The "Opinions of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council on Strengthening the Zoning Control of the Ecological Environment" clarifies the main objectives, key tasks and safeguard measures for comprehensively strengthening the zoning control of the ecological environment in the new era, and further consolidates the institutional foundation for the construction of a beautiful China.
China has a vast territory, diverse ecological environment space, and complex ecological and environmental problems, and the management of a single region, a single element, and a single problem can no longer meet the requirements of ecological environment system governance.
The implementation of ecological environment zoning control is to fully respect the laws of nature and regional differences, establish a sub-regional and unitized environmental management system based on the information sharing platform, implement the ecological protection red line, environmental quality bottom line, and resource utilization online hard constraints into specific space units, and implement the "one unit, one strategy" according to local conditions in accordance with the principles of national guidance, provincial overall planning, and municipal landing, formulate ecological environment access lists for each unit, and promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth in a coordinated manner, so as to achieve differentiation, precision, and A high level of ecological and environmental governance.
Ecological environment zoning control is essentially based on the governance of land and space zoning classification, which should not only ensure ecological functions and improve environmental quality as the core goals, but also serve major national strategies, promote green and low-carbon development, and support local comprehensive decision-making.
The zoning control of the ecological environment is the deepening and refinement of the strategy of the main functional zone. Under the framework of various main functional zones, the zoning and control of the ecological environment further refines the bottom line requirements for the environmental quality of air, water and soil and the requirements for the development and utilization of major resources, and implements them to specific regional units, so as to do a good job in the extension and implementation of the planning of the main functional zones in the field of ecological environment, and promote the continuous development of the ecological environment of the main functional zones through active, prudent, sustainable and stable and accurately applicable control policies.
Ecological environment zoning control is the implementation of territorial spatial planning in the field of ecological and environmental protection. The zoning control of the ecological environment has been fully implemented and effectively connected with the Outline of the National Territorial Spatial Planning (2021-2035), following the ecological protection red line delineated by the territorial spatial planning, and the "three lines and one single" method and technology are also consistent with the overall idea of "double evaluation" of territorial spatial planning. Specifically, the determination of priority protection units and key management and control units of the ecological environment also emphasizes the implementation of the results of the delineation of "three zones and three lines".
Ecological environment zoning control is also a broadening and extension of the industrial access list. Development and reform departments for the national key regions, key ecological function areas, etc., the implementation of "one administrative region, a unified set of industrial access list" management system. The ecological environment access list in the ecological environment zoning control reflects the needs of environmental quality improvement in regions and river basins from a fine scale, and is refined to specific regional units, clarifying the ecological environment access and restriction requirements in specific regional units, and promoting the implementation of the industrial access list of development and reform departments in specific regions, parks and units. The zoning control of the ecological environment further broadens the content and scope of the list, and refines the governance units and protection requirements.
In general, the system construction and system construction of ecological environment zoning control are based on the overall goal of ensuring ecological functions and improving environmental quality, focusing on the implementation of ecological protection red lines, environmental quality bottom lines, and hard constraints on resource utilization, and implementing the concept of source prevention, systematic protection and access list system by dividing ecological environment management units, which is not only a key measure for the country to promote the modernization of the ecological environment governance system and governance capacity, but also a key measure for the country to build a new development pattern. It is an important part of promoting high-quality development strategies and institutional systems.
To promote the zoning and control of the ecological environment, it is necessary to adhere to a blueprint to the end, and fully do a good job in the connection between the zoning control of the ecological environment and the "one map" system of land and space planning. It is necessary to learn to understand the role of ecological environment zoning control in the territorial spatial planning system, and ensure that the system is complete, the structure is clear, the content is complementary, and the problems are covered. It is necessary to fully realize the important value of the zoning control and construction of the ecological environment to the overall planning of land space, and further improve the system of main functional zones, improve the land and space planning system, and coordinate and optimize the spatial layout of agriculture, ecology, and cities by ensuring the realization of ecological functions and improving environmental quality.
To promote the zoning and control of the ecological environment, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of adapting measures to local conditions and implementing precise policies. Adhere to the principle of national guidance, provincial overall planning, and municipal implementation, and pay attention to regional differences, regional differences, and endowment differences in the process of compiling and issuing ecological and environmental zoning control plans within the administrative region at different levels, so as to truly achieve fine formulation and precise implementation.
To promote the zoning and control of the ecological environment, we must also adhere to the times and scientific guidance. It is necessary to give full play to the important supporting role of information in systematic, overall and holistic aspects, and accelerate the introduction of a new generation of information technology, artificial intelligence, and the integration and innovation of ecological environment zoning control through relevant mechanisms such as data sharing and achievement application, so as to truly realize the digital intelligence of ecological environment zoning control information.
