The local two conferences issued an upgraded version of the ＂green list＂
Core reading
Recently, two local conferences have been held one after another. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power. This year’s local two conferences attached great importance to the construction of ecological civilization, consciously implemented the concept of green development, and put forward the tasks of fighting a tough battle against pollution and implementing the reform of the ecological civilization system.
As of January 30, the two sessions in 31 provinces have been held, and there are many highlights in the work deployment in various places. From carrying out the concept of green development to carrying out the task of reforming the ecological civilization system, from fighting a tough battle against pollution to carrying out major ecological restoration projects, all provinces attach great importance to the construction of ecological civilization despite their different resource endowments.
What green development signals have been revealed by the local two conferences this year? What key tasks are worth looking forward to?
Development emphasizes high-quality, green and low-carbon circular development, and the economic system is gradually improved
In this year’s local two conferences, many places emphasized "high-quality development" when deploying their work. Some provinces played down GDP growth targets and paid more attention to ecological and environmental protection and other important indicators that reflect the quality of development.
Shanxi adjusted the GDP growth rate, but the requirements for binding indicators were not relaxed: the energy consumption per 10,000 yuan GDP decreased by 3.2%, the carbon dioxide emissions per 10,000 yuan GDP decreased by 3.9%, and the water consumption per 10,000 yuan GDP decreased by 3.9%. Chongqing plans to implement dual control actions of energy, water resources, total amount and intensity of construction land. Xinjiang implements the new development concept, promotes high-quality economic development and strives to build a beautiful Xinjiang. Fujian will focus on green development, promote green technology innovation, expand green industries such as energy conservation and environmental protection, and increase the consumption proportion of clean energy and renewable energy.
The economic system of green and low-carbon circular development is also gradually improving. Guangdong will optimize the energy structure, implement the management of coal reduction in the Pearl River Delta, and vigorously develop clean energy such as wind energy, solar energy and nuclear energy. Chongqing will promote the green transformation of industrial development, establish and improve a green and low-carbon circular development economic system, and expand energy-saving and environmental protection, clean production and clean energy industries. Anhui will strengthen energy-saving and environmental protection industrial clusters, integrate the concept of "ecology+"into industrial development, and form a spatial pattern, industrial structure and production mode that saves resources and protects the environment.
In this regard, Li Zuojun, deputy director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center, said that green development is an inherent part of high-quality development, which is reflected in two aspects: on the one hand, high-quality development should meet people’s needs for a better life, including the need for a beautiful ecological environment, which depends on green development; On the other hand, high-quality development requires less resource and energy consumption and environmental damage to achieve economic development. "This year, some places downplayed GDP indicators, which has multiple reasons: there are both the policy orientation of the central government, the realistic constraints of local economic development, and the consideration of green development."
Pollution prevention and control, air, water and soil control work together.
Fighting a tough battle against pollution has been repeatedly mentioned in the local two sessions. Many provinces have put forward specific measures and objectives and tasks for pollution prevention and control.
After the first phase of "Atmosphere Ten" ended, some provinces are formulating and implementing a new round of air pollution prevention and control action plan. Beijing said that it is determined to fight the blue sky defense war, and the prevention and control of air pollution will change from "structural emission reduction" to "connotative emission reduction". Liaoning will do a good job in the rectification and implementation of the central environmental protection inspector and the national marine inspector, and continue to fight the blue sky defense war. Shandong continued to implement air pollution prevention and control actions, actively carried out joint prevention and control of air pollution in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and surrounding areas, accelerated the control of loose coal pollution, and carried out the actions of replacing coal with electricity and gas in a safe and orderly manner. Hunan issued an action plan to implement the blue sky defense war, focusing on winning the blue sky defense war in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan.
In terms of water pollution prevention and control, Jiangsu has further implemented the ecological river and lake action plan, implemented the river length system and the lake length system, promoted pollution control in the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Taihu Lake basins and coastal waters, eliminated the V-class section that failed the national examination, completed the remediation of centralized drinking water sources at or above the county level, and accelerated the treatment of urban black and odorous water bodies. Hainan said that it is necessary to ensure that all the polluted water bodies in inland rivers and lakes in 64 towns meet the standards, and the excellent water quality rate of major rivers and lakes is not less than 95%. Yunnan has strengthened ecosystem restoration and comprehensive environmental management in key river basins, actively participated in the construction of green ecological corridors in the Yangtze River, promoted the rescue protection of Erhai Lake, and strengthened the protection and management of nine plateau lakes such as Dianchi Lake and Fuxian Lake. Guangxi has continued to implement the management of Jiuzhou River, Nanliu River and Xialei River basins, strengthened the protection of marine environment, and strengthened the management of agricultural non-point source pollution and urban black and odorous water bodies. Sichuan has fully implemented the system of river length and lake length, and intensified the rectification of major rivers such as Tuojiang River and Minjiang River and 24 seriously polluted small watersheds.
In terms of soil pollution prevention and control, Hunan has implemented 62 key projects for soil pollution prevention and control, carried out farmland restoration and crop planting structure adjustment in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, and increased the protection of ecological green centers in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan urban agglomerations. Inner Mongolia stepped up efforts to prevent and control soil pollution and reduce heavy metal emissions, rectified the environment of industrial parks, and withdrew from industrial and mining enterprises in nature reserves in an orderly manner according to law.
Li Zuojun said, "Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, local governments have taken the three major battles as the key tasks at present and in the future. As far as the battle of pollution prevention and control is concerned, it has some new features compared with the past: First, it has paid more attention to it and is more advanced in the work ranking; Second, the work is more practical, that is, it is implemented with tangible actions; Third, it is more targeted, that is, according to the local actual situation, the focus of the promotion is different. Although the "Atmosphere Ten", "Water Ten" and "Soil Ten" have been launched in sequence, local governments attach great importance to it. For example, in the prevention and control of water pollution, every river and lake has a special person in charge.
Compacting and compacting various tasks, the reform of ecological civilization system has been continuously promoted.
Audit of natural resources assets leaving office, environmental protection tax and compensation system for ecological environment damage & HELIP; … A number of systems promulgated by the state to deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system are being refined and implemented in various places.
Chongqing said that it is necessary to reform the ecological environment supervision system, improve the system of ecological civilization system, strengthen performance evaluation and accountability, and form an environmental governance system with the government as the leading factor, enterprises as the main body, social organizations and the public as the participants.
Yunnan will start the reform of the compensation system for ecological environment damage and comprehensively promote the audit of natural resources assets of leading cadres.
Zhejiang will speed up the reform of environmental monitoring, supervision and law enforcement system, comprehensively carry out the outgoing audit of natural resources assets, establish and improve the reward and punishment mechanism for environmental protection and the financial reward and compensation mechanism for green development, and establish and improve the trading system of energy use rights based on energy consumption per unit of GDP.
Ningxia should strictly implement the spatial planning, formulate the implementation supervision and assessment methods, complete the demarcation and demarcation of the red line of ecological environmental protection, issue the "three zones and three lines" management and control rules, establish and improve the market-oriented and diversified ecological compensation mechanism, earnestly strengthen the environmental protection supervision and assessment, and severely punish acts that damage the ecological environment according to law.
According to the actual work, many places have listed a "green list" that conforms to the provincial conditions.
Fujian, as a national ecological civilization experimental zone, indicated that it would speed up the construction of the national ecological civilization experimental zone and complete four annual reform tasks.
Xinjiang started to implement the plan of recuperation of cultivated land, grassland, rivers and lakes, strengthened the construction of ecological barriers in key areas such as sandstorm source areas, vigorously implemented two million mu of ecological control and greening projects for sand control in Aksu, and strived to build an ecological security barrier.
In 2017, Hoh Xil in Qinghai successfully declared the World Natural Heritage, and the pilot project of Sanjiangyuan National Park system progressed smoothly. In 2018, Qinghai will implement and deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system such as the management of state-owned natural resources assets.
Li Zuojun believes that system construction and system reform are the most fundamental measures for green development, and the 13th Five-Year Plan also emphasizes the need to use systems to protect the environment. "Whether it is pollution control or efficient use of resources and energy, it depends on the behavior of all subjects, and the guidance of each subject’s behavior depends on the system. It is commendable that the current reform of the ecological civilization system is constantly moving forward, especially the implementation of environmental protection inspectors and other systems has achieved remarkable results. At the same time, the property rights system of natural resources assets and the trading system of carbon emission rights are being accelerated and improved, and these systems will continue to play a role for a long time.
