Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the progress and new initiatives in ecological civilization construction in China, emphasizing the importance of the "Green Mountains and Clear Water are Gold and Silver Mountains" concept, which marks its 20th anniversary this year [1]. Group 1: Ecological Civilization Construction - Since 2017, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has named 572 ecological civilization demonstration zones and 240 "Green Mountains and Clear Water are Gold and Silver Mountains" practice innovation bases [1]. - The ecological environment quality has "significantly improved," with demonstration zones generally ranking among the best in air and water quality within their provinces [1]. - Nearly half of the "Two Mountains" bases have reached an "excellent" ecological status, indicating a strengthening of ecological foundations [2]. Group 2: Green Development and Transformation Paths - Green development is "continuously leading," with regions focusing on dual carbon goals, transitioning from energy consumption control to carbon emission control, and achieving leading levels in energy consumption and carbon emission intensity per unit GDP across provinces [1][2]. - The article outlines three transformation paths for turning ecological advantages into economic benefits: "Protect Green for Gold," "Gather Green into Gold," and "Borrow Green to Generate Gold," along with seven transformation models including ecological compensation, ecological agriculture, ecological tourism, and ecological finance [2]. Group 3: New Selection and Management Procedures - The selection cycle for ecological civilization demonstration projects has been extended from one year to three years, aiming to reduce frequency and control quantity, thereby enhancing the "gold content" of the projects [3]. - New requirements for the selection process include optimizing indicators, with city-level indicators focusing more on comprehensive construction effectiveness and county-level indicators emphasizing task implementation and rural environmental improvement [2][3]. - The management regulations for ecological civilization demonstration projects have been revised to simplify procedures, shifting from "planning-led" to "indicator-oriented," effectively reducing the burden on grassroots levels [2].
