5. Strengthening coordination of the reform and the construction of the system
for developing an ecological civilization
In some areas of the reform, it is difficult to advance the reform, formulate standards or
even implement alone at the provincial level or below. Therefore, it is recommended
that a national institutional framework should be in place, with supporting policies
and supervision and follow-up guidance, to avoid problems such as delay, repetition,
detours, and poor effects of reform.
6. Timely promoting good practices in the reform and construction of the
system for developing an ecological civilization
It is recommended that the task force for economic system and ecological progress

promotion of the reform results.
7. Strengthening the coordinated advancement of the reform of the system
for developing an ecological civilization in key regions and river basins
For example, in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we should advance coordinated
reform across provinces by “promoting well-coordinated environmental conservation
and avoiding excessive development,” including establishing a sound Yangtze River
ecological and environmental monitoring network system, reforming the comprehensive development and assessment system, improving the ecological compensation
mechanism, and strengthening the accountability and audit system. In the BeijingTianjin-Hebei region, we should focus on the fight against air and water pollution,
and advance coordinated reform in the centralized management of water basins,
cross-regional air pollution control, and emission rights trading.
8. Lending support to the reform of the system for developing an ecological
civilization in underdeveloped areas in various aspects
The central government should offer special support in such areas as cadre
training and assignment, financial support, technical support, equipment provision,
and advanced experience and models, to ensure that no prefecture, city or league is
left behind in the national drive to reform and build the system for developing an
