On May 9, the Seventh Central Supervision Group for Ecological and Environmental Protection entered Yunnan Province, and the third round of the second batch of seven supervision groups completed the supervision of all seven provinces and cities. What are the new trends and characteristics of this batch of inspectors? On the 11th, the reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of the Central Bureau of Ecological Environmental Protection Supervision and Coordination.

Highlight: the protection of the Yangtze River has become the focus of supervision

The relevant person in charge of the Central Bureau of Ecological and Environmental Protection Supervision and Coordination said that the focus of this batch of inspectors is to focus on the protection of the Yangtze River. The seven provinces and cities under supervision this time are Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, and Yunnan, all of which belong to the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and are located in the provinces in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Since the implementation of the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt for more than eight years, significant achievements have been made in the protection and restoration of the ecological environment, and the beautiful scenery of "one river flowing eastward" reappears. In 2023, the proportion of excellent water quality sections in the Yangtze River Economic Belt will reach 95.6%, up 1.1 percentage points year on year, and the water quality in the main stream will maintain Class II for four consecutive years.

The ecological environment protection and high-quality development of the Yangtze River basin are in a critical period from quantitative change to qualitative change. The achievements are not yet stable, and objectively there are still many difficulties and problems, which need to continue to be solved.

The symposium on further promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt held in October 2023 clearly proposed that, in the long run, promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt fundamentally depends on the high-quality ecological environment of the Yangtze River basin. We should unswervingly adhere to the principle of joint protection and development, and make greater efforts in high-level protection.

The person in charge said that we planned to carry out river basin supervision and provincial supervision, aiming to promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to make new progress, promote the green and low-carbon transformation of economic and social development, promote the obvious improvement of ecological environment quality, and make remarkable achievements in building a beautiful China.

Deepening of work: overall carrying out river basin supervision and provincial supervision

Since then, it has been a major innovation for the central supervision of ecological environment protection to "focus on" provinces for supervision, and to carry out basin supervision and provincial supervision as a whole.

The person in charge introduced that this batch of supervision work has two main characteristics: on the one hand, it focuses on the overall issues of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, such as policy convergence, regional coordination, mechanism construction, as well as the shortcomings of environmental infrastructure, ecological damage, agricultural non-point source pollution, air pollution prevention, illegal disposal of solid waste, especially construction waste, and "three phosphorus" Pollution and other common problems. On the other hand, we should focus on combining the economic and social development, natural resource endowment, and ecological security positioning of each province and city to identify the outstanding problems of each province and city.

The person in charge said that it is necessary to make an overall plan for river basin supervision and provincial supervision as an important measure to implement Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought and the spirit of important instructions and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and promote provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt to implement the Yangtze River conservation strategy, form a unity of mind in thinking and understanding, and form a chess game in practical action.

Secondly, we should take it as a strong support to promote the in-depth implementation of major regional strategies. We will work together to promote high-quality economic development and high-level protection of the ecological environment, accelerate the coordinated and coordinated optimization of the regional industrial structure, promote provinces and cities to develop new quality productivity according to local conditions, and strive to build the Yangtze River Economic Belt into a golden economic belt with more beautiful ecology, smoother transportation, more coordinated economy, more unified market, and more scientific mechanism.

Third, we should take it as a vivid practice to promote the construction of the pilot area of beautiful China. Highlight the regional and overall cooperation of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, build a green development highland, and build a green development demonstration belt where people and nature coexist harmoniously. At the same time, we will focus on promoting provinces and cities to base themselves on regional functional positioning, give play to their own characteristics, and write a chapter of building a beautiful China in the province.

In addition, from the perspective of supervision work, we should take it as a major innovation to adhere to the system concept and further promote the central supervision of ecological environment protection, better coordinate economic and social development, livelihood security and ecological environment protection, pay more attention to the organic combination of "points, lines and areas" of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, highlight policy formulation and regional coordination, further deepen the field of supervision and expand the scope of supervision.

Clear guidance: promote collaborative protection of mother river

The relationship and contradictions that need to be coordinated in the protection of the Yangtze River are complex.

The person in charge said: "The inspectors should proceed from the integrity of the ecosystem and the basin system of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and promote the coordinated governance of the upper, middle and lower reaches, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, left and right banks, trunk and tributaries."

According to the introduction, from the perspective of concept, the inspectors will pay more attention to the coordinated management of river basins and provinces. Adhere to the overall planning, and include the ecological civilization construction and ecological environment protection in the major regional strategies into the scope of supervision. We should not only focus on solving the common problems in all provinces and cities of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, but also coordinate with relevant national departments to further improve relevant policies and regulations.

From the perspective of ways and means, the inspectors will pay more attention to finding problems from the macro and meso level. He said that, from the perspective of the whole basin supervision, the inspection teams will focus on the problems and shortcomings of "upstream, midstream and downstream uncoordinated" in mechanism implementation, system implementation and other aspects, and strive to find the integrity, universality and key issues of the Yangtze River Economic Belt at a higher level, wider scope and deeper level.

The person in charge said that it is necessary to better establish and use the mechanism of multi region and multi department linkage in the upstream, midstream and downstream through supervision, promote the combination of overall long-term planning, systematic planning and comprehensive management in all regions, so as to see both "trees" and "forests", and drive the overall improvement through the key breakthroughs of the Bureau, Support high-quality development with high-quality ecological environment.
