Qingyang City's "Eight Actions" help the construction of ecological civilization achieve results
In order to implement the "Decision of the Gansu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Strengthening the Construction of Ecological Civilization," Qingyang City, Gansu Province, proposed to implement "eight major actions", including overall actions for green transformation, pollution prevention and control, soil erosion control, ecosystem restoration, sustainable land greening, water control and water upgrading actions, desertification prevention and control actions, and environmental security actions. Eight task forces were established accordingly (Green transformation, pollution prevention and control, water and soil erosion control, ecological restoration, land greening, desertification prevention and control, water control and water development, and environmental security), implement the "eight major actions", promote the in-depth development of the city's ecological civilization construction and achieve remarkable results.
Green transformation continues to advance. The city has firmly established the idea of "double carbon" and one game of chess, unified actions and coordinated planning to drive the green and low-carbon transformation of the city's energy structure and industrial structure. By the end of 2023, the energy consumption per unit of GDP will drop by 6.79% compared with 2020, the total installed capacity of new energy will reach 2.376 million kilowatts, and the forest stock will reach 22.625 million cubic meters. The proportion of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP and non-fossil energy consumption will be completed across the province. To achieve the target tasks, a green and low-carbon economic system has been initially formed, laying a solid foundation for achieving the "double carbon" goal.
Pollution prevention and control continue to deepen. Continue to promote the implementation of key tasks such as volatile organic compound control, refined dust pollution control, comprehensive improvement of coal-fired boilers, motor vehicle pollution prevention and control, and non-point source pollution control.
Soil erosion control has achieved remarkable results. In accordance with the four defense line management and protection models of "tableland surface runoff control, ditch head reinforcement and protection, comprehensive slope management, and ditch water and sediment collection and storage", we will continue to implement water and soil conservation projects such as tableland surface protection, slope transformation, and check dam.
Ecosystem restoration continues to be effective. Focusing on the tough battle against the "few bends" of the Yellow River, six key projects planned, including wind and sand fixation barrier in the Mu Us Sandy Land in northern Huan County and comprehensive management of desertified land in northern Huan County, have all been included in the national "Three Norths" overall plan for the sixth phase. The ecological protection and restoration project in Longdong region was implemented, with 495,300 acres of afforestation and 1.087 million acres of grassland ecological restoration and management.
Sustained greening of the land will be carried out in an orderly manner. 6097 forest chiefs at the fourth level in cities, counties and villages have been established to give full play to the role of "sentries" on the front line of forest and grass resources protection. City and county forest chiefs have patrolled forests a total of 398 times, and rural forest chiefs have patrolled forests a total of 41,200 times.
The implementation of water control and water revitalization projects has been accelerated. Strictly implement the "three red lines" for water resources management and the "double control" system for total water use and water use intensity, and implement planned water use and quota management. We made every effort to promote the management of groundwater overexploitation areas, closed and shut down a total of 291 water source wells in overexploitation areas, and reduced groundwater by 3.9827 million m3.
The effectiveness of desertification prevention and control has been consolidated and improved. Signed joint prevention and control cooperation agreements with Ordos City, Yulin City, Shizuishan City, and Wuzhong City, established a cross-administrative regional joint prevention and control mechanism for desertification, and jointly built a "wind and sand blocking belt" in the Gansu and Ningxia boundary of the Mu Us Sandy Land. Relying on projects such as vegetation restoration,"dual" and land leveling, 383,300 acres of desertified land have been managed.
Ecological and environmental security has become more stable. Continue to increase the investigation of potential environmental hazards, carry out environmental safety inspections on 5 types of environmental protection facilities for 104 enterprises, urge key enterprises to strictly implement the environmental safety responsibility system, and improve risk prevention and control and emergency response capabilities. Measures such as cross-law enforcement and clue supervision have been taken to increase daily law enforcement and severely crack down on illegal activities such as excessive pollution discharge, illegal dumping, and fraud."Double random and one public" inspections have been carried out on 204 companies, urging 122 oil fields. The produced water treatment station has installed automatic monitoring facilities, investigated and rectified 47 environmental hazards, filed and investigated 35 environmental violations, and fined 4.4776 million yuan.
