Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of ecological civilization and the integration of high-quality development with environmental protection, highlighting China's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable growth through coordinated efforts in reducing carbon emissions, pollution, expanding green spaces, and economic growth [5][6][10]. Group 1: Achievements in Environmental Protection - Since the 18th National Congress, significant progress has been made in ecological protection, with air quality improving and the average concentration of PM2.5 decreasing from 46 micrograms per cubic meter in 2015 to 29.3 micrograms per cubic meter by 2024, making China the fastest country in the world to improve air quality [7]. - The proportion of surface water with good quality has reached 90.4%, an increase of 28.8 percentage points since 2012, and the quality of coastal waters has improved, with 83.7% classified as good [7]. Group 2: Green Economic Transformation - China's energy consumption has grown at an average rate of 3.3% while achieving over 6.1% economic growth, making it one of the fastest countries in reducing energy intensity [8]. - By 2024, the share of clean energy in total energy consumption is expected to rise to 28.6%, while coal's share will decrease to 53.2%. Renewable energy installations account for 86% of new power capacity, surpassing half of the global additions [8]. - The production and sales of new energy vehicles represent over 70% of the global market, maintaining China's position as the world's largest producer for ten consecutive years [8]. Group 3: Ecological and Economic Integration - The "Two Mountains" theory has facilitated the transformation of ecological advantages into developmental benefits, with over 30% of land designated as ecological protection red lines and forest coverage exceeding 25% [9]. - The establishment of a national park system and various ecological compensation mechanisms has promoted practices that convert ecological health into economic value, with 572 ecological civilization demonstration zones created [9]. Group 4: Future Directions - The focus on ecological priority and green, low-carbon high-quality development is set to continue, with an emphasis on integrating pollution reduction and carbon emission control into broader economic strategies [10][11]. - The promotion of green production and the establishment of market mechanisms for resource allocation are essential for achieving sustainable development goals [11].
