Flood of opportunities in ecological preservation

The idea of ecological civilization was first introduced during the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2007, marking a new direction in the country's social and economic development. In 2012, it became even more central when it was included in the "five-in-one" framework, placing environmental protection alongside economic, political, cultural, and social development.

The importance of the concept has continued to grow. In 2017, ecological civilization was described as a long-term goal for China's future, and, in 2018, it was written into its Constitution.

Today, it is a key concept shaping how the country approaches development.
