social progress and environmental protection, promote low-carbon energy consumption and economic progress, and embark on a climate-suitable low-carbon economy
development path—all of which are of universal guiding significance. Xi Jinping
also put forward the idea of building a global ecological civilization, stressing that
“it is necessary to build an ecological system that respects nature and promotes green
development. It is necessary to resolve the contradictions brought about by industrial civilization, achieve harmony between man and nature, and achieve sustainable
development of the world and all-round development of mankind.” It will become
an important guiding ideology for global cooperation in responding to the ecological
crisis, promoting the transformation of human society from industrial civilization
to ecological civilization, leading the overhaul of the world’s economic and social
development methods, and achieving harmony between man and nature.
China is “taking a driving seat in international cooperation to respond to climate
change, China has become an important participant, contributor, and torchbearer
in the global endeavor for ecological civilization,” and has played a positive role
in promoting the conclusion and entry into force of the Paris Agreement. While
implementing the Paris Agreement, we adhere to Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological
Civilization as a guide at home, firmly following the path of increasing production, achieving affluence and maintaining good ecology by carrying out the strictest
ecological and environmental protection system to build a beautiful China. We adhere
to the sustainable development concept of a green and low-carbon circle, which is
consistent with the development path of a climate-friendly, low-carbon economy
advocated by the Paris Agreement. China has achieved great results in energy reform
and carbon dioxide emission reduction. By combining the response to climate change
with domestic sustainable development, we have created a win-win situation for the
economy, people’s livelihood, energy, the environment, and carbon dioxide emission
reduction, making China a vital contributor and leader in the world’s energy transformation and transition to a low-carbon economy. In short, China’s energy utilization
and economic transformation, new urbanization construction, industrial transformation and upgrading, environmental governance, and other successful experiences and
cases, as well as its energy-saving and carbon-reduction policy systems and ecological civilization system construction, can all be imitated and referenced by other
developing countries. Moreover, China’s remarkable achievements and successful
experience in building an ecological civilization and environmental protection, along
with its ideas and practices of creating an economic system, institutional system,
and ecological safety system based on ecological civilization, will also play an
active leading role in building a global ecological civilization and promoting global
sustainable development.
The report of the 19th National Congress emphasized that China would follow
a path of peaceful development, work to build a community with a shared future
for mankind, uphold the global governance concept of extensive consultation, joint
construction, and shared benefits, actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, and keep contributing Chinese wisdom and
approach. The report also stressed that we should be good friends to the environment,
cooperate to tackle climate change, protect our planet for the sake of human survival,
