improving the quality of the ecological environment as the core, and build a governance system and modernization of governance capabilities to protect the ecological civilization system, and create an ecological security system focusing on the
benign the ecosystem as well as effective prevention and control of environmental
risks—a series of thoughts and measures that will play an active role in leading and
demonstrating the building of an ecological civilization around the world.
To achieve the dual goals of sustained human economic and social development
and control of global temperature rise and protection of the earth’s ecological security, we should focus on promoting the revolutionary transformation of the energy
system and realizing the low-carbon transformation of economic and social development. This is also the fundamental approach and key to building global ecological
civilization. The ever-increasing consumption of fossil energy since the Industrial
Revolution has caused the emissions of greenhouse gases, along with other common
pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and smoke, which have been damaging
the world’s ecology. Whether it is to protect and improve the regional ecological
environment or to address climate change, it is necessary to control and reduce
fossil energy consumption before a new energy system with zero pollution and zero
carbon emissions emerge to replace the current system based on fossil energy with
high pollution and high carbon emissions. Therefore, the revolutionary transformation of the energy system has become a new trend, a strategic choice for countries
to respond to global climate change and promote domestic sustainable development,
as well as an important field and focus of global ecological civilization construction.
Making revolutionary changes in the energy system to promote economic and social
development onto a sustainable development path characterized by a green and lowcarbon circle is the fundamental way to turn industrial civilization into ecological
civilization.
China has incorporated the building of an ecological civilization into the overall
layout of its five-pronged socialist modernization, and put it in a prominent position. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, we
have achieved world-renowned results: for example, we are revolutionizing energy
production and consumption, turning our development mode into a green one,
strengthening the building of the ecological civilization system, speeding up the
establishment of legal systems and policies for green production and consumption,
creating and improving a green, low-carbon economy, advancing the revolution of
energy production and consumption, building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, and advocating a simple and moderate, green and low-carbon
lifestyle. With successful practices in transforming its development mode through
our guiding ideology, strategic thinking, implementation approach, and policy guarantee measures, we will offer our experience and contribute to the transformation
of the global development model, while influencing and leading global energy and
development model transformation.
China has been improving environmental quality and responding to climate
change at home and abroad, strengthening the building of the ecological civilization system, and incorporating energy conservation and carbon reduction into the
national economic and social development plan. During the 11th Five-Year Plan
