Environmental protection has been upgraded steadily. The Ministry of ecology and environment has tak

In March 13, 2018, the State Council referred to the establishment of the Ministry of the State Council for the reform of the State Council, which was referred to the thirteen session of the National People's Congress (NPC), and the Ministry of environmental protection should not be retained. After the vote of the National People's Congress, the No. 115 Hospital of Nan Xiao street in Xizhimen will put up the brand of the Ministry of ecology and environment in 2018.

Wang Jinnan, President of the National People's Congress and President of the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of environmental protection, has been working in the environmental protection system after graduating from the graduate student of the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of environmental protection in 1988. He has experienced the 4 renaming of the National Environmental Protection Agency. In his view, behind the change of name is the escalation of ecological and environmental protection in our country. It is also a response to the expectations of the people.

Wang Yi, deputy director of the National People's Congress and vice president of the Chinese Academy of scientific and technological strategic consultancy Research Institute, has repeatedly provided an advisory report to the Central Committee of the Central Committee for the reform of ecological and environmental protection institutions. The natural resources department and the great ecological environment protection department, the "two carriages", which he once urged, have jointly drawn the plan for the protection of natural resources and ecological environment in China. The structure of the construction reform program is consistent.

In his view, such changes are in line with the previous "overall plan for the reform of the ecological civilization system" and the path to the construction of beautiful China in the nineteen major reports.

It is not a simple expansion of power, but a determination to build a beautiful China.

For the first time in our country, the name "environmental protection" was included in the name of the government organization in 1982. In that year, the Ministry of environmental protection of urban and rural construction was set up in China, and the Environmental Protection Bureau was set up under this department. At that time, the function of the environmental protection was very simple. It mainly managed the waste water, waste gas and waste residue of industrial enterprises. Until the institutional reform in 1988, the Environmental Protection Bureau was independent from the urban and rural construction environment protection department and became a sub - ministerial institution directly under the State Council.

Qu Geping, the first director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, recalls that although it is only a sub - ministerial institution, it is a qualitative change. For the first time, China has the environmental protection department of human, financial and material independence, which can exercise the functions of policy making and discharge supervision.

After the 90s of last century, with the environmental problems of our country highlighted and the institutional reform in 1998, the National Environmental Protection Bureau was upgraded to the general environmental protection administration, and became a direct ministerial institution under the State Council. It is worth noting that the institutional reform in that year is the biggest effort to abolish the central ministries and commissions.

Although it was upgraded to a positive ministerial unit, the State Environmental Protection Administration (State Environmental Protection Administration of environmental protection) was considered to be lacking in the right to speak, and the academic circles frequently called for the establishment of the Ministry of environmental protection in the light of the institutions set up by the developed countries.

Years of appeal from all walks of life became a reality in 2008, and the Ministry of environmental protection was added to the Department of State Council.

Wang Jinnan said that in the next 10 years, China started the campaign of pollution control marked by the defending war against the blue sky, but the environmental problems are still the hearts of the people. It is also one of the three major battles to build a well-off society in an all-round way. In this context, the short board of the current environmental management system needs to be improved.

Wang Jinnan said that the "deepening of the reform of the party and state institutions", which was adopted in the third Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, has been clearly defined. The protection of the ecological environment and economic regulation, market regulation, social management and public service are the functions of the government. The deep meaning behind this is the determination of building a beautiful China at the national level. In the past, the functions of ecological environment protection were often included in the government's public service functions, not single.

Wang Jinnan believes that the ecological environment protection to enter the track of the modernization of government governance, it is necessary to optimize the responsibilities of the relevant functional departments, which is the meaning of the Ministry of natural resources and the Ministry of ecological environmental protection.

Wang Yi said that the nineteen major reports have clearly regarded "beauty" as one of the important connotations of socialist modernization. The construction of beautiful China is not a unilateral goal, but it can not be an environmental environment, but a comprehensive system project. Not only needs the new development idea to realize the economic growth from high speed to high quality development, but also needs to gradually form the spatial pattern, industrial structure, production and life style and trade mode of beautiful China, and also need to use and supervise the natural resource assets in order. "This is obviously not simply a category of environmental pollution control, but the government needs to optimize and reconstruct the responsibilities of natural resources management, ecological protection and pollution prevention and control."

Taking the problem as the guidance, integrating the fragmented environmental protection function

In the March 14, 2018 discussion, a mayor of the western region told his distress that the problem of water pollution in the past was usually better than a few departments and even a few of the mayors, a problem of water, on the shore, to the environmental protection department, in the water, to the Ministry of water resources, and the groundwater, to the land department. . A long line of research team, who can't cut off.

The mayors' troubles are expected to be cracked. In accordance with the functions of the Ministry of ecological environment, the water environmental protection functions in departments such as the Ministry of environmental protection, the Ministry of water resources and the Ministry of land and resources will be integrated by the Ministry of ecological environment, and the situation of "water treatment in Kowloon" is expected to end.

Wang Jinnan, who has been working for 30 years in the environmental protection system, has a deep feeling about this problem. The problem of water pollution management is secant in different departments for a long time. In the actual work at the grass-roots level, it often causes overlapping and intersecting of functions, resulting in waste of administrative cost, but no one has "disconnected".

Such embarrassment is also, in accordance with the past system, the sewage discharged by enterprises is responsible for the environmental protection department on the shore.
