Liao Hongjun, Deputy Secretary and District Mayor of Yubei District Committee of the Communist Party of China of Chongqing City: Strengthen upstream awareness and shoulder upstream responsibilities

In April 2024,XiJinpingDuring his inspection in Chongqing, the General Secretary emphasized: "Vigorously promote green development, build a beautiful Chongqing, and build an important ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River." In recent years, Yubei District of Chongqing City has deeply practicedXiJinpingThe idea of ecological civilization plays a good ecological card, takes a good ecological path, calculates ecological accounts, highlights ecological priority as a demonstration and green development as a benchmark, and successfully creates a national ecological civilization construction demonstration zone, a national greening model city and a national "two mountains" practice Innovation base, the people's sense of green gain and ecological happiness continue to improve.

Build a solid green background and paint an ecological picture of green mountains and green waters. Adhere to the principle of "jointly focusing on large-scale protection and not engaging in large-scale development", continue to strengthen the protection and improvement of key ecological functional areas such as the Jialing River, Yulin River, Tongluo Mountain, and Mingyue Mountain, so that the beautiful scenery of "clear water on one river and green mountains on both sides of the river" will last forever. Resolutely shoulder upstream responsibilities, implement the "ten-year fishing ban" in key waters in the Yangtze River Basin, and take the lead in completing the pilot investigation and rectification of sewage outlets into the Yangtze River. Coordinate the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, implement about 5600 acres of forest every year, comprehensively control 50 square kilometers of soil and water erosion, reach 42% of the entire area, and the per capita park green area reaches 18 square meters. Adhere to typical guidance, demonstrate and explore effective paths for the management of abandoned Kuangqu areas, and implement 464 hectares of Kuangqu restoration and management. Tongluo Mountain Mine Park was selected as a typical case of the United Nations Biodiversity Conference and an excellent case of the United Nations "Decade of Ecological Restoration".

Comprehensively and comprehensively manage and fight the tough battle against pollution. Closely integrate the situation and keep a close eye on the shortcomings of problems, we will continue to advance the "three major defense wars", shifting from focusing on solving outstanding environmental problems to full-form governance and full-region protection, from end-of-end governance to source prevention and control, and from anti-pollution rebound to promoting Quality improvement transformation. In this process, we have innovated to create recognizable action carriers such as fresh air demonstration areas and "waste-free cities" in the whole region, and launched a series of combination punches such as "Five Waters Joint Treatment" and "Three Cleanings and Three Protections". The proportion of excellent water quality in city-controlled sections has remained at 100% for five consecutive years, and Urban area PM_2.5The annual average concentration has dropped from 51 micrograms/cubic meter to 34 micrograms/cubic meter, the safe utilization rate of key construction land has remained at 100%, and public satisfaction with the regional ecological environment has steadily increased for many years. The sky in Yubei is bluer, the mountains are greener, and the water is clearer and the ecology is more beautiful.

Develop green industries and turn green into gold and accumulate ecological wealth. Deeply implement the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, deeply embed ecological and environmental protection into the overall economic and social development, and simultaneously improve the "green content" of development and the "gold content" of ecology. Give full play to the leading and pressing role of the ecological environment, strictly implement regulations such as the Comprehensive List of Environmental Protection and the Negative List for the Development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, strengthen the linkage of planning environmental assessment, regional environmental assessment and project environmental assessment, resolutely curb the blind launch of "two high and one low" projects, and promote Resource elements are concentrated in high-quality areas and high-quality projects. A modern manufacturing cluster system supported by green high-end industries such as new energy vehicles has been initially established. The proportion of strategic emerging industries has reached 52.2%, and the regional economy has ranked first in Chongqing City for 16 consecutive years. Adhere to taking pollution reduction and carbon reduction and synergy as the overall starting point of green transformation, promote low-carbon pilot construction at multiple levels and in multiple fields, combine governance and adjustment to play a good combination of transformation and upgrading, and build 6 smart factories, 57 digital workshops, and green factories. With 23 factories, energy consumption per unit of industry has dropped by 5.5% annually, and carbon emission intensity per unit of industrial added value has dropped by 14.5% in the past three years. Traditional industries have achieved high-end, intelligent and green transformation.

Deepen overall intelligent governance and systematically reshape the ecological governance system. Strengthen systematic thinking and overall concepts, give full play to the important role of digital Chongqing construction in driving changes in the field of ecological governance, and carry out digital empowerment, business reengineering, process reconstruction, and institutional reshaping for ecological and environmental protection work. Establish and improve the digital ecological environmental protection system framework, use the ecological environment big data platform as the base, and build a comprehensive application system and multiple special business management systems covering five major environmental elements including atmosphere, water, sound, soil and solid waste, and natural ecology. Create a digital ecological environmental protection brain with full coverage of key enterprises and full monitoring of important points. Promote the construction of IoT sensing and intelligent platforms in an integrated manner, build typical application scenarios such as "Smart River Chief" and "Digital Water Conservancy Map", and basically form a beautiful digital governance system in Yubei with multi-cross collaboration, quantitative closed-loop, and system integration, and promote the ecological environment. The efficiency of environmental governance has changed rapidly.

Facing the new journey, Yubei will keep in mind the instructions and forge ahead with gratitude, strengthen upstream awareness, shoulder upstream responsibilities, comprehensively build an important ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, build a high-level pilot demonstration area with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and strive to prioritize ecological green development. Take a new path, open a new situation, and write a new chapter.
