What are the characteristics and significance of China's social development strategy?

The Rich Connotation of Sustainable Development

Sustainable development is a new concept of development put forward in 1980s. It is produced in response to the changes of the times and the needs of social and economic development. Sustainable development refers to the development that not only meets the current demand but also does not weaken the ability of future generations to meet the demand. Sustainable development means maintaining, rationally utilizing and improving the natural resource base that supports ecological stress resistance and economic growth. Sustainable development also means incorporating environmental concerns and considerations into development plans and policies, and does not mean attaching conditions to new forms of aid or development financing. The three main characteristics of sustainability: ecological sustainability, economic sustainability and social sustainability are interrelated and inseparable. Ecological sustainability is the foundation, economic sustainability is the condition, and social sustainability is the pursuit of mankind. It should be the sustained, stable and healthy development of complex natural, economic and social systems. The core idea of sustainable development is that healthy economic development should be based on ecological sustainability, social justice and people's active participation in their own development decisions; The goals it pursues are: not only to meet people's various needs, but also to fully develop individuals; We should also protect resources and ecological environment so as not to pose a threat to the survival and development of future generations; It pays special attention to the ecological rationality of various economic activities, and emphasizes that economic activities beneficial to resources and environment should be encouraged, and vice versa.

The emergence of the theory of sustainable development points out a road of combining environment and development for the development of the human world, and provides an innovative way of thinking for the coordinated development of environmental protection and human society. Its essence is to closely link economic development with resource conservation and environmental protection to achieve a virtuous circle. The concept of sustainable development requires actively solving environmental problems in development, which not only promotes human development, but also promotes natural harmony. Mainly manifested in the following aspects: from simple economic growth to all-round development of economic, social and ecological, from material-oriented development to people-oriented development (the purpose of development is to meet people's basic needs and improve people's quality of life), from focusing on immediate interests and local interests to long-term interests and overall interests, from material resources-driven development to non-material resources or information resources (technology and knowledge)-driven development.

2. Put forward the strategy of sustainable development

The so-called sustainable development strategy refers to the action plan and program to realize sustainable development, and it is the general name to realize sustainable development in many fields. It should coordinate all aspects of development goals, especially social, economic, ecological and environmental goals. 1In June 1992, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Congress put forward and adopted the global sustainable development strategy-21Century Agenda, requiring countries to formulate their own sustainable development strategies, plans and countermeasures according to their own conditions. 1On July 4th, 994, the State Council approved China's first national sustainable development strategy-China's white paper on population, environment and development in the 20th century. The proposal of sustainable development strategy marks a major revolution in the concept of human development since the industrial revolution, and marks that it is a new development concept and action program, which is conducive to the healthy development of human beings to 2 1 century. Sustainable ecological civilization will become the main theme of the development of human society in 2 1 century.

3 the necessity of implementing the strategy of sustainable development

Resources: With the sustained growth of the world population and economic development, the demand for resources is increasing. Large-scale exploitation and consumption lead to the weakening, degradation and depletion of the resource base, and the shortage of fresh water resources. The rising prices of oil and other energy sources have seriously damaged land resources and mineral resources. Maintain the earth's resources and biodiversity, and ensure the sustainable utilization of resources. Environment: mainly manifested in two categories: environmental pollution and ecological destruction. Strengthening environmental protection is an inevitable requirement to promote the transformation of economic growth mode, eliminate poverty and promote all-round social progress.

4 the significance of implementing the strategy of sustainable development

The implementation of sustainable development strategy is conducive to promoting the unity of ecological benefits, economic benefits and social benefits. It is conducive to promoting the transformation of economic growth mode from extensive to intensive, and coordinating economic development with population, resources and environment. It is conducive to the sustained, stable and healthy development of the national economy and the improvement of people's living standards and quality. Conducive to promoting the process of new industrialization. It is beneficial to the adjustment of agricultural economic structure, the protection of ecological environment and the construction of ecological agriculture.

5 Scientific Outlook on Development

The traditional development view pays attention to the growth of material wealth, ignoring the all-round development of people and the all-round progress of society; Simply regard GDP growth as the core index to measure economic and social development, ignoring humanities, resources and environmental indicators; Simply regard nature as the object of human survival and development, ignoring nature is the foundation of human survival and development first. Under the influence of the traditional concept of development, although human beings have accumulated rich material wealth, they have also paid a huge price for it. Waste of resources, environmental pollution and ecological destruction are common and increasing, but people's living standards and quality often cannot be improved with economic growth, and even many social and environmental problems endanger their future survival. To solve these contradictions and problems in the historical process, we must abandon the influence of traditional development concepts and development models and constantly carry out scientific innovation of development concepts.

Scientific Outlook on Development demands sustainable development. In other words, while developing economy, we should fully consider the bearing capacity of environment, resources and ecology, maintain the harmonious relationship between man and nature, realize the sustainable utilization of natural resources and realize the lasting development of society. Environment is the foundation of human survival and development, and development is the premise of promoting environmental protection. Starting from Scientific Outlook on Development, economic development and environmental protection are complementary, and environmental protection itself is productivity. If we do not consider environmental protection and resource consumption in economic development, and blindly fight for resources, energy and high pollution, on the surface, GDP is growing. In fact, if we consider ecological costs, it may be negative growth or low growth. However, the overdraft of the ecological environment is often repaid by human beings. Therefore, it is extremely important to establish and implement Scientific Outlook on Development, strengthen the rational development and utilization of natural resources, protect the ecological environment, and promote the harmonious development between man and nature. Only by adhering to the people-oriented principle and using Scientific Outlook on Development's unified thinking and guidance can our development truly realize the coordinated and sustainable development of population resources, environment and social economy. Firmly grasping the important strategic opportunity period, it is possible to seek the greatest economic and social development at the minimum cost of resources and environment, and embark on a road of economic development with scientific and technological guidance, resource conservation and ecological protection, so that China can achieve comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development faster and better. In the face of Scientific Outlook on Development's sustainable development, we must change the traditional thinking and mode of development, strive to achieve the coordination and unity of sustained economic development, all-round social progress, sustainable utilization of resources, continuous improvement of the environment and virtuous ecological cycle, and never take the old road of uncontrolled population growth, excessive consumption of resources, serious environmental pollution and ecological destruction. Pay equal attention to open source and throttling, combine prevention and control, reduce the pressure on resources and environment, and realize the transformation of economic growth mode from "high consumption, high pollution and low efficiency" to "low consumption, low pollution and high efficiency". Vigorously develop eco-industry with circular economy as the core, eco-agriculture with pollution-free agricultural products, green agricultural products and organic agricultural products as the main body, and eco-service industry marked by saving resources, reducing pollution, "green consumption" and "green service". Only in this way can the speed of economic development be unified with the structure, quality and benefit, the economic development can be adapted to the population, resources and environment, and a national economy and an economical society with low input, less pollution and recycling can be built, which not only ensures the sustained, rapid and healthy development of contemporary economy and society, but also creates good conditions for the development of future generations and truly realizes the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people.

Fundamentally speaking, China has not completely changed the extensive economic growth mode of "high input, high consumption, high emission, uncoordinated, difficult to recycle and low efficiency". Due to the extensive growth mode and the high cost of resources and environment behind the rapid economic growth, the pressure of energy and resources shortage is aggravated, resulting in the contradiction and situation facing sustainable development is quite prominent and severe.

How can we not take detours? The key is to establish Scientific Outlook on Development, promote the development mode of circular economy, and take a new road of industrialization with high scientific and technological content, good economic benefits, less resource utilization, low environmental pollution and full play of human resources. On the one hand, it is necessary to research, develop and popularize new energy and new materials, and widely adopt pollution control technologies and ecological damage restoration technologies that are in line with local conditions, including low-investment and high-efficiency wastewater treatment technologies, comprehensive urban air pollution control technologies and harmless solid waste treatment technologies, so as to comprehensively promote cleaner production. On the other hand, we should vigorously develop advanced productive forces. Implement strategic adjustment of economic structure, eliminate backward technology and equipment, close down and ban enterprises with serious pollution; Change the traditional industrial development mode of "resources-production-pollution discharge" into a circular development mode of "resources-production-renewable resources" to promote the rapid development of green productive forces characterized by clean production, circular economy and ecological economy, making them an important part of advanced productive forces and the best "combination point" for environmental protection.
