What is the relationship between environmental protection and economic development?

Creating a harmonious and pleasant new Wuxi with "pure water, green land and blue sky" is a new requirement put forward by the city's 11th Party Congress. The environmental protection department must be guided by the scientific outlook on development and prioritize environmental protection. Taking the creation of a national ecological city as the carrier, innovative environmental protection systems and mechanisms as the driving force, and improving the quality of life of the people as the purpose, we will take the lead in building Wuxi into a national ecological city with the characteristics of the times, regional characteristics, and Wuxi characteristics. Make new contributions in the "Strive for Creation" activities.

1. Implement the policy of giving priority to environmental protection and strive to achieve “three transformations”. Focusing on the overall goal of "two guarantees" of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, environmental protection is regarded as a major task in modernization construction, making environmental capacity an important basis for regional layout, environmental management becoming an important means of structural adjustment, and environmental standards becoming market access important conditions, environmental costs have become an important factor in the price formation mechanism. Further change the concept of development, innovate the development model, improve the quality of development, and strive to achieve a shift from emphasizing economic growth and neglecting environmental protection to attaching equal importance to environmental protection and economic development, from environmental protection lagging behind economic development to synchronizing environmental protection and economic development, and from mainly using administrative The method to protect the environment has been transformed into the comprehensive use of legal, economic, technical and necessary administrative measures to solve environmental problems and comprehensively improve the level of environmental protection work.

2. Accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure and promote the transformation of economic growth mode. Implement different development models of optimized development, key development, restricted development and prohibited development areas, build a development pattern of "one body, two wings" and "three edges", promote the "three concentrations" of rural areas, accelerate urban enterprises' "going out of cities and into parks", and townships The concentration of enterprises in industrial concentration areas and the elimination of the "five small enterprises". Promote the construction of circular economy pilot units, circular economy demonstration zones and ecological industrial and agricultural parks, and carry out clean production audits and ISO14000 environmental certification in accordance with the law.

3. Implement a strict environmental protection system and strive to reduce the total discharge of major pollutants. Conscientiously implement the tasks of reducing the total discharge of major pollutants issued by the country and the province, and vigorously promote the construction of environmental infrastructure in accordance with the principles of combining administrative regions and river basin pollution control, and unifying total discharge, environmental capacity, environmental quality and pollution control projects . Comprehensively promote the construction of clean energy zones. We will continue to carry out in-depth special environmental protection rectification actions, severely crack down on environmental violations, establish an environmental safety emergency system, and improve the prevention level and emergency response capabilities for environmental emergencies and environmental disasters. Strictly implement the environmental access system, and strictly implement the "three simultaneous" system for environmental impact assessment and construction projects.

Fourth, solidly promote key projects and strive to improve environmental quality. Strengthening water pollution control and ensuring drinking water safety should be the top priority. Strengthen water resources protection and water environment management, increase scientific and technological research, focus on controlling ammonia nitrogen pollution in the rivers leading to and from the Taihu Lake and the Sunan Canal, accelerate the construction of the Yangtze River water intake project and the construction of clean water and tailwater channels, effectively strengthen the monitoring of water quality in drinking water sources, and establish Drinking water source safety early warning system. Strengthen the prevention and control of air pollution, strengthen the control of urban low-altitude air pollution, speed up centralized heating and energy transformation projects, strengthen the prevention and control of dust pollution at construction sites, such as construction, demolition and municipal projects, and speed up the elimination of motor vehicles with excessive exhaust pollution. Effectively solve the problem of smoke, noise and other pollution caused by the catering, entertainment industry and construction construction that disturbs residents.

Improve the construction of comprehensive utilization of urban industrial solid waste, centralized treatment of hazardous waste and medical waste, and comprehensively implement the classified management and harmless treatment of waste. Vigorously carry out comprehensive improvement of the rural environment.
