1、“生态文明建设在党和国家事业发展全局中的重要地位”
党的十八大以来，我们加强党对生态文明建设的全面领导，把生态文明建设摆在全局工作的突出位置，作出一系列重大战略部署。
在“五位一体”总体布局中，生态文明建设是其中一位；在新时代坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的基本方略中，坚持人与自然和谐共生是其中一条；在新发展理念中，绿色是其中一项；在三大攻坚战中，污染防治是其中一战；在到本世纪中叶建成社会主义现代化强国目标中，美丽中国是其中一个。
这充分体现了我们对生态文明建设重要性的认识，明确了生态文明建设在党和国家事业发展全局中的重要地位。
2、“生态文明建设从认识到实践都发生了历史性、转折性、全局性的变化”
我们全面加强生态文明建设，系统谋划生态文明体制改革，一体治理山水林田湖草沙，开展了一系列根本性、开创性、长远性工作，决心之大、力度之大、成效之大前所未有，生态文明建设从认识到实践都发生了历史性、转折性、全局性的变化。
In the past nine years, the blue sky and white clouds have reappeared, the green map has been continuously expanded, the green economy has been accelerated, the energy and material consumption have been continuously reduced, the heavy smog has been effectively suppressed, the black and odorous water bodies have been significantly reduced, the urban and rural environment has become more livable, and the construction of beautiful China has made solid progress. Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept has become the consensus and action of the whole party and society.
According to NASA satellite data, between 2000 and 2017, about one quarter of the newly-added green area in the world came from China. China leads the negotiation process of global climate change, actively promotes the signing, entry into force and implementation of the Paris Agreement, and announces that carbon dioxide emissions will reach the peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The achievements made in China’s ecological civilization construction have also been widely affirmed by the international community.
Youyu County, Shanxi Province, is located at the edge of Mu Us Desert. Since the founding of New China more than 70 years ago, the cadres and masses of Youyu have been planting trees continuously under the leadership of the Party, and the greening rate of trees has increased from less than 0.3% to 57%, creating an ecological miracle of turning a "barren land" into an "oasis".

3. "Ecological environmental protection and economic development are dialectical unity and complement each other."
Practice shows that ecological environment protection and economic development are dialectical unity and complementary. Building ecological civilization and promoting green and low-carbon circular development can not only meet the people’s growing needs for beautiful ecological environment, but also promote higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development, and embark on a civilized development path of production development, affluent life and good ecology.
4. "China’s modernization is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature"
At the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, I emphasized that China’s socialist modernization has many important features, one of which is that China’s modernization is a modernization in which man and nature coexist harmoniously, and it pays attention to promoting the construction of material civilization and ecological civilization simultaneously.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China’s ecological civilization construction has entered a critical period with carbon reduction as the key strategic direction, promoting the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, promoting the overall green transformation of economic and social development, and realizing the improvement of ecological environment quality from quantitative change to qualitative change.
We should implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, maintain strategic strength, plan economic and social development from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, adhere to the basic national policy of saving resources and protecting the environment, adhere to the policy of giving priority to saving, giving priority to protection and giving priority to natural restoration, form a spatial pattern, industrial structure, production mode and lifestyle of saving resources and protecting the environment, coordinate pollution control, ecological protection, coping with climate change, promote the continuous improvement of the ecological environment, and strive to build people.
5. "Persevere in promoting green and low-carbon development"
Establishing and perfecting a green and low-carbon circular economic system and promoting a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development are the basic strategies to solve China’s ecological and environmental problems.
It is necessary to realize the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction as the general starting point to promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure, energy structure, transportation structure and land use structure.

We should seize the key of industrial restructuring, accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries, high-tech industries and modern service industries, promote the clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient use of energy, and continuously reduce the intensity of carbon emissions.
It is necessary to solve the problem of insufficient scientific and technological support for promoting green and low-carbon development, strengthen scientific and technological research such as carbon capture and storage technology and zero-carbon industrial process reengineering technology, and support the transformation of green and low-carbon technological innovation achievements. It is necessary to develop green finance and support green technological innovation.
6. peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality cannot be achieved easily.
I have repeatedly stressed that reducing carbon dioxide emissions and tackling climate change are not what others want us to do, but what we should do ourselves. Realizing peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality is a solemn commitment made by China to the world, and it is also a broad and profound economic and social change, which can never be achieved easily.
Party committees and governments at all levels should take the initiative to grasp the iron and trace the stone, make clear the timetable, road map and construction drawing, and promote economic and social development on the basis of efficient use of resources and green and low-carbon development.

11. "Take the political responsibility for the construction of ecological civilization"
On May 18, 2018, I proposed at the National Ecological Environment Protection Conference that China’s ecological civilization construction is in a critical period of pressure superposition and heavy burden, and it has entered a critical period of providing more high-quality ecological products to meet the people’s growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment, and it has also reached a window period when it has the conditions and ability to solve outstanding problems in the ecological environment.
Party committees and governments at all levels should improve their political judgment, political understanding and political execution, bear the political responsibility of ecological civilization construction with the heart of "the country is the biggest", resolutely ban it, and ensure that the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee on ecological civilization construction are effective.
