Points of Ecological Civilization
Development

China has entered a critical period of ecological civilization development under pressures from multiple aspects. A careful review of China’s efforts in ecological civilization development in recent years and an in-depth analysis of achievements, problems,
and key points are of great significance for accelerating development in this regard
and building a beautiful China. This paper proposes three suggestions concerning the
highlights, difficulties, and key points of China’s ecological civilization development
efforts.
1 Highlights
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) with Comrade
Xi Jinping at its core has set ecological civilization development as a great cause
concerning the welfare of its people, the future of the Chinese nation, the fulfillment
of the Two Centenary goals, and the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation since the
18th National Congress of the CPC. A package of major policies has been adopted to
initiate radical and comprehensive changes in regard to an ecological civilization. We
have made a number of unprecedented achievements in the following five aspects.
1. Unprecedented attention: ecological civilization as part of the Five-Sphere
Integrated Plan
With an eye on the bigger picture, the CPC Central Committee has included ecological
civilization as one of the major tasks for building socialism with Chinese characteristics, and made the historic leap from “two civilizations” to Three-Sphere Integrated
Plan, Four-Sphere Integrated Plan, and now Five-Sphere Integrated Plan. Meanwhile,
