Environmental evaluation ｜ Give full play to the role of the overall situation of environmental and social development of environmental assessment (China Environment Daily)

In the first half of this year, my country's economy hosted the impact of super expected factors and continued to grow. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on July 15, my country's GDP increased by 2.5%year -on -year. Among them, the construction of engineering project construction was abundant, with infrastructure investment increased by 7.1%. It is not easy to achieve such results in complex difficulties. This is the result of the decision -making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and efficiently coordinate the prevention and control of the party and the development of economic and social development.

In the overall situation of stabilizing the economic market, the ecological environment departments have given full play to the important role of EIA in cooperating with the promotion of high -quality economic development and high -level protection of the ecological environment. At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held on July 21, the relevant person in charge introduced that in the first half of this year, a total of 47,800 project environmental assessment was approved nationwide, involving total investment of more than 8.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 28.9%year -on -year. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has approved 91 environmental assessment documents, including 45 projects such as railway, water conservancy, transportation, and coal confession, involving a total investment of about 700 billion yuan.

The ecological environment departments have given full play to the role of EIA in serving the overall social and economic situation. In order to optimize the business environment, stimulate the vitality of the market, and promote the high -quality development of the economy, a series of service measures and innovation measures have been adopted. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Investment Project EIA Work", which requires ecological environment departments at all levels to further adopt practical measures from the aspects of establishing a major project environmental assessment service account and exerting the advantages of experts. In addition, relying on the "three accounts" of the EIA approval, we will fully serve the environmental assessment of major projects, and coordinate the establishment of a planning environmental assessment service guarantee mechanism in key areas to open up green channels for projects that meet the requirements of ecological environmental protection. Top approval on the basis of the bottom line. The introduction of relevant policies and measures has created conditions for the construction of engineering projects.

Under the guidance of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the local ecological environment department also actively strengthened communication and cooperation with relevant departments to do a good job in the protection of the environmental assessment and approval of major investment projects. The Shandong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment establishes an environmental assessment account covering 2024 major projects in the province to speed up the approval of EIA. Taizhou City and other places in Zhejiang Province have carried out binding approval for small and micro enterprise projects engaged in automotive accessories processing and mechanical processing in industrial parks. Only one report was compiled in multiple projects to conduct approval to save time and cost for enterprises. The Jiangxi Provincial Department of Ecological and Environment promoted the sharing of environmental monitoring data, provided free of charge to the enrollment (district) project environmental assessment and use, which shortened the time for the establishment of environmental assessment and reduced the burden on the enterprise.

In the second half of 2022, with the central government's policies and measures to stabilize the economy, a large number of projects are expected to be launched. For engineering projects, time is money. The approval one day is completed, and the benefits can be put into production one day early. Therefore, in the process of serving major projects, the ecological and environmental departments must intervene in guidance in advance, innovate approval methods, optimize approval services, and strengthen assistance guidance. For example, continue to run the national environmental assessment technology evaluation service consulting platform, carry out remote consultations, continue to do a good job of approval and assistance of environmental assessment of small and micro enterprises, and accelerate the implementation of investment projects.

The EIA is the first line of defense in the development of green mountains and green mountains. While the EIA work, while ensuring the smooth development of major projects, must keep the "bottom line". Adhere to the concept of ecological priority and green development, promote the optimization of site selection and selection of ecological environment sensitive areas, strengthen the control of noise pollution along the line, replacement of regional pollutants and ecological restoration, and put forward stricter ecological environmental protection requirements to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the masses. At the same time, strengthen supervision in the event, ensure the implementation of various ecological environmental protection facilities and measures approval by the EIA, and investigate and deal with illegal acts that violate the "three simultaneous" and independent acceptance requirements in accordance with the law, and keep the bottom line of the ecological environment.

my country's economy has achieved a stable recovery in a short period of time, showing strong toughness and huge potential. However, the pressure of demand shrinkage, supply impact, and expected weakness has not changed, and many market entities still face greater difficulties. The ecological and environmental departments should continue to strengthen the reform of the EIA "decentralization of service", actively serve "six stability" and "six guarantees", help major projects to land, and effectively contribute to the stability of the economy to promote development.
