Author: Wang Zhihua, Liu Di (Service Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment)

At the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a message to Chinese youth in the new era: "The future belongs to the youth, and hope is placed on the youth." "Earnestly looking forward to" the Chinese youth in the new era should take it as their duty to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, enhance their ambition, backbone, and confidence to be Chinese, and live up to the times, Shaohua, and the ardent expectations of the party and the people! ”

This is the call of the times and the expectation of the young people with aspirations of the Chinese nation, and it is also the motto that young cadres in the ecological environment system must bear in mind and consciously practice.

The System of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has more than 3,500 young cadres under the age of 40, accounting for nearly 70% of the total number of cadres and workers, which is a new force in the construction of ecological civilization and an important guarantee for promoting the continuous victory of ecological environmental protection. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, young cadres in the ecological and environmental system have actively participated in winning the battle against pollution, fearless of hardships and dangers, charging ahead, daring to be the vanguard and commando, and fully demonstrating the excellent qualities of being particularly able to endure hardships, fight and dedicate. Looking forward to the future, on the main battlefield of in-depth fight against pollution and continuous improvement of the quality of the ecological environment, it is all the more necessary for young cadres to exalt the lofty ambition, backbone, and heavy confidence that are related to the future and destiny of the party and the country, not forget the original intention, keep in mind the mission, make the tide stand at the head of the tide, strive to become an iron army of ecological environmental protection, and make new contributions to the party and the people.

Strengthen ambition with ideals and beliefs

"The trend of ambition is not far away, the poor mountains are far from the sea, and there is no limit to it", only by aiming high can we go steadily and far. When young people have faith, the country will have strength and the nation will have hope. Over the past hundred years, under the leadership of the party, under the inspiration of Marxism, and under the call of the mission of national independence, freedom, and rejuvenation, generations of young people with lofty ideals have issued a sonorous oath of "sacrificing more ambitions and daring to teach the sun and the moon to change the heavens." Through hardships and obstacles, they persevered and persevered, won the victory of China's revolution, construction, and reform and opening up, and wrote a magnificent and brilliant chapter of youth. Practice has proved that the original mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation is the core and center of young people's ambition.

Thinking about the past, in order to become a qualified ecological and environmental protection youth iron army, we must inherit the fine traditions of our revolutionary ancestors, adhere to the people-centered development thinking, set lofty ambitions, and take the next step. On the new journey of building a beautiful China, we will further enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", achieve "two maintenance", and always keep in mind that ecological environmental protection is the "greatest of the country". The dedication of "I will live up to the people without myself and the people" and the dedication of "I will dedicate myself to the party and the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are integrated.

At present, the "14th Five-Year Plan" has begun, and China's ecological civilization construction has entered a critical period of promoting pollution reduction and carbon reduction synergy and promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. Striving to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee after careful consideration, a solemn commitment made by China to the world, and a matter of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. To become a qualified ecological and environmental protection youth iron army, we must stand at the height of world progress and historical development, understand and coordinate pollution control, ecological protection and response to climate change, with the mind of "success does not have to be in me, success must have me", bravely be the pioneers, pioneers and devotees who walk in the forefront of the times, shape the youth of China with the youth of me, and make unremitting efforts to build a beautiful China in which man and nature coexist in harmony, so as to be worthy of the predecessors and worthy of future generations.

Temper the bones with the spirit of struggle

"The rich and the noble cannot be lascivious, the poor cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent", this is a vivid portrayal of the iron bones of Chinese Zhengzheng. Looking back over the past hundred years, the revolutionary ancestors have faced the indomitable arrogance of a strong enemy, the festival of not being afraid in the face of sacrifice, the righteousness of being upright in the face of evil, and the sharp spirit of going up against the current in the face of difficulties, which has explained the profound connotation of backbone for contemporary youth. In the final analysis, the backbone is to dare to struggle and take responsibility in the face of challenges.

Needless to say, at present, the structural, root-cause and trend pressure of China's ecological environmental protection has not been alleviated on the whole, the industrial structure dominated by heavy chemical industry, the energy structure dominated by coal, and the transportation structure dominated by road freight have not fundamentally changed, the severe situation facing environmental pollution and ecological protection has not fundamentally changed, and the high-risk situation of frequent occurrence of environmental incidents has not fundamentally changed. The improvement of the quality of the ecological environment, the inflection point from quantitative change to qualitative change has not yet arrived, and the situation and tasks facing ecological environmental protection in the next stage are still very severe and arduous. Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality is a broad and profound economic and social systemic change, and the difficulties and challenges are unprecedented and cannot be achieved easily. Therefore, in their actual work, young cadres of ecological and environmental protection should see the general trend, maintain their concentration, profoundly understand the direction they are in and the direction of progress, not be confused, confused, and confused by risks and challenges, but must have the courage to withstand the wind and rain, see the world, strengthen their bones, continue to overcome difficulties, forge ahead, perform their duties, be honest and self-disciplined, and truly be able to see it in ordinary times, stand up at critical moments, and be open-minded at critical junctures, so that the wind and bones can be firm in their responsibilities and the temperament can be sublimated in the struggle.

Build a solid foundation with ability and ability

"Confident life for two hundred years, will be when the water hits three thousand miles", the confidence comes from strength, strength to promote self-confidence. Modern Chinese history tells us that backwardness must be beaten, and only by making unremitting efforts to improve ourselves can we stand in an invincible position. The Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong, and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process, which is where the deepest confidence of contemporary Chinese youth lies.

The construction of ecological civilization has entered a new era, and it is even more necessary to have the spirit of "courage and perseverance, and tireless volunteerism". To become a qualified ecological and environmental protection youth iron army, we must always focus on in-depth fight against pollution, continue to improve the quality of the ecological environment, based on accurate pollution control, scientific pollution control, and pollution management according to law. In the hard work to consolidate the professional foundation, in the implementation of tasks to exercise skills, in the solution of difficult problems to improve the level, so that the officer can do things. In addition to tirelessly improving professional and technical capabilities, it is also necessary to comprehensively improve political ability, investigation and research ability, scientific decision-making ability, reform and tackling tough problems, emergency response ability, mass work ability, implementation ability, and have an international vision and an open mind, and can view and grasp the cause of ecological environmental protection from the perspective of building a community with a shared future for mankind. In particular, it is necessary to unremittingly strengthen the study of political theory, continuously enhance political judgment, political understanding, and political execution, unify theoretical understanding with practical understanding, and display the style of young cadres with comprehensive and excellent skills, so as to live up to their mission.

It should be realized that the growth of young people is inseparable from the care and cultivation of party organizations. The construction of ecological civilization is a millennium plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, which has the characteristics of long-term and arduousness. Therefore, cultivating and building a young iron army of ecological and environmental protection who are politically strong, highly skilled, hard-working, and dare to take responsibility, and planting the ambition, backbone, and confidence of young cadres, is a very important historical responsibility of party organizations at all levels of the ecological environment system. For young cadres and workers in the ecological environment system, party organizations at all levels should adhere to the combination of strict management and love, be eclectic, boldly use, dare to temper and test young cadres in urgent, difficult, dangerous, and heavy tasks, and be good at discovering and promoting young cadres who have performed outstanding performance in key or important posts, so as to provide a better platform for growth.

In the prosperous world, we should know our responsibilities and forge ahead, and we should shoulder heavy responsibilities and push forward. Ecological and environmental protection young cadres should take advantage of the spring breeze of the new era, implement the oath of "please rest assured that the party, the country has me" in their daily work and in concrete actions, adhere to the spirit of not falling, the bones are not loose, the confidence is not lost, and the surging strength is gathered in the youth struggle that walks with history and synchronizes with the times, and dedicates the youth strength to the construction of a beautiful China.
