On July 4, the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment held a 2022 training class for directors of ecology and environment bureaus at the city and county levels throughout the province, to further mobilize and deploy efforts in the in-depth study of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought and the implementation of the spirit of the 13th Provincial Party Congress. Xu Xiaoxia, Party Secretary of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a mobilization speech.

Xu Xiaoxia emphasized that resolutely implementing Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought is a political principle and rule that must always be adhered to, and is the source of confidence, foundation, and strength for forging ahead on a new journey and promoting the creation of new glories in Guangdong's ecological and environmental protection. The 13th Provincial Party Congress made important deployments for the in-depth study and implementation of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought and the promotion of Guangdong's ecological civilization construction in the new era, fully reflecting the consistent high importance attached by the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government to ecological civilization construction, and pointing out the direction for further improving ecological and environmental protection work. Ecology and environment departments throughout the province must effectively unify their thoughts and actions with the spirit of the Provincial Party Congress, and demonstrate new responsibilities and achievements on the new journey of in-depth study and implementation of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought and the efforts to build Guangdong as a model for a beautiful China.

First, Deeply understand the rich connotations of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, and consciously use Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought to arm the mind, guide practice, and promote work. We must deeply grasp the development process and core essence of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, as well as the vivid practice of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought in Guangdong. We must deeply understand that Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought is the fundamental principle for carrying out ecological and environmental protection work, the "compass" and "polestar" for maintaining strategic composure in the face of risks and challenges, and also the methodology and tool book for guiding specific work and resolving doubts. We must persist in being a model learner, firm believer, and active disseminator of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought.

Second, Unwaveringly implement the deployments and requirements of the 13th Provincial Party Congress, and make every effort to build Guangdong as a model for a beautiful China. Actively serve the overall situation of economic and social development, resolutely complete hard indicators and tasks, make every effort to make up for shortcomings and strengthen weaknesses, solidly advance the rectification work of the central ecological and environmental protection inspection, firmly uphold the bottom line of ecological and environmental safety, promote high-quality development with high-level protection, create a high-quality life, and strive to build a beautiful Guangdong where humans and nature coexist harmoniously.

Third, Strengthen the overall leadership of the Party and Party building, and make every effort to forge a strong iron army of ecological and environmental protection. Raise the political standing, always put the Party's political construction in the first place, promote the deep integration of Party building work and business work, use Party building to guide the direction of business, and use business to demonstrate the effectiveness of Party building. Deeply understand the spirit of the ecological and environmental vertical reform, give full play to the effectiveness of the vertical reform, and make every effort to do a good job in the "second half" of the vertical reform. Make great efforts to improve team building, continuously improve the governance capabilities of cadres, comprehensively promote "three incorruptions," and comprehensively win the tough battle and protracted war against corruption.

This training class also closely combines the central work of ecological and environmental protection throughout the province and the needs of grassroots environmental protection cadres in performing their duties. It sets up relevant courses around the elements of ecological and environmental governance such as water, air, and solid waste, as well as important content such as environmental impact assessment, ecological and environmental law enforcement, environmental complaints, carbon emission management, and special fund management, and arranges group discussions and other sessions. Trainees come from leading members of the ecological and environmental bureaus and sub-bureaus in cities and prefectures throughout the province, and some civil servants from the departments of the provincial bureau.
