Core Concept - The article emphasizes the importance of implementing the "Two Mountains" concept, which advocates for high-level ecological protection and the transformation of ecological value into economic benefits, as a fundamental requirement of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought [1]. Summary by Sections Ecological Product Value Realization - Significant progress has been made in realizing the value of ecological products, including the establishment of a clearer conceptual system, the improvement of ecological product catalogs, and the formation of policy mechanisms [1]. - Over 40% of cities at the prefecture level and above have conducted GEP (Gross Ecosystem Product) accounting, with 12 national pilot regions identified to explore various value realization pathways [1]. Definition and Classification of Ecological Products - The definition of ecological products should evolve, with the 2022 GEP accounting framework categorizing them into three types: material supply, regulation services, and cultural services [2]. - Current GEP accounting does not fully capture the market value of processed ecological products, leading to a lack of comparability in value realization efforts [2]. Ecosystem Product Types - Ecological products can be classified into two categories: ecological regulation products and ecological economic products, with the latter focusing on the value-added process of primary ecological products [3]. - The introduction of the GEP-E (Gross Ecosystem Product-Economy) concept aims to account for the market value of processed ecological products, emphasizing the importance of capital, labor, and technology in driving ecological industrialization [4]. Government Role and Measurement - GEP-R (Gross Ecosystem Product-Regulating) is proposed to measure the monetary value of non-market ecological regulation products, reflecting government performance in ecological protection [5]. - A structured ecological industry accounting system is necessary, including the development of an ecological economic product list and an ecological industry list [6][7]. Implementation of Ecological Industry Accounting - The establishment of technical standards for ecological industry accounting is essential, along with the integration of these standards into the national economic accounting system [8]. - Key indicators such as ecological industry value added, growth rate, and their share of GDP will serve as core metrics for assessing the effectiveness of ecological product value realization [8]. Application of Ecological Industry Accounting - The results of ecological industry accounting can quantify the effectiveness of ecological product value realization and support the formulation of planning goals [9]. - GEP-E and GEP-R can be utilized in government performance evaluations and as a basis for developing industry policies [9][10]. Encouragement of Stakeholder Engagement - Stakeholders, including government departments and financial institutions, are encouraged to leverage ecological product value accounting results to promote sustainable practices and financial support for ecological industrialization [10].
