Maintain strategic focus and make greater efforts in high-level protection
—— Jiangsu cadres and masses conscientiously studied and implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech at the symposium on further promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt
“In the long run, promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt fundamentally depends on the high-quality ecological environment of the Yangtze River Basin. We must unswervingly adhere to joint efforts in large-scale protection, not large-scale development, and make greater efforts in high-level protection. “General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech at the symposium on further promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt aroused enthusiastic responses among Jiangsu cadres and the masses. Everyone expressed that they must conscientiously implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech, maintain the strategic determination of joint efforts and great protection, continue to work hard and achieve long-term results, and ensure that “one river of clear water flows eastward.”
Firmly adhere to and manage ecological red lines
“Ecological red lines have been delineated in various places along the river, and they must be maintained, strengthened zoning control of the ecological environment, and strictly implemented the access list.” General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his speech that party committees and governments at all levels must keep the delineated important local ecological spaces in mind. There are a lot of them, give priority to protection and protect them strictly.
According to the delineation results of Jiangsu Province’s “Three Districts and Three Lines” approved by the state, our province has delineated a total ecological protection red line area of approximately 18,200 square kilometers. The ecological protection red lines include areas with the most important natural ecosystems, the most unique natural landscapes, the most essential natural heritage, and the richest biodiversity in Jiangsu. The Provincial Department of Natural Resources has decomposed them as binding indicator zones and distributed them to all cities and counties. Strictly implement it in the overall planning of city and county land space to ensure that the upper and lower ranges are consistent and the number of maps is consistent. “We will collaborate with the ecological environment department to formulate ecological environment zoning management and control plans and environmental access standards in accordance with the planning zoning determined by the land spatial plan, and maintain the ecological protection red line spatial scope from the institutional mechanism, standardize the management and control of human activities, and strictly protect the ecological environment. Let this major institutional innovation in ecological civilization construction continue to empower the construction of ‘Beautiful Jiangsu’.” said Zhu Fengwu, director of the Land and Spatial Planning Bureau of the Provincial Department of Natural Resources.
In recent years, Dantu District, Zhenjiang City has always placed an overwhelming priority on restoring the ecological environment of the Yangtze River. It has canceled the positioning of the Dantu Economic Development Zone as a chemical park and has closed 11 chemical companies. Dai Yifeng, deputy head of Dantu District, said that the new development concept will be completely, accurately and comprehensively implemented, and the “ecologically established district and industrially strong district” will be unswervingly implemented. Focusing on the city’s “four groups and eight chains” and Dantu’s key industries, we will comprehensively implement the Yangtze River Development Plan The “negative list” for economic belt development will further improve the industrial project generation mechanism in the region, so that projects that do not meet the requirements of industrial positioning, ecological environmental protection, dual energy consumption control, and safe production will be resolutely rejected, and the “new content” of economic development along the river will be improved. “Gold content” and “green content”.
The “Suzhou Taihu Ecological Island Regulations” will be officially implemented in 2021. This is the first time Jiangsu has protected the ecology of Taihu Islands in the form of legislation. For more than two years, Jinting Town, Wuzhong District, located in the “Heart of Taihu Lake”, has closely focused on the construction goal of “a low-carbon, beautiful, wealthy, civilized and harmonious ecological demonstration island” stipulated in the regulations, boldly innovated, and coordinated the promotion of landscape, forest and farmland Lake grass system management and green development. Wang Yinping, mayor of Jinting Town, said: “The next step is to follow the Taihu Ecological Island Construction Project Plan, focus on ecological governance, promote the construction of happy rivers and lakes by area, further increase the collection rate of village sewage interception and pipes, and focus on the integrated development of agriculture, culture and tourism. In accordance with the Taihu Ecological Island Cultural Tourism Partnership Plan, we will promote the upgrading and transformation of inefficient stock carriers, so that scenic places can breed new economies.”
Continue to strengthen comprehensive management of the ecological environment
The ecological environment protection and high-quality development in the Yangtze River Basin are in a critical period from quantitative changes to qualitative changes. The results achieved are not yet stable. Objectively, there are still many difficulties and problems, and we must continue to work hard to solve them.
Miao Mingsheng, Director of the Comprehensive Business Division of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, said that he will thoroughly study and implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s series of important speeches, fully implement the spirit of the national and provincial ecological environment protection conferences, and conscientiously implement the deployment of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 14th Provincial Party Committee It requires promoting high-level protection of the ecological environment and high-quality economic and social development to go hand in hand, paying more attention to front-end pollution control and essential pollution control, strengthening ecological environment zoning management and control, promoting the advanced evaluation of ecological environment access, accelerating the green transformation and development of traditional industries, and in-depth Promote the construction of ecological environment infrastructure, reduce the total amount of pollutant emissions from the source, and support high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment.
Nanjing is the “first stop” for the Yangtze River to enter Jiangsu. Li Wenqing, Party Secretary and Director of the Nanjing Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau, said that in the past eight years since the implementation of the Yangtze River Economic Belt development strategy, Nanjing has insisted on jointly focusing on large-scale protection and not engaging in large-scale development. Significant progress has been made in the restoration. “In the next step, Nanjing’s ecological environment system will conscientiously study, understand and thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech, maintain the strategic focus of joint efforts to protect the river, implement comprehensive governance, and solidly promote the development of returning the river to the people, coexisting with the river, and supporting the river. vivid practice.”
The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that Jiangsu has nearly 1,200 kilometers of island coastline on the main stream of the Yangtze River and about 6,800 square kilometers of lake area. The Yangtze River has a wide surface, many tidal flats and reedy river branches, and also involves the Yangtze River Estuary and the Jiangsu-Anhui border waters. The task of banning and retiring fishing is arduous and onerous. The Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs regards the “ten-year fishing ban” in the Yangtze River as a major political task, further adheres to a high position and strong responsibility, and has a deep understanding of the long-term, complex, and arduous nature of the Yangtze River fishing ban; insists on using heavy punches and sharp swords to Strictly crack down on all types of fishing-related illegal activities; insist on monitoring, protecting the ecology, and scientifically implement aquatic biological resource conservation; insist on strengthening the foundation and looking for the long term, and constantly improve the long-term management mechanism of the “ten-year fishing ban”.
Collaboratively promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction and green growth
To promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we must coordinately promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, maintain the green background of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation.
In order to protect the surrounding environment along the river, Zhangjiagang closed down the Dongsha Chemical Industry Zone and transformed it into the “Jiangnan Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park”. “Working together to protect the economy will not only not affect economic development, but also promote the conversion of old and new driving forces and high-quality development, creating conditions for the development of new driving forces.” Ji Feng, deputy director of the Zhangjiagang Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said that the industrial transformation and upgrading of traditional industries will be accelerated. “Intelligent transformation and digital transformation”, greater efforts will be made to accelerate the implementation of industrial technological transformation, environmental protection improvement, transformation and upgrading projects along the river, promote the modernization of the industrial chain and supply chain, and continue to create a characteristic ecology, actively build ecological green corridors along the river, and strengthen the natural coastline , focus on the protection and restoration of key wetlands, coordinate ecological protection and economic development, and take the ecological product value pilot work as an opportunity to explore the construction of a market mechanism for “ecological points” to participate in ecological product transactions.
Gaochun District of Nanjing City, which has “three mountains, two waters and five acres of farmland”, is the first to explore ways to “realize ecological value into economic value”. In 2021, Gaochun District took the lead in the province to issue special GEP assessment opinions and piloted a dual accounting, dual assessment, and dual assessment system for GDP and GEP. Huang Xiang, deputy director of the Gaochun District Development and Reform Commission, said that the next step will be to carry out total value accounting of ecological products and build an accounting platform to promote the application of ecological product value accounting results in assessment and evaluation, business development financing, ecological resource rights and interests transactions, etc., and at the same time promote regional agricultural greenhouse gas emissions Emission reduction, carbon sequestration in farmland soil, and carbon footprint certification of agricultural products promote the green and low-carbon transformation of industrial structure, energy structure, transportation methods, and spatial layout.
Liu Xu, director of the Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Department of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said that the green transformation and upgrading of industries will be a top priority, focusing on energy-saving transformation in key areas of the steel, petrochemical, chemical and other industries, formulating implementation plans for technological transformation of enterprises in key areas, and promoting existing enterprises Improve energy efficiency and cultivate and build energy efficiency benchmark enterprises. We must resolutely curb the blind development of “two highs and one low” projects and strengthen the scientific and refined management of “two highs” projects. Cultivate and expand green and low-carbon industries, and accelerate the formation of a modern green industrial system characterized by efficiency, recycling, and low carbon. Improve the coordinated governance capabilities of the upper and lower reaches of the river basin, explore and optimize the assessment indicator system and compensation methods, promote the establishment of an ecological compensation mechanism for the main and tributaries of the Yangtze River, and promote the continuous improvement of the water quality of transboundary water bodies.
