The Reform of the Ecological Zoning Control System were Released

    On August 15, 2024, the main event of National Ecology Day was held in Sanming, Fujian Province. At the scene of the National Ecological Day, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment released the results of the reform and innovation of the ecological environment zoning control system.

    The results show that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has so far promoted the establishment of an ecological environment zoning control system marked by "two, three, one". The "two" is the "two-level program", which refers to the formulation of ecological environment zoning control programs at the provincial and municipal levels. By the end of 2021, all 31 provincial-level provinces and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, as well as 333 prefectural-level administrative districts, had issued ecological environment zoning control programs. "Three" is "three types of units", including priority protection, key control and general control of three types of units; the country has designated 44,604 ecological environment control units, basically realizing the whole area coverage. Among them, priority protection units account for 54.4% of the national territory, key control units account for 14.1% of the national territory, and general control units account for 31.5% of the national territory. "One" is "one list", and for each ecological environment control unit, a differentiated access list of "one unit, one strategy" is compiled.

    The results show that, since the release and implementation of the provincial and municipal ecological environment zoning control program, localities have been actively taking action to promote the relevant results in policy formulation, environmental access, park management, law enforcement and supervision, etc., to serve the major national strategies, support comprehensive decision-making, accelerate the promotion of economic and social development and comprehensive green transformation, demonstrating the strong vitality of the ecological environment zoning control system.

    Guo Fang, member of the party group and vice minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, attended the National Ecology Day and made a speech on the release of the reform and innovation results of the ecological environment zoning control system.

Liu Guozhong, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech.

    Liu Guozhong mentioned that the new era of ecological civilization construction has undergone historic, turning and overall changes. This year's August 15 is also the first national ecological day after the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese Modernization mentions "deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system".

    Liu Guozhong said that we should synergistically promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth, and build the ecological foundation of Chinese-style modernization. "We should improve the ecological civilization foundation system, comprehensively promote green low-carbon development, implement a comprehensive conservation strategy, continuously strengthen ecological environmental protection and governance, vigorously cultivate and promote ecological culture, and actively and steadily promote carbon peak carbon neutral."

    According to the planning of the relevant state departments, carbon dioxide emissions per unit of industrial added value in 2025 should strive to reduce by 40% compared with 2015, and the relevant departments, through the strengthening of policy support, encourage the implementation of green transformation of key industries such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, chemical industry, etc., and improve the efficiency of energy utilization.

    China's energy-saving market potential far exceeds that of other countries. Motor is the main energy-consuming equipment, energy-efficient motors in industrial boilers, iron and steel, petrochemicals, coal chemicals and other key industries, as well as wind power and other clean energy applications in the field of broad prospects. With the continued promotion of a series of favorable policies and motor energy efficiency limit value, China's energy efficient motor market demand will be further released.
