Speech at the work conference on clearing and revitalizing the non-performing loans of rural credit cooperatives Dear leaders and colleagues:

In-depth study and implementation of the spirit of the xx major and the comprehensive construction of a well-off society throughout the province Under the new situation, the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau timely convened the "Seminar on Achieving Leap-Leap Development in Environmental Protection", which will surely effectively promote the province's environmental protection work in the future, achieve breakthrough improvements in environmental quality, and will greatly promote our province's realization of sustainable development. Continuous development. In order to comprehensively build a well-off society and create a new situation in our province's environmental protection work, we must carefully study the new characteristics of environmental protection work under the new situation, strengthen our understanding of the long-term, arduous, and complex nature of environmental protection work, seize opportunities, pioneer and innovate, and in accordance with the "Development must have new ideas, reform must have new breakthroughs, opening up must have a new situation, and all work must have new measures", continue to carry out theoretical innovation, institutional innovation, institutional innovation and mechanism innovation, and actively promote the new government We will intensify the implementation of the basic national policy of environmental protection, strengthen the environmental protection target responsibility system, lay the foundation for completing the three major tasks of environmental protection work in the "10th Five-Year Plan", and seek faster and better development of environmental protection work. Here, I would like to make a very immature speech on this issue and talk about some personal views. The purpose is to use my speech to enlighten everyone, so that our understanding will be more unified and our thinking will be more unified. Clarity makes our work more forward-looking. Next, I will talk about three points:

1. New characteristics of environmental protection work under the new situation

For many years, especially since the “Ninth Five-Year Plan”, under the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government Under the situation, with the unremitting efforts of cadres and workers in the province's environmental protection system, our province has intensified structural adjustment, strictly investigated environmental violations, promoted industrial enterprises to meet standards, and paid close attention to comprehensive improvement of the urban environment. The environmental quality of some key areas and river basins has been significantly improved. , ecological construction and environmental protection have made great progress, and the province's economic development has gradually entered a virtuous cycle. However, we still need to be clearly aware that the structural pollution problem that has long affected the sustainable development of our province has not been fundamentally solved. The total amount of pollutant emissions far exceeds the environmental carrying capacity. Environmental pollution is serious, and the trend of ecological destruction has not been resolved. Effective containment. The environmental situation in our province is still severe, and there are still many difficulties and problems in environmental protection work. At the same time, under the new situation, new environmental problems continue to emerge, and traditional environmental management measures will face new challenges.

First of all, the contradiction between the speed of economic development and the requirements of environmental protection work has become increasingly prominent. During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, our country will continue to take development as the theme, industrial structure adjustment as the main line, scientific and technological progress and reform and opening up as the driving force, and maintain sustained, healthy and rapid economic and social development. Under the new situation of our implementation of the three-step strategic plan, in order to achieve the ambitious goal of quadrupling the gross national product, the national economy will enter a new period of rapid growth, and economic development will put increasing pressure on environmental resources. The XX National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. The intensity of economic development in our province will continue to increase, which will inevitably increase environmental pressure at the same time, and environmental protection work will face greater challenges. On the other hand, the implementation of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" for environmental protection has also reached a critical stage. It is very arduous to complete the three major tasks of environmental protection during the "Tenth Five-Year Plan", especially to achieve the goal of reducing the total national pollutant emissions by % compared with XX. . The contradiction between the speed of economic development and the requirements of environmental protection work has become increasingly prominent. There is no doubt that development is the key to solving all problems, and development is inseparable from the rational development and effective use of resources. However, in some places, especially in economically backward areas like our province, there are still erroneous views such as "pollution first, then treatment", "first development, then protection", and even the belief that the implementation of sustainable development will slow down economic growth. . From the perspective of short-term goals, sacrificing resources and the environment seems to promote economic growth, but from the perspective of long-term goals, the destruction of resources and environment will definitely restrict economic growth. Achieving sustainable development requires coordinated development between the economy, society, and resources and the environment. We must adhere to the principle of "who develops and protects, who destroys and restores, and who uses and pays." We must integrate resource protection into rational development and adhere to the principle of improving resources. Take advantage of efficiency and develop a resource-saving economy. For a long time, the idea of ??simply reducing development to the pure pursuit of economic growth has led to short-term actions in the sustainable development strategy that are eager for quick success and quick success, causing many regions to pay a heavy price and harming the overall and long-term interests of the Chinese nation. .

It can be expected that for a long time, party committees and governments at all levels will continue to focus on traditional industries, increase the intensity of resource development, and further increase environmental pressure in order to achieve the goal of "quadrupling" economic development. For example, there is currently a tendency for industrial reversion in the structural adjustment of our province. Driven by short-term interests, signs of industrial reversion characterized by low-level investment expansion in resource industries such as coal and coke have appeared in some places. For example, coke production capacity has expanded disorderly, and the state has The financing construction of ordinary steel is expressly restricted, and "low-level duplicative construction in the five oblique areas is showing signs of rising again. The low-level and large-scale disorderly expansion of traditional industries has led to more serious air and water pollution in local areas and even the entire province. The potential pressure of environmental pollution still exists. Due to xxx's rich coal, electricity and aluminum resources, industrial development is locked in extending the coal, electricity and aluminum industry chain. Within a few days, the city's electrolytic aluminum will increase to 10,000 tons, and the generator assembly machine will The capacity will increase by 10,000 kW to reach 10,000 kW. In addition, there are projects such as 10,000 tons of alumina and 10,000 tons of coking projects. Coupled with the blind expansion of magnesium metal companies, the pressure on the environment is self-evident. With the environmental capacity and increasing pollution emissions, it is conceivable that it will be difficult to reduce SO emissions by another 10%. Although taking the path of civilized development and achieving sustainable development is an important part of modern civilization, governments at all levels have to do it for the sake of the economy. Development goals do not care about the serious environmental situation, let alone the economic authorities.
