the ecological civilization strategy. A new situation should be created to effectively foster green industries and promote them to quickly grow into dominant
industries.
(4) Developing green energy is the inherent demand of energy development laws.
From high carbon to low carbon, low efficiency to high efficiency, dirty to
clean, black to green—this is the general trend of energy evolution and the
basic law of energy development. Therefore, implementing the green energy
strategy that prioritizes clean and green energies is a consensus of all countries,
both developed and developing, and the strategic task of China’s energy development. Another focal point of advancing the ecological civilization strategy
comprehensively is pushing the fundamental shift from a high-carbon energy
and economic structure to a low-carbon or zero-carbon one. While seeking
low-carbon utilization of high-carbon energies, we should actively develop
renewable energies and various gaseous fuels in the attempt to walk into the
new age of green energy and economy.
(5) The green science and technology strategy in the new era is an innovative
continuation of the “strengthening the country through science and technology” strategy implemented after the reform and opening up. Seventeen years
ago, I said the ecological trend of modern science and technology was the
essential direction of sci-tech and economic progress, and modern science and
technology must develop for the purpose of protecting environment, improving
ecology and enhancing nature. At the moment, the ecological and green development of science and technology has grown into an unstoppable trend in all
countries around the world, including China. It calls for the “comprehensive
advancement of ecological civilization” (said General Secretary Xi Jinping) in
the new era, which, like the comprehensive implementation of green science
and technology strategy, should also revolve around resource conservation,
environmental protection, ecological improvement and natural development,
which are the strategic tasks of green sci-tech innovation. Such innovation will
be the technological pillar for implementing the ecological civilization strategy
by integrating green technologies, industries and energies in driving national
development.
7 Fundamental Guide and Basic Principles
for Implementing the Ecological Civilization Strategy
in the New Era
Marxist scholars in China share the view that the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialist
Ecological Civilization is a rigorously logical, complete and scientific theoretical
system. It systematically reviews the CPC’s theoretical explorations for ecological civilization and is a theoretical representation of the ecological civilization as
socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. We must closely follow
the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era
