Respecting, Accommodating and Protecting Nature

Protecting the eco-environment is a major political issue related to the mission and purpose of the CPC as it is a major social issue impacting people's wellbeing. At its 18th National Congress, the CPC called on the people to respect, accommodate and protect nature.

Respecting nature is a sound attitude to adopt. Humanity must revere nature and be grateful to nature, respect nature and its capacity for revival and circulation, instead of attempting to dominate nature.

Accommodating nature is a basic principle to observe. Humanity must follow the ways of nature and the objective laws governing economic and social development.

Protecting nature is a responsibility to take. When taking what we need for survival, we should cherish and repay nature, and protect ecosystems.

尊重自然、顺应自然、保护自然的生态文明理念

生态环境是关系党的使命宗旨的重大政治问题,也是关系民生的重大社会问题。中共十八大提出树立尊重自然、顺应自然、保护自然的生态文明理念。

尊重自然,是人与自然相处时应秉持的科学态度,即人对自然应怀有敬畏之心、感恩之心,尊重自然界的存在、再生和循环能力,而绝不能凌驾其上。顺应自然,是人与自然相处时应遵循的基本原则,即人要顺应自然的客观规律,按照客观规律推动经济社会发展。保护自然,是人与自然相处时应承担的重要责任,即人向自然界索取生存发展之需时,应主动呵护自然、回报自然,保护生态系统。
