The ten years of the Yangtze River: Green high quality is the main theme of promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt

There are many tributaries and unique ecosystems in the Yangtze River, and it is also the most typical area in my country. The Yangtze River is the rivers of eternal life and an important ecological treasure house in my country. However, after more than ten years of development and construction, the Yangtze River ecology has shown many problems due to overdraft.

From promoting the development symposium of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in 2016, to the in -depth promotion of the Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Symposium in 2018, and comprehensively promoting the development symposium of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in 2020, the three important speeches of the Yangtze Economic Belt Development Symposium were in one pulse, but also gradual progress. The land provides ideological guidance and fundamental follow for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the social and economic development of the Yangtze River Basin.

With the implementation of the national strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, in the ten years, the ecological environmental protection of the Yangtze River has undergone turning changes, and economic and social development has achieved historic achievements. The Yangtze River Economic Belt has been given a new strategic mission of ecological priority green development main battlefield, unblocking domestic and international dual -cycle aorta, and leading the main force of high -quality economic development.

In ten years, the green ecological development of the Yangtze River Basin has changed. Ecological priority and green development concept are deeply rooted in people's hearts. The high -quality blue sky, blue water, and pure land of the Yangtze River along the Yangtze River will effectively promote the reform of the ecological civilization system and mechanism, accelerate the construction of environmental protection infrastructure, promote the continuous improvement of environmental governance systems, and strive to promote ecological construction And high -quality development. The water quality and ecological environment of the Yangtze River Basin changed significantly. In 2020, the proportion of excellent water quality (category Ⅲ) in the Yangtze River Basin was 96.7%, an increase of 14.9 percentage points from 2015, 13.3 percentage points higher than the national average.

In ten years, the economic and social development of the Yangtze River Basin has reached a new level. In 19 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Basin, the population scale and economic aggregate have exceeded the "half of the country" in the country, and the development potential is huge. In 2021, the national GDP was 1.1433 trillion yuan. The GDP of 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt alone reached 5.302 trillion yuan, an increase of 8.7%year -on -year. It is the fastest growing area in my country.

In ten years, the Yangtze River protection system and mechanism have been continuously established and improved. The "Yangtze River Protection Law" was approved by the 24th meeting of the 13th National People's Congress Standing Committee on December 26, 2020, and implemented on March 1, 2021. It became my country's first basin law. A new stage of protection according to law. The connection mechanism of ecological environmental administrative law enforcement, criminal justice and public interest litigation is initially established. Establishing a negative list management system for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, to accelerate the improvement of mechanisms such as ecological compensation, diversified investment, and water environmental quality monitoring and early warning, which provides a strong guarantee for promoting the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the development of the Yangtze River Basin.

In ten years, the green development pilot of the Yangtze River Basin took the lead in demonstration. Chongqing Guangyang Island and Shanghai Chongming, Wuhan, Hubei, Jiujiang, Jiangxi, Yueyang, Hunan, and other places combine their own resources and endowment characteristics to explore the new roads of ecology priority and green development. Implementation mechanism pilots, green development, and practicing the "two mountains" theory have become the main theme of these places development. Their development model provides good experience and development samples for Green Water Green Mountain to transform into Jinshan Yinshan.

Ten years, green high quality has become the main theme of development. Green is the symbol of life and the background of nature. Today, green represents the hope of a better life and the expectations of the people. Drink a river together to protect the beauty of the Yangtze River. Today, on both sides of the Yangtze River, we see a huge change in the Yangtze River, and what you have experienced is the profound change of China's development concept in the new era.

Dajiang is running, writing a new picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains; In the tide of green development in the new era, adhere to the comprehensive implementation of new development concepts, promote the high -quality development of the Yangtze River, keep the legal bottom line, and use the song of high -quality development of high -quality development in China with conceptual changes, power changes and institutional changes!
