Report of the 19th National Congress

On October 18, 2017, Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out in the report of the 19th National Congress that we should accelerate the reform of the ecological civilization system and build a beautiful China.
Xi Jinping said that man and nature are a community of life, and human beings must respect, adapt to and protect nature.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the modernization we want to build is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. We should not only create more material and spiritual wealth to meet the people's growing needs for a better life, but also provide more high-quality ecological products to meet the people's growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment. We must adhere to the principle of giving priority to conservation, protection and natural recovery, and form a spatial pattern, industrial structure, production mode and lifestyle of conserving resources and protecting the environment.
First, we should promote green development. Accelerate the establishment of legal systems and policy guidance for green production and consumption, and establish and improve the economic system of green and low-carbon circular development. We will build a market-oriented green technology innovation system, develop green finance, and expand energy conservation and environmental protection industries, clean production industries, and clean energy industries. Promote the revolution of energy production and consumption, and build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system. Promote the comprehensive conservation and recycling of resources, implement the national water-saving action, reduce energy and material consumption, and realize the circular link between the production system and the living system. Advocate a simple, moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle, oppose extravagance, waste and unreasonable consumption, and carry out actions such as creating energy-saving institutions, green families, green schools, green communities and green travel.
Second, we should focus on solving outstanding environmental problems. We will continue to implement air pollution prevention and control actions to win the battle of defending the blue sky. We will accelerate the prevention and control of water pollution, and comprehensively harness the river basin environment and coastal waters. We will strengthen the control and remediation of soil pollution, strengthen the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution, and carry out actions to improve rural human settlements. Strengthen the disposal of solid waste and garbage. We will raise pollution discharge standards, strengthen the responsibility of polluters, and improve systems such as environmental credit evaluation, mandatory disclosure of information, and severe punishment. Build an environmental governance system led by the government, dominated by enterprises, and jointly participated by social organizations and the public. Actively participate in global environmental governance and implement emission reduction commitments.
Third, we need to strengthen ecosystem protection. We will implement major projects to protect and repair important ecosystems, optimize the ecological security barrier system, build ecological corridors and biodiversity protection networks, and improve the quality and stability of ecosystems. We will complete the delineation of three control lines: ecological protection red line, permanent basic farmland, and urban development boundary. Carry out land greening action, promote comprehensive control of desertification, rocky desertification, water and soil loss, strengthen wetland protection and recovery, and strengthen the prevention and control of geological disasters. We will improve the system for protecting natural forests and expand the conversion of farmland to forests and grasslands. Strictly protect cultivated land, expand the pilot program of crop rotation and fallow, improve the system of recuperation of cultivated land, grassland, forest, rivers and lakes, and establish a market-oriented and diversified ecological compensation mechanism.
Fourth, we need to reform the ecological environment supervision system. Strengthen the overall design and organizational leadership of ecological civilization construction, establish state-owned natural resource asset management and natural ecological supervision institutions, improve the ecological environment management system, uniformly exercise the responsibilities of owners of natural resource assets owned by the whole people, and uniformly exercise the responsibilities of all land and space use control and ecological protection and restoration, Uniformly exercise the responsibility of supervising and controlling various urban and rural pollution emissions and administrative law enforcement. We will establish a land space development and protection system, improve the supporting policies for the main functional areas, and establish a natural reserve system with national parks as the main body. We will resolutely stop and punish acts that damage the ecological environment.
Xi Jinping stressed that the construction of ecological civilization has its merits in the present age and benefits in the future. We should firmly establish the socialist concept of ecological civilization, promote the formation of a new pattern of modernization with the harmonious development of man and nature, and make efforts of our generation to protect the ecological environment.

Research Report on the Construction Level of Provincial Capital and Sub provincial Cities in Beautiful China (2012) concept
On December 25, 2012, the "Beautiful China" evaluation team of Sichuan University released the "Beautiful China" evaluation team released the "Research Report on the Construction Level of the Provincial Capital and Sub provincial Cities of" Beautiful China "(2012). This is the second periodic research report issued by the research group after the Research Report on the Construction Level of "Beautiful China" Provinces (2012). [7]
1、 Background [3]
On November 8, 2012, the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing. In the report to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Hu Jintao clearly pointed out that "building ecological civilization is a long-term plan that concerns the well-being of the people and the future of the nation. In the face of the severe situation of tighter resource constraints, serious environmental pollution and ecosystem degradation, we must establish the concept of ecological civilization that respects nature, conforms to nature and protects nature, place the construction of ecological civilization in a prominent position, integrate it into all aspects and the whole process of economic, political, cultural and social construction, and strive to build a beautiful China, To achieve the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. " On November 15, Xi Jinping, the newly elected General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, mentioned in his speech at the meeting of the Standing Committee: "Our people love life, expect better education, more stable work, more satisfactory income, more reliable social security, higher level of medical and health services, more comfortable living conditions, more beautiful environment, and hope that children can grow up better, work better, and live better. The people's desire for a better life is our goal.
The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the concept of "beautiful China" for the first time, emphasizing the construction of "beautiful China", and putting the construction of ecological civilization in a prominent position, especially emphasizing the integration of ecological civilization in economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, and social construction. According to the spirit of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, after investigating the relevant academic background, and after widely absorbing the relevant research achievements of the academic community in recent years, the research team has made it clear that the concept of "beautiful China" is the unity of aesthetic concepts, ecological concepts, sociology and other multidisciplinary concepts, is the high unity of academic concepts and the concept of governance, and is the unity of the trend of the times, the voice of the people and collective wisdom. It has three basic points: first, highlight the construction of ecological civilization; The second is to emphasize the integration of ecological civilization construction into economic, political, cultural and social construction; Third, the goal of "a better life". Therefore, a beautiful China is the sum of the beauty of the environment, the beauty of the times, the beauty of life, the beauty of society, and the beauty of the people. It is the unity of the world's vision, the height of the country, and the feelings of the people. It is the unity of Chinese values, Chinese goals, and Chinese roads. The core of building a beautiful China is to realize the people's pursuit of a "better life" and the "Chinese Dream" of national rejuvenation through the construction of the five in one of ecology, economy, politics, culture and society in accordance with the requirements of ecological civilization. (See Figure 1: Conceptual Model of "Beautiful China")

2、 Guiding principles and indicator system design
The main purpose of the evaluation of the construction level of the provincial capital and sub provincial cities of "Beautiful China" is to objectively and scientifically evaluate the construction level of relevant cities and promote the in-depth and effective construction of "Beautiful China" in various regions according to the concept of "Five in One" comprehensive development and integrated development of ecology, economy, politics, culture and society included in "Beautiful China".
(1) Guiding principles for indicator design
The selection of measurement indicators requires not only to fully reflect the construction status of "beautiful China" in each city, but also to present the urban construction strength and potential of "beautiful China". On the basis of referring to relevant evaluation index systems and academic research achievements at home and abroad, the research team selected evaluation indicators in accordance with the guiding principles of guidance, rationality, objectivity, openness, etc.
Guiding principle. The indicator system should give full play to its guiding and leading role, encourage all regions to further enhance their awareness and capacity for scientific development, innovate systems and mechanisms, and effectively accelerate the process of scientific development. The indicator setting should be consistent with the relevant national economic and social development planning indicators such as the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Xi Jinping's speech and the Central Committee's "12th Five Year Plan" proposal, so as to enhance the policy orientation and practical significance of the indicator system.
Rationality principle. The selection of indicators is logical and fully representative and argumentative. The measurement method is based on the existing research basis of the academic community. On a solid theoretical basis, we will solicit experts' opinions in relevant fields and select indicators that fully reflect the construction level of the three basic aspects of "beautiful China".
Objectivity principle. The selection of indicators is objective, taking into account the authority and availability of statistical data, so that indicators can be collected, quantified and compared.
The principle of openness. The indicator system is dynamic and open. It is supplemented, improved and revised according to the stages of national and regional development and the differences of evaluation objects.
(2) Indicator system
According to the above guiding principles, the "Beautiful China" evaluation index system specifically includes 53 indicators in five dimensions: ecological beauty, development beauty, governance beauty, cultural beauty and harmony beauty (Figure 2), covering ecological, economic, political, cultural and social fields, reflecting the basic requirements of "Five in One" and ecological civilization integration, and promoting the construction and development of "Beautiful China" in cities, So as to finally realize the two grand goals of people's "better life" and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

1、 Ecological beauty - ecological indicators
The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) initially formed the strategic idea of building ecological civilization. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) listed "building ecological civilization" as a new requirement of the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and made a strategic deployment. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) stressed the prominent position of ecological civilization construction in the "Five in One", emphasized respecting nature, adapting to nature As the core idea of ecological civilization construction, the concept of ecological civilization to protect nature should highlight the weight of ecological indicators in the indicator system. The second level indicators of this assessment are set as ecological quality and environmental governance, and the third level indicators are set as the number of world natural heritage sites, national nature reserves, national scenic spots, 5A tourist attractions, and per capita green space [1] , green coverage rate of built-up areas, air quality excellence rate, industrial wastewater discharge compliance rate, industrial waste gas treatment rate, industrial solid waste comprehensive utilization rate, urban domestic sewage centralized treatment rate and domestic garbage harmless treatment rate [2]

2、 Beauty of development - economic indicators
The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that economic development is the key to rejuvenating the country, and development is still the key to solving all China's problems. Only by promoting sustained and healthy economic development can we build a solid material foundation for national prosperity, people's well-being, social harmony and stability, and the coordinated growth of "beauty". Based on the basic requirements of the "ecological civilization" construction concept of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and Xi Jinping's "better life" thought, economic indicators include the degree of environmental friendliness, the degree of optimization of economic structure and the performance of economic development. Among them, the degree of environmental friendliness is set as four three-level indicators: energy consumption per unit GDP, emissions of major exhaust pollutants (SO2, NO2, smoke and dust) per unit GDP, wastewater emissions per unit GDP, and industrial solid waste generation per unit GDP; The optimization degree of economic structure is set as three three-level indicators, namely, the proportion of added value of the tertiary industry in GDP, the proportion of household consumption in GDP, and the urbanization rate; The development performance is set as seven three-level indicators, namely, per capita savings deposits of urban and rural residents, per capita disposable income of urban residents, per capita net income of rural residents, growth of urban residents' disposable income over the previous year, growth of rural residents' net income over the previous year, and per capita consumption expenditure of urban residents.
