Promote and Apply the Concept that Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains Are Invaluable Assets

Promote and Apply the Concept that Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains Are Invaluable Assets*

August 14, 2023

Building an eco-civilization is a fundamental policy that bears on the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. It is a major political issue that relates to the Party’s mission and purpose, and a key social issue that impacts the people’s wellbeing. On the new journey towards our country’s socialist modernization, we should resolve to promote eco-environmental progress, and synergize high-quality development with high-standard environmental protection. Pursuing the goals of peak carbon and carbon neutrality, we should shift from dual control over the volume and intensity of energy use to dual control over the volume and intensity of carbon emissions. To this end, we should promote a green and low-carbon transition in our work and life, accelerate modernization underpinned by harmony between humanity and nature, and advance the Beautiful China initiative across the board. I hope our whole society acts now to promote and apply the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. Through solid and sustained efforts, we will make a greater contribution to building a clean and beautiful world.
