Promote green development and construction of beautiful China- "China Ten Years" series theme press conference Focus on the achievements of the construction of ecological civilization in the new era (Xinhua News Agency)

The construction of ecological civilization is the fundamental plan to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has grasped the construction of ecological civilization with unprecedented efforts. The consciousness and initiative of the whole party to promote green development have been significantly enhanced, and the construction of beautiful China has taken a major step. In the past ten years, it is the deepest awareness of ecological civilization construction and ecological environmental protection.

The Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a series of theme press conferences of the "Ten Years of China" on the 15th, focusing on the achievements of the construction of ecological civilization in the new era.

Various stages of target tasks of pollution prevention and control are fully completed

"This is a night map of the sky with the background of the Palace Museum." Huang Runqiu, the Minister of Ecology and Environment, "exposed" a Beijing night view map at the press conference. "This picture is a true of Beijing air quality improvement Personation. "

In 2013, the PM2.5 concentration of Beijing was 89.5 micrograms/cubic meter, and in 2021, it was reduced to 33 micrograms/cubic meters, a decrease of nearly two -thirds.

Huang Runqiu said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country's pollution prevention and control battles have been fully completed, and the ecological environment has been significantly improved.

Historical changes in air quality. Compared with 2015, the average PM2.5 concentration of PM2.5 nationwide and above in 2021 decreased by 34.8%, and the proportion of excellent days reached 87.5%, an increase of 6.3 percentage points. my country has become the country with the fastest improvement of air quality.

The quality of the water environment has changed. In the past ten years, the proportion of surface water Ⅰ to Ⅲ has increased by 23.3 percentage points, rising to 84.9%, close to the level of developed countries. The black and odorous water bodies in cities above and above are basically eliminated, and the safety of drinking water is effectively guaranteed.

Basic changes in the quality of soil environment. my country has introduced the soil pollution prevention and control law, and the soil pollution status of agricultural land and construction land has been launched in detail.

The quality of marine environment has improved significantly. In the past ten years, the excellent proportion of water quality in near -shore waters in the country has increased by about 17.6 percentage points to 81.3%. The beautiful bays of the beautiful bays of water clear beaches, fish gulls, and harmonious people in the sea are constantly emerging.

"Although the quality of the ecological environment is greatly improved, it is still a low -level improvement." Huang Runqiu said that during the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" period, it is necessary to use higher standards to in -depth pollution prevention.

Improve quality and stability of ecosystems

Beautiful natural ecology is the basis for the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. As of 2021, the national forest coverage rate reached 24.02%, the forest accumulation reached 19.493 billion cubic meters, and the forest area and forest storage volume remained "double growth".

Huang Runqiu said that in the past ten years, my country's ecological environmental protection system has been systematically improved, and relevant laws and regulations have been formulated and revised, and the protection of the rule of law of ecological protection has become more powerful. my country has established the natural protection land system with national parks, and officially established the first batch of five national parks such as Sanjiangyuan, which effectively protects 90%of the types of land ecosystems and 74%of national key protection wild animals and plant species.

Ecological protection supervision has continued to increase. The central ecological environmental protection supervision effectively solved a group of outstanding ecological environment damage problems. The relevant departments of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment have organized and carried out the "Green Shield" natural protection of the "Green Shield" for five consecutive years to promote the rectification of more than 5,000 issues in the national nature reserve.

Ecological security barrier is effectively consolidated. my country has implemented major projects of biodiversity protection and rescue projects for endangered species. It delineates 35 preferred areas of biological diversity protection. 112 species of rare and endangered wildlife have achieved wild return in the wild.

In addition, my country is deeply involved in global biodiversity governance, and the implementation of biodiversity protection goals is better than the global average.

The rapid growth of carbon dioxide emissions

Huang Runqiu introduced that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has put climate change in a more prominent position in national governance, implemented a national strategy that actively responded to climate change, continuously increased the reduction of carbon emissions intensity, and continuously strengthened the goal of independent contribution (NDC) , Promoting the development of economic and social development on the track of a comprehensive green transformation, achieved significant results.

In the past ten years, my country's carbon emissions intensity has dropped by 34.4%, which has reversed the rapid growth of carbon dioxide emissions, and green has become increasingly becoming a bright background in high -quality development of economic and social.

my country has steadily promoted the adjustment of energy structure. In the past ten years, coal consumption accounted for a one -time energy consumption ratio from 68.5%to 56%in 2021, and the proportion of non -fossil energy consumption increased by 6.9 percentage points to 16.6%. Renewable energy power generation installation increases by 2.1 times.

At the same time, the industrial structure is continuously optimized and upgraded. my country vigorously develops the green and low -carbon industry, continues to strictly control the blind expansion of high energy -consuming and high -emission projects, eliminate backward production capacity in accordance with laws and regulations, and accelerate the resolution of surplus capacity. In the past ten years, my country has supported an average annual economic growth of 6.5%with an average annual energy consumption growth rate, and the accumulated energy consumption intensity has decreased by 26.2%.

my country continues to improve carbon exchange capacity and adapt to climate change capabilities.Over the past ten years, my country has become the main force of "greening" in the world, and forest carbon exchange has increased by 7.3%.The ability to resist climate risk for key areas such as agriculture and infrastructure has continued to increase.In addition, my country has also promoted the construction of the national carbon market and contributed to China in promoting the global climate governance.Source | Xinhua News Agency reporter | Editor Gao Jing | Song Xiang
