The experts believe that to effectually achieve the goals of Beautiful China by 2035, we should take a holistic approach when setting the environmental protection goals in the 14th, 15th, and 16th Five-Year Plan periods to maintain continuity of the Beautiful China strategy. The 14th Five-Year Plan marks the first five-year plan for the Beautiful China strategy. In this period, we should integrate inheritance with innovation, and continue to maintain a strategic focus. We should understand that environmental protection work is comprehensive and requires strategic vision and holistic approach. We should optimize the whole-process management system for environmental protection, focus on key areas and key issues, design systems with hierarchical and field-specific implementation mechanisms, adopt structural adjustment and high-quality development promotion as the common thread, comprehensively advance and thoroughly integrate ecological and environmental high-level protection with high-quality economic development, strengthen coordination between ecological protection and environmental governance, accelerate the modernized construction of ecological and environmental governance system and governance capabilities, and push for the continuous improvement of ecological and environmental quality. These measures will lay the foundation for achieving fundamental ecological and environmental improvements by 2035.

President Wang Jinnan, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, expressed gratitude towards the participating experts and indicated that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, we must continue to maintain a strategic focus and take a holistic approach to the design of the 14th Five-Year Plan target metrics and key tasks to advance pollution prevention and control to a higher level. We should take a comprehensive approach to the design of implementation mechanism for the environmental protection in the 14th Five-Year Plan period based on institutional reform and functional adjustment. Wang furthermore expressed that CAEP would continue to operate by an “open-door policy”, holding series of meetings to solicit suggestions and advice concerning environmental protection in the 14th Five-Year Plan period from non-government organizations—including roundtables and media consultation seminars—to provide technical support for plan research and preparation.
