On February 19, President Xi Jinping presided over the fourth meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform and emphasized that promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development is the fundamental strategy for solving resource, environmental and ecological problems. We must adhere to comprehensive transformation, coordinated transformation, innovative transformation, and safe transformation, take the "dual carbon" work as the guide, coordinately promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and integrate the concept of green development into all aspects of the entire process of economic and social development.

Green is the background color of a better life and a necessary condition for sustainable development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has incorporated the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and China's ecological civilization construction has undergone historic, turning point, and overall changes. The "Comparative Study Report on Green Lifestyles of Chinese and Foreign Publics" released in 2023 shows that nearly 80% of Chinese respondents can "turn off unused electrical appliances and lights in time" or "turn off the faucet when brushing teeth or applying soap" in most cases, and more than 60% of respondents will "set the air conditioning temperature to no less than 26¡æ in summer" in most cases... In today's China, more and more people are "going green" with practical actions, actively practicing simple, moderate, green, low-carbon, civilized and healthy lifestyles and consumption methods, and establishing an ecological consciousness in the whole society to "protect the ecological environment like protecting your eyes, and treat the ecological environment like treating your life". On the new journey, to promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, we must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping's thoughts on ecological civilization, continue to practice the concept of green development, consciously shoulder the political responsibility of ecological and environmental protection, and effectively put the acceleration of the green transformation of development methods in a more prominent position, and promote ecological priority, conservation and intensive, green and low-carbon development.

Keep a close eye on development trends and accelerate the green transformation of industries. Green and low-carbon development is the direction of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation in the current era. The green economy has become the commanding heights of global industrial competition. Promoting green and low-carbon development is the international trend and the general trend. In recent years, China's energy greening development has accelerated, and the coordinated development of green transformation and economic growth has continued to show results. The latest data shows that by 2023, 5,095 green factories will be built at the national level, and the output value will account for more than 17% of the total output value of the manufacturing industry. The total output value of the environmental protection equipment manufacturing industry is expected to exceed 970 billion yuan. A total of 78 steel companies have completed the full-process ultra-low emission transformation of 390 million tons of crude steel production capacity. New energy vehicles have increased by 30.3% over the previous year, and the production and sales volume are both the world's first... Green production methods are accelerating. Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality not only puts forward urgent requirements for industrial structure adjustment, but also provides strategic opportunities for industrial structure optimization and upgrading. We must adhere to the orientation of economic green transformation and development, continue to enhance the coordination of industrial policies, effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, promote the green development of industries from policies, factors, technologies, markets and other aspects, increase the proportion of green and low-carbon industries in the total economy, build a complete green manufacturing system and service system, and accelerate the formation of industrial development advantages.

Practice green concepts and continuously improve policies, regulations and systems. Without rules, there can be no square or circle. In recent years, China has successively issued laws, regulations and policies on green transformation and development. Compared with the past, there has been significant development in guiding ideology, legislative technology and implementation mechanism, with a significant increase in number and further expansion of the scope of application, providing important institutional guarantees for the green transformation of economic and social development. In the past year, a series of systems such as "Notice on Strengthening the Standardized Implementation and Supervision and Management of National Space Ecological Restoration Projects", "Notice on Carrying out the "Double Random and One Public" Supervision and Inspection of Mine Geological Environment Protection and Land Reclamation in 2023", "Notice on Standardizing the Acceptance of Reclamation and Restoration of Existing Mining Land", and "Guidelines for Supervision of Marine Ecological Protection and Restoration Projects (Trial)" have been successively issued, and the pace of improving the ecological restoration management system has been accelerating. The surging momentum of green development is inseparable from policy support. We must adhere to the requirements of the green development concept, strengthen the protection of green technology intellectual property rights, conduct in-depth research on relevant laws, regulations, policies and systems, form a refined ecological environment legal normative system, promote more effective transformation of ecological environment scientific and technological achievements, and create a better legal environment for promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.

Strengthen scientific and technological innovation and promote the research and development and application of green technologies. Scientific and technological innovation is the key to achieving green, low-carbon and high-quality development. In 2023, China's new model for marine plastic waste management, "Blue Cycle", stood out from 2,500 applications worldwide and won the United Nations' highest honor in the field of environmental protection, the "Earth Guardian Award". The project benefits from the support of cutting-edge technology and is the result of innovative thinking. It not only helps to reduce the environmental impact of plastic products, but also achieves a "win-win" situation of environmental protection and enriching the people, setting an example for local governments and enterprises that are committed to managing plastic pollution. Green development is a profound change. We must break the "path dependence" on traditional economic development methods and continuously explore new paths for the research and development and application of green technologies. Facing the future, we must adhere to the path of scientific and technological innovation, focus on green and low-carbon technology research, concentrate resources on conquering key core technologies, accelerate the research and development and promotion of advanced and applicable projects, and continuously improve the overall efficiency of the innovation chain; we must continue to strengthen green innovation entities, integrate technological innovation factor resources, and strive to cultivate a group of green technology leading enterprises, green and low-carbon technology enterprises, and "small giant" enterprises specializing in green technology innovation, fully stimulate the vitality of various innovation entities, and strive to form a new situation of green development with multi-energy complementarity, local conditions, and diversified integration.
