Let ecological civilization and mining civilization complement each other

In the field of ecological restoration in mines, the central government has arranged transfer payments to support ecological restoration with real money. Environmental restoration and improvement of abandoned mines in key areas such as the surrounding areas of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Fen-Wei Plain, the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the Yellow River Basin have been included. At the end of 2019, the Ministry of Natural Resources issued the Opinions on Exploring the Use of Market-oriented Ways to Promote Ecological Restoration in Mines, encouraging social entities to invest in ecological restoration in mines through policies such as granting natural resource assets the right to use for a certain period of time. In November 2021, The General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Encouraging and Supporting Social Capital to Participate in Ecological Protection and Restoration, including mine ecological protection and restoration in key areas, and providing policy support in planning and control, property rights incentives, and resource utilization.

For human introspection, nature is also unstinting in its reward. According to the White paper "Biodiversity Conservation in China" released in October 2021, China's forest area and forest stock have maintained "double growth" for 30 consecutive years, becoming the country with the largest increase in forest resources in the world. By establishing a scientific and rational system of protected natural areas, 90 percent of terrestrial ecosystem types and 71 percent of wildlife species under state key protection have been effectively protected.

At the same time, China's mining industry is also in the process of promoting modernization, and constantly accumulates the green power of ecological civilization, highlighting the vitality of the energy structure continues to optimize and upgrade, and the proportion of coal in primary energy consumption continues to decrease, and the proportion of coal consumption in primary energy consumption in the country from 60.4% to 56% from 2017 to 2021. The proportion of non-fossil energy consumption increased from 13.8% to 15.8%; Up to now, China has built 1,254 national-level green mines, and green has become the basic background color of mine construction. Positive results have been achieved in the comprehensive utilization of mineral resources, and the "three rates" index has initially achieved the goal of covering all kinds of minerals involved in producing mines. Successful cases of mine ecological restoration continue to emerge. With the support of ecological restoration technology and concept, abandoned mines in the past have transformed into wetland parks, ecological industrial parks, tourist attractions, etc., achieving multi-win environmental benefits, social benefits and economic benefits, and becoming beautiful tracks in the construction of ecological civilization...

The road is blocked and long, the line will be to; If we don't stop, the future is promising. On the new journey of the new era, if we want to achieve the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, we must continue to adhere to sustainable development, adhere to the policy of giving priority to conservation, protection and natural restoration, protect the natural and ecological environment like protecting the eyes, and promote the complementarities of ecological civilization and mining civilization, so that they can collide with more sparks of wisdom and practical results.

To promote ecological civilization and mining civilization complement each other and achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature, we must firmly establish and practice the concept of "clear water and green mountains are gold hills and silver mountains", complete, accurate and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept, and plan the development of the mining industry from the height of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. We will promote the building of a beautiful China, and adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sand. The concept of "two mountains" will be integrated into the whole industrial chain of geological and mineral exploration, mineral development and utilization, and ecological restoration of mines, and implemented into concrete actions, so as to coordinate industrial restructuring, pollution control, ecological protection, and climate change response, and jointly promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth.

To promote ecological civilization and mining civilization complement each other and achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature, we must continue to promote green development and accelerate the green transformation of development mode. The construction of modern mining civilization started in green mines, and will be achieved in green mines. We should take green mine construction as the starting point, accelerate the transformation of development mode, and continue to promote the green development of the whole industrial chain of the mining industry. We will improve and upgrade the industrial structure, give priority to low-carbon development in the steel, chemical, nonferrous metals, building materials and other industries, raise the efficiency of input and output, reduce the rate of energy and resources consumption, and promote clean production and green consumption. We will promote the adjustment and transformation of the energy consumption structure, control the total consumption of fossil energy, increase the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption, and focus on developing clean and renewable energy. We will accelerate structural adjustment and optimization of transport, and advocate and promote green and low-carbon transport. We will promote the innovation and application of green technologies, processes and equipment, accelerate the comprehensive utilization of resources, and promote the development of green industrialization. We will establish and improve an ecological economic system with industrial ecology and ecological industrialization as the main body, accelerate the establishment of an institutional framework for promoting green and low-carbon energy development, and form a technological system, modern industrial clusters and a modern industrial system to support green development.
