A few days ago, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China held a meeting to review the "Opinions on Several Policies and Measures to Further Promote the High-quality Development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt". The meeting made a series of important arrangements to promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, which mentioned that "it is necessary to adhere to inter-provincial consultation, ecological co-governance, global co-construction, development and sharing, improve the level of regional transportation integration, deepen the market-oriented reform of factors, and promote regional coordinated development". Previously, at the symposium on further promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the general secretary also emphasized the need to "steadily promote the construction of ecological communities and communities of interests, and promote coordinated regional development". These important expositions provide important guidelines for promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and point out the way forward for us to enhance the systematic, holistic and collaborative nature of various tasks.
The natural ecosystem is an organic ecosystem with its own objective laws of development and evolution. The Yangtze River has a unique ecosystem, and as a basin economy, the Yangtze River Economic Belt involves water, roads, ports, shores, industries, cities, organisms, wetlands, environment and other aspects, which is a whole, so it must be comprehensively grasped and planned. Steadily promoting the construction of an ecological community is not only the need to face the reality of symbiosis and coexistence, but also the need to undertake the mission of common governance. Steadily promoting the construction of an ecological community provides a new practical path for provinces and cities along the Yangtze River Basin to implement inter-provincial consultation, ecological co-governance, global co-construction, and development sharing, which is conducive to the coordinated economic and social development and the overall balance of the ecological environment in the Yangtze River Basin.
To steadily promote the construction of an ecological community in the Yangtze River Basin, we should not only pay attention to the characteristics and needs of each province and city, but also pursue coordination and unity within the region, so as to promote inter-provincial cooperation to a new stage through joint discussion on green development. We should not only see the long-term goals and urgent needs of the construction of the ecological community in the Yangtze River Basin, but also pay attention to the practical problems and difficulties and challenges of the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River in each step of specific practice, constantly adjust and optimize the strategies and methods of inter-provincial cooperation, tighten the ties of cooperation, and steadily promote the construction of a community of interests. Through inter-provincial consultations, provinces and cities along the Yangtze River should find a balance between high-level protection and high-quality development, plan the integration path of ecology and development from the perspective of the whole basin, and promote the coordination of local and global aspects, the integration of symptoms and root causes, and the combination of current and long-term.
In the practice of ecological co-governance in the Yangtze River Basin, the relationship between the efficient use of production space and the effective protection of ecological space is dialectically unified. Through high-level protection, we will accelerate the formation of an industrial structure with high technology content, low resource consumption and low environmental pollution, and promote development in the green transformation to achieve effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth. The quality of living space directly affects the happiness and satisfaction of residents, and is related to the sustainability of production and ecological space. The key to the co-governance of production, life and ecology in the Yangtze River Basin lies in finding an effective way to realize the transformation of ecological value through scientific planning, reasonable policies and effective regional cooperation mechanisms, and to promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth in a coordinated manner, so as to accelerate the formation of a spatial pattern, industrial structure, production mode and lifestyle that conserves resources and protects the environment.
No matter how the Yangtze River Economic Belt develops in the future and what stage of development it reaches, it is impossible to leave the nourishment of the Yangtze River. 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. To promote the joint construction of provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, it is necessary not only to adhere to the strictest system and the strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment and maintain normalized external pressure, but also to cultivate ecological culture and stimulate the endogenous power of the whole society to jointly care for the ecological environment. At present, the joint construction of the Yangtze River can give priority to the construction of the Yangtze River ecological corridor, and link multiple ecological nodes in the spatial distribution of the basin to form an ecological network, which not only meets the dispersal, migration and exchange of species, but also provides strong support for water resources management, environmental governance and disaster prevention and mitigation between regions, mobilizes the enthusiasm of all parties, and forms a life community of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands. In this process, it is necessary to comprehensively use natural restoration and artificial restoration, and take measures according to local and time conditions, zoning and classification policies, so as to find the best solution for ecological protection and restoration.
The natural beauty of the mountains and forests, the blue and green of the plains, and the singing of birds and flowers in the urban and rural areas is not only a valuable asset for the residents of the river basin, but also an indispensable part of a better life. In the process of promoting the construction of the ecological community in the Yangtze River Basin, development and sharing not only means that the ecological advantages of the Yangtze River Basin will be jointly transformed into new drivers and new advantages for high-quality economic development, and high-quality ecological environment will support high-quality developmentIt also includes providing more high-quality ecological products, so that the people can share the beauty of nature, life and life in a beautiful home. Let the joint care of the ecological environment become the conscious action of all parties in the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, steadily promote the construction of the ecological community in the Yangtze River Basin, solve the problems of ecological security and the effective transformation and rational distribution of ecological wealth in the Yangtze River Basin, better realize the regional coordination and integration of the Yangtze River Basin, and move towards a better future of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
