National Ecology Day | United Intelligence Certification Company supports multiple businesses to promote high-quality ecological environment construction and fully support high-quality social and economic development

　　On August 15, China welcomed its first National Ecology Day. This pioneering and symbolic commemorative day reflects the important status of ecological civilization construction in the new era and demonstrates the firm determination to comprehensively promote the building of a Beautiful China.

　　Eighteen years ago on this day, Comrade Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, first proposed the concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" during an inspection in Yucun.

　　Eighteen years later, this important concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets has deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in China. Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization guides the modernization process of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, profoundly transforming the Chinese land.

　　An ancient cypress stands tall and proud. In Cuiyun Corridor, Jiange County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan, "one tree, one file" protection is implemented, daily patrols are conducted by "one person per tree," and scientific rescue measures are taken with "one policy per tree." The 20,973 ancient trees have withstood the wind and rain, remaining verdant as ever.

　　A park unfolds like a painting. Located in the urban section of Hanzhong, Shaanxi along the Han River, Tianhan Wetland Park features water amidst greenery, greenery within water, and people within the painting. A place once polluted with sewage has become a "happiness garden" for citizens.

　　A great river brims with greenery. "Jointly focusing on major protection without large-scale development," in 2022, 98.1% of the national control sections in the Yangtze River Basin achieved excellent water quality. The number of "smiling angel" finless porpoises stopped declining and began to recover, marking a turning point in the ecological environment of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

　　A forest, a park, a river—together they compose a new chapter of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.

　　"Placing the construction of a Beautiful China in a prominent position for building a strong country and national rejuvenation" and "supporting high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment, accelerating the modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature." The recently held National Ecological Environment Protection Conference issued a new call to comprehensively advance the building of a Beautiful China.

　　A developing country with a population of over 1.4 billion is entering a new era of ecological civilization, moving toward a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful socialist modernized strong country, vividly writing history and profoundly influencing the world.

　　The sky is bluer, the land greener, the water clearer, and the vast rivers and mountains more colorful.

　　The construction of ecological civilization benefits the present and the future.

　　Green advances as sand retreats; tens of thousands of acres of pine forests flourish, turning sandy land into a sea of forest—a green miracle continuously created in the Horqin Sandy Land.

　　In June this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Bayannur in Inner Mongolia and presided over a symposium on strengthening comprehensive desertification control and advancing key ecological projects such as the "Three-North" Shelterbelt Program, emphasizing: "We must bravely shoulder the mission, not fear hardships, and persist for a long time to strive to create new miracles in China's desertification control in the new era" and "We must make every effort to win the decisive battles against the Horqin and Hunshandake sandy lands."

　　Recently, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration held a promotion meeting for the decisive battles against the Horqin and Hunshandake sandy lands in Zhangwu County, Fuxin City, Liaoning Province, marking the official launch of these two major sandy land battles. "We will follow the inherent laws of the ecosystem, persistently and scientifically control desertification, and ensure that each treated area is successfully restored," said Yu Guoqing, director of the Sandy Land Management and Utilization Research Institute of the Liaoning Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

　　Yue Taiqing, Deputy Director of the Three-North Shelterbelt Program Bureau of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, introduced: "We are working with relevant departments to expedite the preparation of the sixth phase plan for the 'Three-North' Project, synchronously preparing implementation plans for three major campaigns: the Yellow River 'Jizi Bend' offensive, the decisive battles against the Horqin and Hunshandake sandy lands, and the defensive battle on the edge of the Hexi Corridor-Taklamakan Desert."

　　In the first year of the new term, General Secretary Xi Jinping traveled to local areas for inspections and research, presided over important meetings, and consistently attached great importance to and promoted ecological civilization construction as a "major national priority." In Zhanjiang, Guangdong, he pointed out, "Strengthening marine ecological civilization construction is an important part of ecological civilization construction"; in Yuncheng, Shanxi, he emphasized, "Anything detrimental to the ecological protection of the Yellow River Basin must be resolutely avoided"; during an inspection in Sichuan, he urged, "We must do a good job in the grand task of ecological civilization construction"...

　　Planning for the overall situation and the long term. From the Bashan and Shu waters to the Huanghuai land, from the Loess Plateau to the southeast coast, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party, wherever General Secretary Xi Jinping goes, he conveys the concept of ecological civilization construction. Repeated in-depth frontline inspections and long-term focused important meetings have made the profound connotation of the "four major transformations" in ecological civilization construction increasingly clear.

　　—Starting from solving prominent ecological and environmental problems, focusing on combining point and area, treating both symptoms and root causes, achieving a major transformation from key remediation to systematic governance.

　　In February 2014, Beijing experienced severe smog. On February 25, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Beijing and pointed the way for air pollution control: "Environmental governance is a systematic project and must be tightly grasped as a major livelihood issue" and "The primary task in responding to smog pollution and improving air quality is to control PM2.5."

　　Focusing on key issues, identifying root causes, and prescribing remedies. Since 2013, Beijing's PM2.5 concentration has dropped from 89.5 micrograms per cubic meter to 30 micrograms per cubic meter in 2022, praised by the United Nations Environment Programme as the "Beijing Miracle" in air pollution control.

　　In the past decade of the new era, China has become the world's first developing country to comprehensively control PM2.5, adjusting industries, reducing dust and vehicle emissions, and cutting coal consumption, tackling one "hard bone" after another. While the economy doubled in size, the average PM2.5 concentration in key cities dropped by 57%, and heavily polluted days decreased by 93%, making it the fastest country globally to improve air quality.

　　The battle to protect blue skies, clear waters, and clean land continues, with breakthroughs in pollution prevention and control. Meanwhile, China has deeply promoted the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, adhered to integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands, and deserts, achieving a shift from key remediation to systematic governance, strengthening ecological environment protection comprehensively, regionally, and throughout the process.

　　—Persisting in changing concepts and solidifying responsibilities, continuously enhancing the whole Party and nation's consciousness and initiative in promoting ecological civilization construction, achieving a major transformation from passive response to proactive action.

　　"The river water is no longer black or smelly; it is getting clearer and clearer." Chen Chujuan, a villager from Fenghu Village, Chaoyang District, Shantou City, Guangdong, witnessed the changes in the Lian River over the years. In June 2018, the central environmental protection inspection "follow-up" pointed out problems in the Lian River remediation work. Shantou City resolved to advance remediation with extraordinary measures, shifting from "I am required to manage" to "I want to manage," forcing development transformation and industrial upgrading. The Lian River improved from generally black and smelly to a national assessment section upgraded to Class IV, being rated as one of the "Top Ten Beautiful Rivers and Lakes in Guangdong Province."

　　"Ultra-low emissions of waste gas, zero discharge of wastewater, and no solid waste leaving the factory." From "ultra-low emissions" to "ultra-ultra-low emissions," Shanxi Taigang Group is striving to build a higher-standard green steel enterprise. "Based on achieving ultra-low emissions throughout the entire process, we are pushing ourselves harder to accelerate the implementation of ultra-ultra-low emissions upgrades. Pollutant emissions from processes such as sintering and coking have been further reduced by more than 10%." said Wang Wei, deputy supervisor of the environmental operation area at Taigang Ironmaking Plant.

　　"Over the past decade of the new era, China has resolutely abandoned the Western countries' old path of 'pollute first, then control,' insisting on protecting the environment during development and developing while protecting, forming a good situation where the whole Party and the entire country take initiative and unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development." said Zhuang Guiyang, deputy director and researcher at the Institute of Ecological Civilization, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

　　—Keeping pace with the times, looking at the world, shouldering the responsibilities of a major country, demonstrating the commitment of a major country, and achieving a major transformation from a participant to a leader in global environmental governance.

　　"China has the world's largest scale of artificial afforestation and continues to plant trees. China's contribution to global greening and improving global climate change is indispensable, as is the contribution of the Chinese people." On April 4 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out while participating in a voluntary tree-planting activity in the capital in the rain.

　　Over the past decade of the new era, the national forest coverage rate increased from 21.63% to 24.02%, and the area of artificial forests preserved reached 1.314 billion mu. Against the backdrop of a continuous global decrease in forest resources, China's forest coverage and forest stock volume have maintained "double growth" for many years. About one-quarter of the global new greening area this century comes from China.

　　Ecological civilization construction concerns the future of humanity, and building a green homeland is the common dream of people worldwide. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "As long as it benefits all humanity, China should do it without hesitation and do it well."

　　China not only vigorously strengthens its own ecological civilization construction but also actively participates in global environmental governance. It has proposed building a community of life on Earth, promoted the conclusion, signing, entry into force, and implementation of the Paris Agreement, made major strategic decisions on carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, promoted the joint construction of a green "Belt and Road," successfully hosted the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the 14th Conference of the Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands... China is committed to promoting the construction of a fair, reasonable, cooperative, and win-win global environmental governance system and building a clean and beautiful world. China's remarkable achievements in ecological and environmental protection have been widely praised by the international community, making it an important participant, contributor, and leader in global ecological civilization construction.

　　—Continuously deepening the understanding of the laws of ecological civilization construction, forming Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, and achieving a major transformation from practical exploration to scientific theoretical guidance.

　　Profoundly clarifying the relationship between humans and nature, proposing the basic strategy of adhering to harmonious coexistence between humans and nature; profoundly clarifying the relationship between development and protection, proposing the important concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets; profoundly clarifying the relationship between environment and people's livelihood, proposing the major assertion that a good ecological environment is the most inclusive welfare for people's livelihood...

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has stood at the height of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, vigorously promoting innovation in ecological civilization theory, practice, and system, creatively proposing a series of new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies, forming Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, which has become the fundamental guideline and action guide for China's ecological civilization construction in the new era.

　　"Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought inherits and innovates Marxist views on nature and ecology, carries forward and develops China's excellent traditional ecological culture, and is a landmark, innovative, and strategic major theoretical achievement of the Party leading the people in advancing ecological civilization construction. It scientifically guides the historic, turning-point, and overall changes in China's ecological civilization construction." said Zhu Xiao, deputy dean of the School of Environment at Renmin University of China.

　　The new era breeds new thoughts, and new thoughts guide new practices. With unremitting efforts and perseverance, our skies are bluer, our land greener, and our waters clearer, making the vast rivers and mountains more colorful. The achievements of ecological civilization construction in the new era are remarkable worldwide, becoming a significant symbol of the historic achievements and historic changes in the cause of the Party and the country in the new era.

　　Guided by Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, correctly handle five major relationships.

　　Northern Zhejiang mountainous area, Anji, Huzhou.

　　At Deep Blue No. 1 Café in Hongmiao Village, Meixi Town, tourists come in an endless stream. Visitors come not only for a cup of coffee but also value the scenery. The abandoned mine pit has been transformed, with clear blue lake water and green tea mountains. During this year's "May Day" holiday, the daily reception volume exceeded 10,000. Anji County, with a permanent population of less than 600,000, now has more than 300 rural cafes "selling scenery."

　　For 18 years, Anji has firmly practiced the concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets," adhered to "ecological county building," and strictly controlled pollution, becoming China's first county-level city to receive the United Nations Habitat Award, forging a sustainable development path of ecological beauty, industrial prosperity, and people's wealth.

　　People do not fail the green mountains, and the green mountains will not fail the people. From 2012 to 2022, Anji's regional GDP increased from 25.3 billion yuan to 58.2 billion yuan, and farmers' per capita disposable income rose from more than 15,800 yuan to more than 42,000 yuan. "We actively broaden the path of transforming lucid waters and lush mountains into invaluable assets, work well on 'ecology + industry' and 'ecology + technology,' accelerate the layout of new economy industries such as new energy and new materials among the green waters and mountains, and strive to continuously transform Anji's 'green appearance' into 'golden value.'" said Yang Weidong, member of the Standing Committee of Huzhou Municipal Committee and Secretary of Anji County Committee.

　　A small mountainous county town, a good scenery of the times.

　　On March 30, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yucun for inspection and research. The General Secretary emphasized: "Practice has proven that economic development cannot come at the cost of ecological destruction; ecology itself is the economy, and protecting ecology is developing productivity."

　　Handling the relationship between development and protection well is a global challenge and an eternal topic facing human social development. The world's largest developing country is writing a substantial "green answer sheet."

　　The light of thought illuminates the way forward. At the National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection, General Secretary Xi Jinping summarized the practical experience of the past decade in the new era, analyzed new situations and problems currently faced, and profoundly elaborated on the five major relationships that need to be properly handled in advancing ecological civilization construction on the new journey.

　　—Properly handle the relationship between high-quality development and high-level protection.

　　On January 5, 2016, a symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt was held in Chongqing, and the provinces and cities along the river were eager to work hard. However, General Secretary Xi Jinping started by talking about the "sickness" of the Yangtze River. This meeting was like "a bucket of cold water" for the regions along the river, clearly requiring "jointly focusing on major protection, not major development."

　　In recent years, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited the Yangtze River basin many times, presided over three symposiums, steering and guiding the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

　　"Ecological environmental protection and economic development are not contradictory but dialectically unified. Only by laying a good foundation of green development can future development advance vigorously." Great rivers and great protection bring vitality to rivers. The ten-year fishing ban has allowed the mother river of the Chinese nation to rest and recuperate. In 2022, the GDP of the Yangtze River Economic Belt reached 55.98 trillion yuan, increasing its share of the national total to 46.5%.

　　Huang Chengliang, Secretary-General of the Xi Jinping Ecological Civilization Thought Research Center at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes: "Properly handling the relationship between high-quality development and high-level protection holds a leading and overarching position among the five major relationships. It is global and fundamental, emphasizing planning development from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, continuously creating new momentum and advantages for development through high-level environmental protection."

　　Huang Runqiu, Minister of Ecology and Environment, stated that high-level protection is an important support for high-quality development and a necessary requirement. High-level protection ensures the quality and bottom line of high-quality development, promotes the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, energy structure, and transportation structure, thereby driving high-quality development. On the other hand, the achievements of high-quality development promote the construction of ecological and environmental protection projects and the development of the environmental protection industry, thus supporting high-level protection.

　　In the past decade of the new era, it is precisely because the entire Party and nation have firmly established and practiced the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, focusing on properly handling the relationship between high-quality development and high-level protection, that remarkable ecological and green development miracles have been created.

　　— Properly handle the relationship between key breakthroughs and coordinated governance.

　　"We must seek new governance approaches from the perspective of systems engineering and the overall situation." Ecological and environmental governance is a systems project. It involves grasping the main contradictions and their primary aspects, taking strong measures to address prominent ecological and environmental issues, while strengthening goal coordination, multi-pollutant control coordination, departmental coordination, regional coordination, and policy coordination, jointly advancing carbon reduction, pollution reduction, greening, and growth. This is a deepened application of systems thinking in the practice of ecological civilization construction and a concrete embodiment of the work approach of key breakthroughs and comprehensive advancement.

　　— Properly handle the relationship between natural restoration and artificial repair.

　　"Build a grand pattern of protection and governance from mountain tops to the ocean." Adhere to integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, waters, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands, and deserts, comprehensively applying both natural restoration and artificial repair methods, adapting measures to local conditions and times, and implementing differentiated policies by region and category. Prioritize natural restoration combined with artificial repair. This follows natural laws and is a practical requirement for actively and effectively carrying out ecological protection and restoration.

　　— Properly handle the relationship between external constraints and internal driving forces.

　　"To promote ecological civilization construction, we must establish a sound institutional framework, ensure strict enforcement, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the broad masses of the people, consolidating and developing the achievements of ecological civilization construction in the new era." Always insist on protecting the ecological environment with the strictest systems and most rigorous rule of law, making the system a rigid constraint and an untouchable red line, while stimulating the endogenous motivation of the whole society to jointly care for the ecological environment, transforming the construction of a beautiful China into a conscious action of all people. This reflects a scientific understanding of the dialectical unity, interconnection, and mutual transformation between external and internal factors.

　　— Properly handle the relationship between the "dual carbon" commitments and independent actions.

　　"Achieving the 'dual carbon' goals is not because others require us to do so, but because we must do it ourselves." Promoting carbon peaking and carbon neutrality is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core after careful consideration. China will achieve the largest reduction in carbon emission intensity globally in the shortest historical time. Our committed "dual carbon" goals are unwavering, but the path, methods, pace, and intensity to achieve these goals should and must be decided by ourselves. This reflects the dialectical unity of stability and progress.

　　"General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly elaborated on the five major relationships that need to be properly handled to continue advancing ecological civilization construction, fully embodying the Marxist materialist dialectical method, further deepening and expanding our Party's understanding of the laws of ecological civilization construction, and enriching and developing Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought based on practice," said Huang Chengliang.

　　With a higher stance, broader vision, and greater effort, compose a new chapter in ecological civilization construction in the new era.

　　Guangyuan, Sichuan, is vibrant with green mountains and clear waters.

　　"Sichuan is an important water source conservation area in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, a key water supply area in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and a global biodiversity conservation priority area. We must do a good job in the grand task of ecological civilization construction." Shortly after the National Ecological and Environmental Protection Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Sichuan and on his return trip inspected Hanzhong, Shaanxi, once again calling for strengthening ecological civilization construction.

　　After the rain, Wang Shiyin, an ecological forest ranger from Wulipo to Cuiyun Corridor section in Jianmen Pass Town, Jiange County, Guangyuan City, patrols with companions, promptly checking for broken or fallen branches. Persistently and deeply fighting the battles to protect blue skies, clear waters, and clean soil, accelerating the transformation of ecological advantages into economic advantages, piloting mechanisms to realize the value of ecological products, and building a solid ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Jialing River... "We must remember the instructions, consolidate and develop the achievements of ecological civilization construction in the new era, making good mountains, good waters, and good ecology a beautiful business card of Guangyuan, supporting high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment," said Dong Li, Deputy Secretary of the Guangyuan Municipal Party Committee and Mayor.

　　To forge ahead on the new journey of the new era, we must have new outlooks and new actions.

　　China's economic and social development has entered a stage of accelerated green and low-carbon high-quality development, while ecological civilization construction remains at a critical period of overlapping pressures and heavy burdens.

　　"Building a beautiful China is an important goal of comprehensively building a socialist modern country" and "we must plan and promote ecological and environmental protection work on the new journey with a higher stance, broader vision, and greater effort, composing a new chapter in ecological civilization construction in the new era."

　　At the National Ecological and Environmental Protection Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping, from the overall perspective of the Party and country's development, systematically deployed the strategic tasks and major measures to comprehensively advance the construction of a beautiful China.

　　Anchor the goals, work earnestly, and overcome difficulties.

　　— Persistently and deeply fight the tough battle against pollution.

　　Fighting the tough battle against pollution relates to the vital interests of the people and is a key measure in building a beautiful China.

　　In Fujian, a special campaign to control urban dust pollution was recently launched, focusing on urban housing construction and municipal infrastructure projects to address air pollution caused by dust particles. In Kunming, Yunnan, integrated management of mountains, waters, and cities is promoted, accelerating the construction of an ecological barrier greenway around Dianchi Lake, with the first phase of the greenway project (Waihai section) planned to be completed within the year. In Qingshen County, Sichuan, continuous exploration and implementation of "deposit system, paid system, and points system" have resulted in a harmless recycling and disposal rate of pesticide packaging waste exceeding 85% across the county...

　　Maintain strength, extend depth, and expand breadth; the three major battles to protect blue skies, clear waters, and clean soil are advancing deeply, continuously improving ecological environment quality.

　　— Accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of development methods.

　　Green and low-carbon development is the fundamental solution to ecological and environmental problems.

　　On the banks of the Grand Canal in Beijing's sub-center, the "Cultural Granary" Grand Theater, "Forest Book Garden" Library, and "Canal Boat" Museum are entering the final sprint phase of construction. As a national green development demonstration zone, Beijing's sub-center is the first region in China where all large public buildings fully implement the three-star green building standard, with the three buildings expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 10,000 tons annually.

　　In Dabancheng District, Urumqi City, Xinjiang, the 110kV Luyuan Dabancheng distributed wind power plant has recently been commissioned, turning the desert and Gobi winds into a continuous stream of electricity, achieving full "green power" supply in Dabancheng District.

　　Green production and lifestyle are accelerating in formation, continuously strengthening the green foundation for high-quality development.

　　— Focusing on enhancing the diversity, stability, and sustainability of ecosystems.

　　The world's largest national park system is being accelerated. The National Park Law has been included in the State Council's 2023 legislative work plan and is expected to be submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for review within the year. Relevant departments are steadily advancing the establishment of new national parks. The "National Park Spatial Layout Plan" has selected 49 candidate areas, with the national park spatial layout construction task expected to be basically completed by 2035.

　　The nationwide ecological protection red line has been implemented effectively. The national ecological protection red line has been delineated and published, covering no less than 3 million square kilometers of terrestrial land and no less than 150,000 square kilometers of marine ecological protection areas, helping to consolidate the foundation of national ecological security.

　　A series of policy measures are being vigorously implemented to strengthen ecosystem protection, broaden the path of transforming green mountains and clear waters into gold and silver mountains, leaving a beautiful ecological space for future generations.

　　— Actively and steadily advancing carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

　　Renewable energy installed capacity has surpassed coal power! Data released by the National Energy Administration on July 31 shows that by the end of June, China's renewable energy installed capacity reached 1.322 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 18.2%, historically surpassing coal power, accounting for about 48.8% of the country's total installed capacity. Construction of large wind and photovoltaic bases, major hydropower projects, and pumped storage projects continues to advance, with renewable energy development achieving new breakthroughs and playing an important role in achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

　　Achieving the "dual carbon" goals is a broad and profound transformation that cannot be easily accomplished. Adhering to the principles of nationwide coordination, prioritizing conservation, dual-wheel drive, smooth internal and external connections, and risk prevention, and implementing the "1+N" policy system for carbon peak and carbon neutrality, China vigorously promotes harmonious coexistence between humans and nature and advances the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　Building a beautiful China is a long and arduous task that requires strong measures to safeguard it. Strengthening legal guarantees, improving green and low-carbon economic policies, enhancing technological support... all regions and departments are focusing on a "combination punch" of law, market, technology, and policy to open a new chapter in comprehensively advancing the construction of a beautiful China.

　　The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has outlined a grand blueprint: by 2035, "a widespread formation of green production and lifestyles, carbon emissions will peak and then steadily decline, the ecological environment will fundamentally improve, and the goal of a beautiful China will be basically achieved." The next five years are an important period for building a beautiful China.

　　On the new journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, adhering to Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization as the fundamental guideline and action guide, strengthening the Party's overall leadership on ecological civilization construction, forging ahead with determination and courage, we will continuously deliver new outstanding answers to history and the people, painting a new picture of a beautiful China.
