On the afternoon of March 3, the first "ministerial channel" of the national "two sessions" opened as promised. Ecological environment minister li ganjie said in an interview with reporters, after the new ecological environment to form a implements "five through", in the promoting functions of related institutions, personnel integration optimization at the same time, strive to promote specific business work, fusion efficiency as soon as possible, better to achieve the target of the reform, there are both a physical change and chemical change, Basically achieved the same inside and outside, the form is consistent.

Minister Li Ganjie mentioned the "five connections", which is actually the core content of the new Ministry of Ecology and Environment. Previously, scattered in multiple departments of environmental protection, the ministry of land and resources is responsible for the prevention and control of groundwater pollution, and set the outlet of water function regionalization, management, river basin water environment protection responsibility is relegated to the water conservancy department, Marine environmental regulation belongs to Marine department, agricultural non-point source pollution management duties by the ministry of agriculture is responsible for the guidance, carbon emissions regulatory functions under the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), This KIND "Kowloon WATER CONTROL" THE SITUATION LOOKS LINEUP IS STRONG, DISPERSED HOWEVER MANAGEMENT FORCE, THE EFFECT IS NOT GOOD.

The "five breaks" are the breaks between above and below ground, shore and water, land and sea, urban and rural, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. To put it simply, the purpose of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment is to consolidate the regulatory functions scattered across the National Development and Reform Commission, land, agriculture, Marine affairs, water conservancy and other departments. According to Li Ganjie, after a year's time, the original pattern of multi-headed management has been changed, and the regulatory power is being reshaped. A powerful tool like environmental inspectors is stirring up round after round of "environmental storm".

After completing the reorganization and reform of the functions and powers of the departments, the new organization will have three main objectives: improving ecological and environmental quality, reducing the total amount of major pollutants, and managing and controlling environmental risks. At the same time, the prevention and control of air, water and soil pollution will be highlighted. The "air, water and soil" regulations issued in the past few years require further action plans. In addition, we should actively promote the adoption of a green mode of development and way of life, strengthen the protection and restoration of ecosystems, and accelerate the modernization of the system and capacity for ecological and environmental governance.

The ecological environment is a system, and pollution does not favor one over the other. In line with this, the ecological environment protection and governance mechanism should also be a system. Although within a new ecological environment there are still such as atmospheric environment, water ecological environment, Marine ecological environment, soil ecological environment and the division of solid waste and chemical deals with department, but because these "subsystem" belonging to a common system, when the work can be done integration synergy, efficiency is higher than the original bull condominium is conceivable.

For example, Li Ganjie said that the ecological environment protection of oceans, rivers and lakes has a common feature: the problem lies in the sea, in the water, but the root lies on the land and on the shore. Prescription and medicine must reach the root before the disease can be cured. Completed the comprehensive control on the bohai sea and the protection and restoration of the Yangtze river in the battle, the relevant departments in accordance with the plan as a whole, the land and sea to the sea on land, water and land as a whole, with the principle of water on the shore, the screening and treatment in the outlet of priority to push, "survey, measurement and back," the four intense efforts to promote, has achieved good results. Without this institutional reform, as in the past, environmental protection does not go into the water, do not go into the sea, the sea does not land, water resources do not go ashore, the pain point is not solved, because the relevant work is scattered in various departments, "investigation, measurement, traceability, governance" to see real results, I am afraid it is very difficult.

Change is happening in the public too. On January 18, China Weather Website released the "2018 Blue Sky Puzzle", in which photographers from 15 cities, including Beijing, Zhengzhou, Shenyang and Chongqing, recorded the level of local sky appearance throughout the year. According to statistics, the proportion of blue sky in Beijing in 2018 was the highest in the past four years, with an increase of 3 percent over 2017. The blue sky puzzle is even bluer. In addition, cities such as Chongqing, Zhengzhou, Shenyang and Nanjing also saw more blue skies than in 2017. These visible changes are the result of improved governance.

Blue sky and white clouds, clear water and green shore, birds and flowers, refreshing the beautiful environment should not be extravagant hope. Only by establishing a systematic thinking, rationalizing regulatory functions, conforming to scientific laws, and strengthening law enforcement can we truly win the battle of blue sky protection and clear water protection, and truly build ecological civilization.
