（九）努力建設(shè)生態(tài)文明的美好家園。

9. Building China into a beautiful homeland with a sound ecological environment

生態(tài)文明建設(shè)關(guān)系人民生活，關(guān)乎民族未來。霧霾天氣范圍擴大，環(huán)境污染矛盾突出，是大自然向粗放發(fā)展方式亮起的紅燈。必須加強生態(tài)環(huán)境保護，下決心用硬措施完成硬任務(wù)。

Fostering a sound ecological environment is vital for people's lives and the future of our nation. Smog is affecting larger parts of China and environmental pollution has become a major problem, which is nature's red-light warning against the model of inefficient and blind development. We must strengthen protection of the ecological environment and resolve to take forceful measures to complete this challenging task.

出重拳強化污染防治。以霧霾頻發(fā)的特大城市和區(qū)域為重點，以細顆粒物（PM2.5）和可吸入顆粒物（PM10）治理為突破口，抓住產(chǎn)業(yè)結(jié)構(gòu)、能源效率、尾氣排放和揚塵等關(guān)鍵環(huán)節(jié)，健全政府、企業(yè)、公眾共同參與新機制，實行區(qū)域聯(lián)防聯(lián)控，深入實施大氣污染防治行動計劃。今年要淘汰燃煤小鍋爐5萬臺，推進燃煤電廠脫硫改造1500萬千瓦、脫硝改造1.3億千瓦、除塵改造1.8億千瓦，淘汰黃標車和老舊車600萬輛，在全國供應(yīng)國四標準車用柴油。實施清潔水行動計劃，加強飲用水源保護，推進重點流域污染治理。實施土壤修復(fù)工程。整治農(nóng)業(yè)面源污染，建設(shè)美麗鄉(xiāng)村。我們要像對貧困宣戰(zhàn)一樣，堅決向污染宣戰(zhàn)。

We will take strong measures to strengthen pollution prevention and control. We will fully implement the plan for preventing and controlling air pollution, with the focus on mega cities and regions with frequent occurrence of smog. We will start by reducing PM10 and PM2.5 emissions, and focus on the following key areas: improving the industrial structure, raising energy efficiency, reducing vehicle exhaust emissions, and preventing and monitoring wind-borne dust. We will improve the new mechanism involving government, enterprises and the general public, coordinate prevention and control efforts in affected regions, and fully implement the action plan for preventing and controlling air pollution. This year, 50,000 small coal-fired furnaces will be shut down, and we will carry out desulphurization in coal-burning power plants with production capacity of 15 million kilowatts, denitrification in plants with 130 million kilowatts of production capacity, and dust removal in those with 180 million kilowatts of production capacity. Six million old high-emission vehicles will be removed from the roads, spread the use of new-energy vehicles and diesel fuel for vehicles that meets fourth-stage national standards will be provided nationwide. We will implement the clean water action plan, strengthen the protection of sources of drinking water, prevent and control water pollution in key river basins, and carry out land restoration. We will control non-point agricultural source pollution and build beautiful rural areas. We will declare war against pollution and fight it with the same determination we battled poverty.

推動能源生產(chǎn)和消費方式變革。加大節(jié)能減排力度，控制能源消費總量，今年能源消耗強度要降低3.9％以上，二氧化硫、化學需氧量排放量都要減少2％。要提高非化石能源發(fā)電比重，發(fā)展智能電網(wǎng)和分布式能源，鼓勵發(fā)展風能、太陽能，開工一批水電、核電項目。加強天然氣、煤層氣、頁巖氣勘探開采與應(yīng)用。推進資源性產(chǎn)品價格改革，建立健全居民用水、用氣階梯價格制度。實施建筑能效提升、節(jié)能產(chǎn)品惠民工程，發(fā)展清潔生產(chǎn)、綠色低碳技術(shù)和循環(huán)經(jīng)濟，提高應(yīng)對氣候變化能力。強化節(jié)水、節(jié)材和資源綜合利用。加快開發(fā)應(yīng)用節(jié)能環(huán)保技術(shù)和產(chǎn)品，把節(jié)能環(huán)保產(chǎn)業(yè)打造成生機勃勃的朝陽產(chǎn)業(yè)。

We will change the way energy is produced and consumed. We will strengthen energy conservation and emissions reduction and impose a ceiling on total energy consumption. This year, we aim to cut energy intensity by more than 3.9%. The emissions of sulfur dioxide and chemical oxygen demand will both be reduced by 2%. We will continue to raise the proportion of electricity generated by non-fossil fuel, develop smart grids and promote balanced distribution of energy resources, encourage the development of wind and solar power and biomass energy, and start construction of a number of hydropower and nuclear power projects. We will strengthen exploration, exploitation and utilization of natural gas, coal seam gas and shale gas. We will reform pricing of resource products and establish a sound system of tiered pricing for household water and gas consumption. We will launch projects to enhance energy efficiency of buildings and subsidize the production of energy-efficient products; develop clean production, green and low-carbon technologies and the circular economy; and become better able to respond to climate change. We will intensify water and materials conservation and comprehensive utilization of resources. We will speed up the development and use of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies and products and turn the energy conservation and environmental protection industries into dynamic sunrise industries.

推進生態(tài)保護與建設(shè)。繼續(xù)實施退耕還林還草，今年擬安排500萬畝。實施退牧還草、天然林保護、防沙治沙、水土保持、石漠化治理、濕地恢復(fù)等重大生態(tài)工程。加強三江源生態(tài)保護。落實主體功能區(qū)制度，探索建立跨區(qū)域、跨流域生態(tài)補償機制。生態(tài)環(huán)保功在當代、利在千秋。各級政府和全社會都要進一步積極行動起來，呵護好我們賴以生存的共同家園。

We will move forward with ecological protection and development. We will continue to carry out the project to convert marginal farmland back to forests and grassland, with this year's target being 333,300 hectares. We will implement major ecological projects to return grazing land to grassland, protect natural forests, prevent and control sandstorms, conserve water and soil, prevent and reverse the expansion of stony deserts, and recover wetlands. We will strengthen ecological conservation at the sources of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers. We will implement the functional zoning system and give impetus to the establishment of trans-regional and cross-watershed mechanisms to compensate for ecological damage. Ecological conservation and environmental protection benefit future generations. Governments at all levels and the whole society should act more vigorously to protect the land our lives depend on.

各位代表！做好政府工作，必須加強自身改革建設(shè)。各級政府要忠實履行憲法和法律賦予的職責，按照推進國家治理體系和治理能力現(xiàn)代化的要求，加強建設(shè)法治政府、創(chuàng)新政府、廉潔政府，增強政府執(zhí)行力和公信力，努力為人民提供優(yōu)質(zhì)高效服務(wù)。
