1. Deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system is an important part of further comprehensively deepening reforms
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has made major strategic decisions to comprehensively deepen reforms. With unprecedented determination and intensity, it has resolutely eliminated the shortcomings of various systems and mechanisms, and realized the transformation of reform from partial exploration and ice-breaking to system integration., comprehensive deepening, many areas have achieved historic changes, systematic reshaping, and overall reconstruction, and solved many problems that have long been wanted to be solved but have not been solved. It has accomplished many major things that we wanted to do but failed to do in the past, created a new situation in our country's reform and opening up, and pushed our country on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.Comprehensively deepening reform is the fundamental driving force for promoting China's modernization and an important magic weapon for promoting the construction of ecological civilization. Our party regards the construction of ecological civilization as a fundamental plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. It vigorously promotes theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and institutional innovation of ecological civilization, coordinates and strengthens the top-level design and institutional system construction of ecological civilization, and China's socialist ecological environment The legal system and the institutional system of "four beams and eight pillars" nature of ecological civilization have basically taken shape, and major breakthroughs have been made in the reform of the ecological environment management system. Major institutional innovations and reform measures such as the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspectorate have truly made ecological and environmental protection a hard constraint. The modernization level of the ecological and environmental governance system and governance capabilities has been significantly improved, effectively promoting my country's ecological civilization construction to achieve great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. Ecological and environmental protection has undergone historic, turning and overall changes. The construction of Beautiful China has taken major steps and has become a historic, revolutionary, and comprehensive deepening reform in the new era. An important part of groundbreaking achievements.
To promote green development and build ecological civilization, the focus is on establishing rules and regulations. In recent years, Fangchenggang, Guangxi, where the Beilun Estuary National Nature Reserve in Guangxi is located, has established an integrated working mechanism for fine "management, protection and research" of mangrove forests, and comprehensively carried out various tasks such as patrol management, scientific research and monitoring, publicity and education, community co-management, and ecological restoration, effectively promoting the overall improvement of the quality of the mangrove ecosystem. The picture shows the mangrove forests in the Beilun Estuary National Nature Reserve in Guangxi taken on August 24, 2024. Xinhua Agency reporter Lu Boan/photoGeneral Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "In the new era and new journey, to create a new situation in China-style modernization, we still rely on reform and opening up." Building a beautiful China is an important goal of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and an important part of realizing the China Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. At present, my country's ecological civilization construction is still in a critical period of superimposed pressures and heavy burdens. The structural, root and trend pressures on ecological and environmental protection have not been fundamentally alleviated. The endogenous driving force for the green transformation of economic and social development is insufficient. The task of building a beautiful China is still arduous, and we must deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system and continue to push the reform forward. This is an inevitable requirement for further improving the ecological civilization institutional system and promoting the modernization of the ecological and environmental governance system and governance capabilities. It is an inevitable requirement for practicing the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets and supporting high-quality development with high-level protection. It is an inevitable requirement for promoting the ecological environment. The fundamental improvement and allowing the achievements of building a Beautiful China to benefit all people more and more equitably are an inevitable requirement for deeply participating in global environmental governance and promoting the joint construction of a clean and beautiful world.We must deeply grasp the successful practice and great achievements of the reform of the ecological civilization system in the new era, fully understand the importance and necessity of focusing on building a beautiful China and deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system, effectively enhance the historical initiative and mission responsibility, and consciously place the reform in a more prominent position, accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, improve the ecological and environmental governance system, promote ecological priority, conservation and intensive, green and low-carbon development, and promote the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. Build a solid ecological foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
2. Firmly grasp the major principles that must be followed in deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system
The "Decision" profoundly summarizes the valuable experience in comprehensively deepening reforms since the reform and opening up, especially in the new era, and puts forward the major principles of "six persistences" that must be implemented to further comprehensively deepen reforms. The major principles of "Six Persistences" are a major achievement of our party's continuous deepening of its understanding of the laws of reform, and are also an important guideline for deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system. We must thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new judgments on comprehensively deepening reforms, consciously use the major principles of "Six Persistences" to guide the deepening of the reform of the ecological civilization system, and promote the construction of a new pattern for building a beautiful China.Adhere to the party's overall leadership and continuously consolidate the political responsibility for ecological civilization construction.The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with China characteristics, the greatest advantage of the socialist system with China characteristics, and the fundamental guarantee for further comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting China-style modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the construction of ecological civilization is a major political issue related to the party's mission and purpose and a major social issue related to people's livelihood and well-being. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has made great achievements in the construction of ecological civilization. The fundamental reason lies in the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with China Characteristics for a New Era, especially Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization. In the new era and new journey, we must deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments", strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", achieve "two safeguards", and resolutely shoulder the political responsibility of building a beautiful China. We must grasp the reform of the ecological civilization system with a high degree of political consciousness, adhere to the principle of "the party and government with the same responsibility" and "one post with two responsibilities" for ecological and environmental protection, and effectively implement the party's leadership in all aspects of the reform process.Adhere to the people-centered approach and continuously improve the ecological and environmental well-being of the people.Adhering to the people-centered approach is the fundamental position and value orientation for comprehensively deepening reform. Reform is meaningful only if it is reformed for the people; reform is motivated only if it is reformed by relying on the people. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "A good ecological environment is the fairest public good and the most universally beneficial people's livelihood and well-being." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have persisted in promoting the reform of the ecological civilization system guided by solving outstanding ecological and environmental problems around the people, continued to fight in depth the battle against pollution, focused on solving people's livelihood and people's pain, and promoted significant improvement in the quality of the ecological environment. The people's sense of ecological environment gain, happiness, and security has been significantly enhanced. In the new era and new journey, deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system must adhere to the principle of ecology for the people, ecology benefiting the people, and ecology benefiting the people, actively comply with the people's new expectations for a high-quality ecological environment, and strive to promote continuous improvement, comprehensive improvement and fundamental improvement of the ecological environment., forming a good situation in which everyone participates and shares the construction of Beautiful China.Adhere to integrity and innovation, and continuously promote the steady and long-term development of ecological and environmental protection.Keeping integrity and innovating is an important ideological method for our party to govern the country in the new era. Only by being upright can we not lose our way or make subversive mistakes, and only by innovating can we grasp and lead the times. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that we must maintain our determination to strengthen ecological and environmental protection and construction without wavering, slackening, or opening up; we must implement new development concepts and explore new ways of high-quality development oriented by ecological priority and green development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has always guided the reform of the ecological civilization system with scientific theories to ensure that the reform always moves in the right direction. At the same time, it has focused on key areas and outstanding issues to implement practical reforms, and established and effectively operated the central ecological and environmental protection inspection system., implement the reform of the vertical management system for monitoring, supervision and law enforcement of ecological and environmental institutions below the provincial level, and continue to stimulate reform momentum and innovation vitality. In the new era and new journey, no matter how the reform of the ecological civilization system is reformed and no matter which step we advance, we must unswervingly implement Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization, unswervingly implement the policies of precise pollution control, scientific pollution control, and legal pollution control, and further strengthen Goal orientation and problem orientation, keep up with the pace of the times, comply with the development of practice, improve and change what should be changed and can be changed, and plan and promote ecological and environmental protection work with a higher position, a broader vision, and greater intensity.Adhere to institutional construction as the main line and continuously improve the ecological civilization institutional system.The system is a fundamental, overall, stable and long-term issue related to the development of the cause of the party and the country. Reform and opening up in the new era has many new connotations and characteristics, one of which is that system construction is more important. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "promoting green development and building ecological civilization is the key to establishing rules and systems." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has adhered to all-round layout, systematic construction, and multi-level advancement, and has gradually established a natural resource asset property rights system, a land and space development and protection system, an environmental governance system, an environmental governance and ecological protection market system, and an ecology. Basic systems such as civilization performance evaluation and assessment and accountability systems have been systematically reshaped. In the new era and new journey, deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system must take institutional construction as the top priority, consolidate the foundation, promote advantages, make up for shortcomings, and strengthen strengths and weaknesses, pay more attention to system integration and synergy and efficiency, strengthen system implementation and rigid constraints, and continue to develop and improve with the continuous advancement of the construction of Beautiful China.
Deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system is an inevitable requirement for supporting high-quality development with high-level protection. Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, takes system construction as the starting point and actively promotes the management model of "planting trees on slopes, planting grass on flat flats, completing mountains and ditches, and reclamation of mines, and industrial integration" to effectively promote the ecological restoration of local Kuangqu mining areas. The picture shows that on September 19, 2024, the coal mine reclamation area of the National Energy Group Zhuneng Group located in Zhungeer Banner is lush and full of vitality.

We must persist in promoting reform under the rule of law and improve the rule of law in reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must improve the legal system and promote the construction of ecological civilization with the concept of the rule of law and the method of the rule of law." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of the rule of law in ecological civilization in my country has entered a period with the greatest legislative intensity, the strictest regulatory and enforcement scales, and the most significant implementation effect of the legal system. Ecological civilization has been included in the Party Constitution and Constitution, and the Environmental Protection Law and more than 30 ecological laws and regulations have been formulated and revised. Environmental laws and regulations have effectively guaranteed the in-depth advancement of the reform of the ecological civilization system and supported the effective development of key tasks such as the battle against pollution. In the new era and new journey, we must persist in deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system on the track of the rule of law, be good at using the rule of law thinking and methods to consolidate and expand the reform results, solve the practical problems of ecological and environmental protection, promptly upgrade the reform results into the legal system, and use the strictest system. The strictest rule of law protects the ecological environment and uses legal weapons and legal power to ensure the construction of a beautiful China.Adhere to the system concept and continuously improve the modernization level of ecological and environmental governance.Adhering to the concept of system is an inherent requirement for comprehensively deepening reform, and it is also an important ideological method and working method for promoting reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "we must make overall plans, implement overall policies, and take multiple measures simultaneously to carry out ecological civilization construction in all directions, regions and processes." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has insisted on making comprehensive efforts in terms of ideology, law, system, organization, and style of work, integrating ecological civilization construction into all aspects and the entire process of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, and social construction, and coordinating the promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, growth, coordinate the promotion of the battle to defend blue skies, clear waters, and pure land, and continuously enhance the systematicness, integrity, and synergy of all work. In the new era and new journey, we must continuously strengthen the concept of systems, deeply understand that the construction of ecological civilization is a profound change involving production methods, lifestyles, ways of thinking and values, and promote the deepening of the reform of the ecological civilization system in the same direction as reforms in various other fields and aspects. We will work hard, collaborate and efficiently, strengthen the governance of the ecological environment system, comprehensive management, and source management, and promote the coordination of local and overall situations, the unity of symptoms and root causes, and the combination of current and long-term. Continue to improve the effectiveness of ecological and environmental governance.
