In the past month, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has successively initiated a series of special actions such as the “viewing back” of the central environmental protection supervision, the governance of urban black-and-odor bodies, and the special treatment of water sources. At the same time, with the normalization of environmental protection supervision and the establishment and improvement of system systems at all levels, law enforcement supervision methods in the field of environmental protection are becoming three-dimensional and diversified.

Industry insiders pointed out that the favorable policy effect and strong law enforcement supervision have created a more healthy and stable market environment for the environmental protection industry. In the future, investment demand in the environmental protection industry is expected to accelerate its release, and overall investment in pollution prevention and control will continue to increase.

Multiple special actions are performed simultaneously

On June 4th, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment focused on interviewing the chief persons in charge of 3 cities (counties) such as Shizhu in Chongqing. The interview pointed out that the recent special inspections by the Ministry of the Environment have found that the three cities (counties) are facing problems such as the lack of rectification of the environmental problems discovered by the supervision, and the destruction of the nature reserves.

In mid-May of this year, Minister of Ecology and Environment Li Ganjie stated that the Ministry of the Environment has to fight several major landmark campaigns for pollution prevention and control.

The reporter learned that these key battles have been summarized by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment as a “7+4” special enforcement action. Namely: to win the battle to defend against the blue sky, to fight well the seven major battles such as pollution control of diesel vehicles, urban black and odor bodies, comprehensive management of the Bohai Sea, protection and restoration of the Yangtze River, water source protection, and agricultural and rural pollution control; and restrictions on imported solid waste Processing and utilization of corporate environmental illegal activities, waste incineration power generation industry standards discharge, "Green Shield Action" nature reserve supervision and inspection, combating the illegal transfer and dumping of solid wastes and hazardous wastes and other four special actions.

Among them, in the “water source protection”, one of the key battles, the Ministry of Environment announced on June 4th the sixth batch of environmental violations discovered during the “Special Supervision on Water Sources”. On May 20th this year, 273 inspection teams from across the country launched the first round of environmental protection special inspections on centralized drinking water sources nationwide. The special campaign lasted until June 2, and the inspection teams had completed on-site inspections of the list of 4,481 water resources sites submitted by 212 prefecture-level cities.

In addition to the above-mentioned special actions, on May 7th this year, the Ministry of Environment also launched a special environmental protection campaign for urban black stinky water remediation in 2018, and 10 groups conducted supervision work in 20 cities including 8 cities including Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan.

The Promote the development of environmental protection industry

In fact, since the formal introduction of the environmental tax in 2018, along with the normalization of environmental supervision actions, as well as various systems and related pollution control measures from the Ministry of the Environment to the local provinces and cities have been introduced, the law enforcement supervision means in the field of environmental protection It has become three-dimensional and diversified.

In mid-May of this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment stated that since the 18th National Congress, the reform in the field of ecological and environmental protection has been comprehensively deepened. Up to now, the Central Leading Group for Deepening All-round Reform has deliberated and approved more than 40 eco-civilization and concrete programs for ecological and environmental protection. It has initially established an institutional system of “four beams and eight pillars” and achieved central environmental protection inspections in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). cover. At the same time, we will carry out pilot reforms such as the vertical monitoring system for monitoring and supervision of environmental protection agencies under the province, and the compensation system for ecological damage to the environment. We have basically completed the issuance of elevated source discharge permits for iron and steel, cement, etc. in 15 industries including thermal power generation and papermaking, and “2+26” cities in Beijing, Tianjin, and surrounding areas.

“Environmental protection policies continue to catalyze, and inspections in the industrial sector continue, setting a safety margin for the industry.” Analysts such as the Everbright Securities Institute Public Utilities and the Environmental Protection Industry Yin Zhongshu believe that “the importance of environmental protection factors in the future will also be It will be further demonstrated that, following the effective promotion of supply-side reform, it will also provide an important impetus for current pollution prevention and future industrial upgrading."

In view of China's current investment in pollution prevention, Wang Jinnan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that in recent years, China's environmental governance investment has accounted for about 1.7% to 2.0% of GDP. Nationwide, there is a large regional difference in this value, and some areas with lagging economic development are particularly weak. "To achieve the goal of fully building a well-to-do society by 2020, we need to further increase investment, especially in some areas where environmental pollution is heavy and there are many historical debts."
