in Beijing that China and the U.S. reached an agreement on climate change response.
The United States pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emissions to 26–28% below the
2005 level by 2025, which refreshed its previous commitment reducing it to 17%
below the 2005 level by 2020. China officially pledged for the first time that it aimed
to hit peak emissions by 2030 and that the share of non-fossil fuel in its total energy
demand will increase to 20% by 2030.
Dialectics of nature originates from practice and is tested in practice at all times.
It is not rigid dogma or empty preaching, but a guide to action. It requires people to
broaden their horizons and enliven their thoughts, not to simply stick to rules. As the
outpost and guard for the natural sciences, it must constantly absorb nutrients from
natural sciences and keep up with their development. The task of building a global
ecological civilization ultimately concerns fairness between people, how contemporary people treat the legacy of their ancestors, the gap in development between East
and West and North and South, and the relationship between us and our descendants.
However, for each and every generation, the key to building an ecological civilization
is to figure out how to achieve harmony between man and nature. Marx writes: “…
communism, as fully developed naturalism, equals humanism, and as fully developed
humanism equals naturalism; it is the genuine resolution of the conflict between man
and nature and between man and man – the true resolution of the strife between existence and essence, between objectification and self-confirmation, between freedom
and necessity, between the individual and the species.” From ideology to a form
of society, socialist ecological civilization has not only realized the sublimation of
civilization ideologies in the new era, but also laid a foundation in the ecological
front for the realization of the Chinese Dream (i.e., the great rejuvenation of the
Chinese nation) and a cornerstone of social equality for the country’s move towards
communism.
