With green energy already leading the way, province looks to further curb pollution and better allocate resources

Editor's note: This year, the Communist Party of China is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding. China Daily is publishing a series of stories looking at the tremendous changes that have occurred in provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities under the leadership of the Party. They also include stories of the people and places that have left indelible marks in the Party's path to glory.

Yunnan province will strive to develop its ecological civilization construction during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25) with the goal to build an ecological brand of "Animal Kingdom, Plant Kingdom and World Garden".

Following the philosophy expounded by President Xi Jinping that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", Yunnan will optimize the development pattern of land and space and look to achieve remarkable results on the green transformation of its manufacturing and the lifestyle of its residents.
