The the Pearl River breeze is gentle, and Guangzhou citizens set up tents on the riverside lawn for leisure; By the Xianglu Bay in Zhuhai, children step on the beach and get close to the ocean; In the Zhanjiang Mangrove National Nature Reserve, migratory birds inhabit and search for food, alternately chirping and playing the music of life... This is the ecological beauty and green beauty of Guangdong today. Guangdong faces the South China Sea and backs on the Nanling Mountain Mountains. Rivers are flowing and water networks are densely distributed. Vegetation is luxuriant and biodiversity is diverse. We firmly establish and practice the concept that green waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. Guangdong has placed the construction of ecological civilization in a prominent position in its overall work, solidly promoting it, and continuously improving the quality of the ecological environment. Green has increasingly become a bright background and surging driving force for high-quality development. We are accelerating the construction of a modern Guangdong model of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Replacing the "new face" with "deep tackling" in southern Guangdong, the sky is bluer, the water is clearer, the mountains are greener, and in the Pearl River Delta, the Maozhou River, which was once avoided by citizens, has already taken on a new look. Nowadays, ecological wetland parks have been built one after another in the basin, and the green road extends along the river. This has become an ecological home park for pleasant people to live in. In eastern Guangdong, the Lianjiang River passes through the city, and the once black and smelly river has now become a "water friendly river" for residents. This year's Dragon Boat Festival, the Lianjiang River once again ushered in the dragon boat race, with the wide and clean water surface becoming the most beautiful ferry venue. The changes in Guangdong's two most polluted rivers, from black and odorous to water quality standards, to the current water green and beautiful coastline, reflect the vivid practice of Guangdong's continuous protection of the ecological environment and deepening the battle for pollution prevention and control. Guangdong's economy and society are developing rapidly, but it is also facing a situation where resource and environmental constraints are tightening and new and old ecological and environmental issues are intertwined. Development has reached a fork in the road that requires transformation. Guangdong resolutely faces ecological and environmental issues, continues to make up for ecological debts, and supports high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment. In response to the prominent water pollution problem, Guangdong has taken responsibility for water control layer by layer, and has condensed the province's water control forces through the system of river and lake leaders; Establish a "basin+region" cross city governance cooperation mechanism to solve the governance challenges of the left and right banks, upstream and downstream, and main and tributaries. Guangdong has also explored strategies such as comprehensive basin improvement and "big army" operations, and has made up for various shortcomings in pollution control facilities beyond conventional methods, driving environmental improvement through major pollution control projects. With the elimination of large-scale pollution, Guangdong continues to use "embroidery techniques" to tap its potential. This year, the province has focused on accelerating the filling of the shortcomings in sewage collection capacity in various regions, and the centralized collection rate of domestic sewage in cities at or above the prefecture level has increased from 67.2% in 2020 to 77.9% in the first half of 2023. In rural areas, domestic sewage treatment has been incorporated into the province's livelihood practice for three consecutive years, and the trend of "sewage relying on evaporation" is shifting towards "clean water surrounding households"; In cities, rivers are gradually improving, and the black and odorous water bodies that once troubled the masses are constantly being eliminated. Green water reflects blue sky, and "Guangdong blue" is already the norm. In response to air pollution, Guangdong has increased its efforts in collaborative prevention and control of ozone pollution in recent years, targeted treatment of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) emissions in key industries, regulation of mobile sources such as diesel vehicles, and rectification of the refined oil industry, in order to reduce emissions from the source. The blue sky shrouds the green space, guarding the pure land below. In recent years, Guangdong has adhered to controlling soil pollution from the source and accelerated the construction of a "waste free city", exploring effective models for solid waste source reduction, resource utilization, and safe disposal.
