China is gearing up to establish a state-of-the-art ecological environment monitoring system by 2035 as part of its visionary \"Beautiful China\" initiative. Announced by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) in Beijing on Friday, this plan underscores China's commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
Building \"Beautiful China\"
The initiative centers around three key monitoring indicators designed to evaluate the progress of \"Beautiful China\": a healthy ecosystem, a beautiful environment, and green and low-carbon development. These indicators will serve as benchmarks to ensure that China's environmental goals are met comprehensively.
Jiang Huohua, director of the Department of Ecological and Environmental Monitoring under the MEE, elaborated on the indicators. \"A healthy ecosystem means richer biodiversity and a more stable, sustainable environment. A beautiful environment focuses on bluer skies, clearer waters, and greener landscapes. Green and low-carbon development emphasizes adopting green lifestyles and sustainable production methods,\" he explained.
Jiang emphasized the role of data in achieving these goals, stating, \"The monitoring data will tell you how a beautiful China is achieved.\" This data-driven approach will enable precise tracking of environmental improvements and the effectiveness of green initiatives.
By 2035, China aims to integrate advanced technologies and innovative strategies into its ecological monitoring efforts. This will not only enhance the quality of life for its residents but also contribute to global environmental sustainability.
As the world faces increasing environmental challenges, China's proactive measures in establishing a comprehensive ecological monitoring system highlight its role as a leader in the fight for a sustainable future.
