morality and promote environmental culture in their work.
4. Coordinating with international forces to create a new situation of win–win
interactions
As globalization is deepened day by day, ecological protection and environmental
governance are no longer the work of one country or one organization. It takes the
united efforts of all countries in the world to bring about a healthy ecosystem on earth
and transform the human civilization. As the world’s largest developing country,
China should combine its ecological efforts with global eco-environmental issues
that mankind is most concerned with. On the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities, equity and respective capability, it should engage in extensive
cooperation with the international community to actively cope with global climate
change and jointly advance sustainability.
3 We Must Keep Up Ecological Efforts Across
Administrations and Generations
Promoting ecological civilization and building a beautiful China is a long-term and
arduous task that cannot be achieved overnight. We must clearly and fully understand
how onerous, complicated and prolonged this task is, so that the whole Party and
whole nation will make consistent efforts toward it without fail. Every administration,
every generation should work hard and pass the baton on to the successors, and forces
both inside and outside China should be mobilized toward the goal of lucid waters
and lush mountains. That’s the only way to achieve a beautiful China characterized
by advanced production, affluent life, and a sound ecology of blue sky, green land
and clear water.
To make continued efforts for ecological civilization, what’s most important is
that CPC committees and governments of all levels should maintain continuity in
their work. They must undertake ecological civilization as a great cause from term to
term, and take no unwise or short-sighted actions for immediate GDP growth. Rather,
they should truly take people’s welfare and national rise as their own responsibility,
and view a beautiful ecological environment as the greatest achievement. Resting
on the ancestors’ laurels and leaving trouble to the offspring for personal performance and immediate benefits is absolutely out of the question. General Secretary
Xi Jinping stressed the importance of holding the ecological red line, adding that
any overstepping on environmental protection would be punished. This is the new,
higher requirement made by the CPC Central Committee on the whole Party and
whole nation regarding environmental conservation. In light of the implementation
of the National Plan for Main Functional Zones and the Opinions of the State Council
on Key Work of Strengthening Environmental Protection, we should carry out studies
