said.

Protect the ecological environment like protecting the eyes, and treat the ecological environment like life. Countless "Saihan Dams" are gathering the magnificent forces of modernization to build harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and embark on a path of civilized development with production and development, affluent life and good ecology.

China has taken strong policy actions to promote biodiversity governance in a coordinated manner

In the autumn, climb the Oxhead Monument at an altitude of 4610 meters in Maduo County, Qinghai Province, and look at the source of the Yellow River, the blue waves of Eling Lake and Zhaling Lake, and the Tibetan hartebeest and Tibetan wild donkeys leisurely inhabit.

In August 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Qinghai to inspect, and at the Qinghai Ecological Environment Monitoring Center, he listened to the overall situation of the construction of ecological civilization in the province and the ecological protection of the Sanjiangyuan area and the pilot work of the national park system, viewed the real-time monitoring situation through remote video, and conducted video exchanges with grass-roots cadres and stewards at the two monitoring points of the Eling Lake-Zhaling Lake, the source of the Yellow River in Maduo County, and the Aungsai Lancang River Grand Canyon in Zaduo County.

Biodiversity is related to human well-being and is an important foundation for human survival and development. China attaches great importance to biodiversity conservation and adopts a series of effective policies and measures, and has achieved remarkable results.

-- Accelerating the pace of legislation and consolidating the foundation of the rule of law for biodiversity conservation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has formulated and revised more than 50 laws and regulations related to biodiversity conservation. The system of laws and regulations on biodiversity conservation is improving day by day.

-- Delineating red lines for ecological protection and guarding important ecological spaces. At present, the delineation of the national ecological protection redline has been basically completed, and the proportion of the ecological protection redline area is not less than 25% of the land area.

-- Implement major ecological projects to lay a solid foundation for biodiversity conservation. China's integrated management of landscapes, forests, lakes, grass and sand ice, the implementation of farmland to forests and grasslands, the construction of the Three North ShelterBelt system and other major ecological protection projects, in the past 10 years, China's forest resources growth area of more than 70 million hectares, ranking first in the world.

Adhering to the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, China has become an important participant, contributor and leader in the construction of global ecological civilization

In the face of ecological and environmental challenges, mankind is a community of common destiny with both prosperity and loss, and no country can stand alone. China actively participates in global environmental governance, strives to promote the construction of a fair and reasonable global environmental governance system with win-win cooperation, and contributes Chinese wisdom, Chinese ideas and Chinese solutions to the world.

"China has become an important participant, contributor and leader in the construction of global ecological civilization, advocating accelerating the construction of an ecological system that respects nature and green development, and jointly building a clean and beautiful world." On May 18, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection.

-- Earnestly implement multilateral conventions and protocols related to the ecological environment and play an active role.

China leads the global climate change negotiation process and actively promotes the signing, entry into force and implementation of the Paris Agreement. Adhering to the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, China is continuing to make arduous efforts to increase the intensity of its nationally determined contributions, and strive to achieve carbon peaks by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.

China has ratified and implemented more than 30 multilateral conventions or protocols related to the ecological environment and strictly fulfilled its treaty obligations. China is one of the first countries to sign and ratify the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, and has established more than 10,000 nature reserves of various types, accounting for about 18% of the land area, and has achieved the 17% requirement set by the "Aichi Targets" of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity ahead of schedule.

-- Promote the green development of the "Belt and Road" to benefit the people of all countries along the route.

In the upper reaches of the Neretva River in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Ulog hydropower project undertaken by China Power Construction Group is steadily advancing. "After the hydropower station is put into operation, it is expected to save about 33,000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 83,000 tons per year." Zhang Hua, project manager of the Ulog hydropower station, said.

The "Belt and Road" is the road of open development and the road of green development. China initiated the establishment of the Belt and Road International Alliance for Green Development, with partners involving more than 40 countries. The "Belt and Road" ecological and environmental protection big data service platform has been gradually built, including biodiversity-related data from more than 100 countries.

-- Providing assistance to developing countries and shouldering international responsibilities commensurate with the level of development.

China has done its utmost to help developing countries improve their environmental management capacities. In Asia, China regularly holds the Lancang-Mekong Roundtable Dialogue on Environmental Cooperation. In Africa, China regards ecological protection as one of the main areas of cooperation and provides biodiversity conservation equipment to relevant countries. In the fields of green economy and compliance with international environmental conventions, China has carried out a series of projects and activities to improve the environmental management capabilities of developing countries, benefiting more than 80 countries around the world.

China's "green answer sheet" has been widely recognized by the international community. From 11 to 15 October, the first phase of the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity will be held in Kunming. "This is the first time that the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Environment Convention has taken 'ecological civilization' as the theme of the conference, highlighting the distinct world significance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization." The purpose of defining this theme is to emphasize that man and nature are a community of life, which reflects the confidence and determination of China and the international community to work together to curb the loss of biodiversity and promote the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Huang Runqiu, minister of ecology and environment, said.

On the new journey, China will adhere to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, coordinate to promote the prosperity of the people, the strength of the country, and the beauty of China, and build a beautiful home in harmony with all countries in the world, so that future generations can enjoy rich material wealth, and can also see the green mountains and smell the flowers from afar.
