The National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection was held in Beijing, and General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the conference, comprehensively summarizing the great achievements made by the construction of ecological civilization in the mainland since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and incisively summarized the "four major changes": to achieve a major transformation from key rectification to systematic governance, to achieve a major transformation from passive response to active action, to achieve a major transformation from a participant in global environmental governance to a leader, and to realize a major transformation from practical exploration to scientific theoretical guidance. The "four major changes" fully prove the truth and practical power of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, and further enhance the historical self-confidence and historical initiative of the whole party and the people of the whole country to build a modern era of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Focusing on the historic, turning point and overall changes in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The construction of ecological civilization has undergone historic, turning and overall changes from theory to practice, and the construction of a beautiful China has taken a major step. The "Four Major Changes" highly condense the great achievements of the construction of ecological civilization in the new era, and highlight the historical, turning point and overall changes in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era from theory to practice. Historic changes. The decade of the new era is the decade with the deepest understanding, the greatest intensity, the most practical measures, the fastest progress and the best results in ecological and environmental protection. The average concentration of PM2.5 in key cities on the mainland has dropped by 57% to 29 micrograms per cubic meter in 2022, and the number of heavily polluted days has decreased by 93%, making it the fastest improving country in the world in terms of air quality. The proportion of excellent surface water bodies reached 87.9%, and the main stream of the Yangtze River and the main stream of the Yellow River reached Class II water quality. Over the past 10 years, the quality of the ecological environment has improved markedly, and the improvement has been unprecedented. Turning point change. In response to the environmental problems accumulated by high growth over the past years, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has adhered to precise pollution control, scientific pollution control, and pollution control in accordance with the law, resolutely fought the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, and strived to reverse the deterioration of the ecological environment. In the face of the urgent need to promote high-quality development through green and low-carbon transformation, we have adhered to the principle that green development is a profound revolution in the concept of development, supported economic growth of more than 6% per year with an average annual growth rate of energy consumption of 3%, and reduced carbon emission intensity by more than 35%, reversing the rapid growth of carbon dioxide emissions. In the past ten years, the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets has become a general consensus and action of the whole society, and the consciousness and initiative of the whole party and the people of the whole country to promote the construction of ecological civilization have been significantly enhanced. Global changes. In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has made all-round efforts in terms of ideology, law, system, organization and style, strengthened the party's overall leadership over the construction of ecological civilization, strengthened ecological environmental protection in all directions, regions and processes, promoted a series of transformative practices, achieved a series of breakthroughs, achieved a series of landmark achievements, and created an ecological miracle and a green development miracle that attracted worldwide attention. At the same time, we will promote the conclusion, signing, entry into force and implementation of the Paris Agreement, give full play to the political leadership of the presidency of the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and reach the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework after two phases of meetings. Deeply understand and grasp the internal unity of the "four major changes" The "four major changes" proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping highlight the distinctive characteristics of the interconnection between history and reality, the combination of theory and practice, and the correlation between domestic and international. The "four major transformations" are interrelated, complementary, and mutually reinforcing, forming an organic and unified whole. A major shift from key rectification to system governance. It's a shift in ways and approaches that provides a strategic path for other major shifts. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has started by solving outstanding ecological and environmental problems, focusing on the combination of points and areas, treating both the symptoms and the root causes, and continuing to fight the battle of defending the blue sky, clear water and pure land, and promoting the significant improvement of the quality of the ecological environment. Adhere to the overall planning of the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands, strive to solve the problems of headache and foot pain, and each management is the same and mutually restrictive, and seek the point of force, balance and growth in multiple goals, so as to promote the significant improvement of the level and efficiency of ecological and environmental governance. A major shift from reactive to proactive. This is a shift in mindset and responsibility that provides direction for other major shifts. In the new era, our party insists on changing concepts, consolidating responsibilities, and constantly enhancing the consciousness and initiative of the whole party and the whole country to promote the construction of ecological civilization, and transforming the construction of a beautiful China into the conscious action of all people. Adhere to green development as a profound revolution in the concept of development, establish and improve the system of "the same responsibility of the party and the government" and "one post with two responsibilities" for ecological and environmental protection, and promote the green transformation of economic and social development. A major shift from a global environmental governance actor to a leader. It's a shift in mindset and landscape that provides a global perspective for other major shifts. We keep up with the times, look to the world, assume the responsibility of a major country, show the responsibility of a major country, stand at the height of being responsible for human civilization, put forward the idea of jointly building a community of life on earth, and join hands with other countries to build a fair, reasonable, win-win global environmental governance system, and jointly build a clean and beautiful world. A major shift from practical exploration to scientific theoretical guidance. This is a shift in thought and theory that provides a fundamental basis for other major shifts. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has profoundly grasped the important position and strategic significance of the construction of ecological civilization in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, vigorously promoted the theoretical innovation, practical innovation and institutional innovation of ecological civilization, put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies, and formed Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization. This important ideological system answers major theoretical and practical questions such as what kind of ecological civilization to build and how to build an ecological civilization, and provides a fundamental basis for the construction of ecological civilization in the new era. Major changes in ideology and theory occupy the position of overall control and control, and are changes in understanding and concepts, as well as fundamental changes in guiding the realization of other major changes. Deeply comprehend the scientific worldview and methodology contained in the "four major changes" The "four major changes" are realized under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization. The people must come first. This is a solid foundation and a solid foundation for achieving a major transformation. 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 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has complied with the people's expectations for a better life, and has made great efforts to solve outstanding environmental problems that the people have strongly responded to with a highly responsible attitude and responsibility to the people and future generations, and constantly meet the people's growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment, so that the people can most directly and truly feel the improvement of the quality of the ecological environment. Through unremitting efforts, the mainland's ecological environment has been continuously improved, the ecosystem has been continuously optimized, and the overall function has been continuously improved, and the people's sense of ecological environment gain, happiness and security has been continuously enhanced. We must insist on self-confidence and self-reliance. This is the spiritual realm and the major principle for achieving a major transformation. In a country with a huge population like ours, there is no precedent to follow and no ready-made path to build a modern society in which man and nature coexist in harmony. The great achievements of the construction of ecological civilization in the new era were created independently by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core and the people of all ethnic groups in the whole country under the leadership of the whole party. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The 'dual carbon' goal we have committed to is unswerving, but the path and method, rhythm and intensity to achieve this goal should and must be determined by ourselves, and will never be influenced by others." This clearly reflects the political consciousness, ideological consciousness and action consciousness of the Chinese Communists in the new era to insist on self-confidence and self-reliance to promote the construction of ecological civilization. We must adhere to integrity and innovation. This is the essential characteristic and fundamental of achieving a major transformation. Only by keeping integrity can we not lose our way and not make subversive mistakes, and only by innovating can we grasp the times and lead the times. Entering the new era, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has profoundly grasped the laws of the Communist Party's governance, socialist construction, and the development of human society, adhered to the combination of the basic tenets of Marxism with the practice of China's ecological civilization construction, and the combination with China's excellent traditional ecological culture. The new ideas, ideas and strategies of the overall situation have further deepened and expanded our party's understanding of the laws of the construction of ecological civilization and created a new realm of ecological civilization construction. We must be problem-oriented. This is an intrinsic requirement and a distinctive character for achieving a major transformation. In the ten years of the new era, our party has always taken solving outstanding ecological and environmental problems as the starting point and foothold of the introduction of policies, and taking the resolution of contradictions and solving problems as a breakthrough to open up the situation of ecological civilization construction in the new era. Practice has and will continue to prove that only by continuously enhancing the awareness of problems and focusing on the new situation, new tasks and new requirements faced by the construction of ecological civilization can we promote the construction of ecological civilization in the new era to continuously achieve new results, achieve new breakthroughs and reach a new level. It is necessary to adhere to the system concept. This is the basic ideological method and working method for achieving a major change. Ecological environment governance is a complex system project, and it is necessary to continuously strengthen the systematic, holistic and coordinated coordination of all aspects of ecological civilization construction, and pay attention to overall planning and coordinated advancement. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has continuously improved its strategic thinking, historical thinking, dialectical thinking, systematic thinking, innovative thinking, rule of law thinking, and bottom-line thinking ability in the construction of ecological civilization, and coordinated industrial structure adjustment, pollution control, ecological protection, and climate change response, so as to promote the realization of a win-win situation of environmental, economic and social benefits. We must keep the world in mind. This is the responsibility and powerful impetus of a major country to bring about a major transformation. Mankind has only one earth, and it is the common responsibility of all countries to protect the ecological environment and promote sustainable development. In the process of promoting the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, our party has always adhered to the principle of keeping the world in mind, standing at the height of being responsible for human civilization and future generations, taking the road of green development with all countries in the world, building a community of life on earth, and actively building a home on earth where man and nature coexist in harmony, economic development and environmental protection go hand in hand, and all countries in the world develop together, which fully demonstrates the feelings and mission of the Communist Party of China. Since the beginning of the new era, the reason why the construction of ecological civilization has been able to achieve the "four major changes" is fundamentally due to the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization. To forge ahead on the new journey, we must completely, accurately and comprehensively grasp the core essence, spiritual essence, rich connotation, and practical requirements of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, accelerate the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature in deep study and practice, and strive to write a new chapter in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era.
