Political And Economic Analysis On The Construction Of Environmental-friendly Society

Currently, the environment problem has already become one of the five greatest contemporary worldwide problems. With the continuous development of human industrial production, a lot of waste is discharged to the environment; pollution incidents occur continuously, the environment problem is becoming increasingly serious. With the decline in natural purification capacity of the environment, the decay of natural resources and regenerative capacity, the rapid spread of environmental pollution, environmental issues have become social nuisance, and become a global issue which is beyond the boundaries of countries and regions and related to the entire human survival and development.In 1992, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development was held at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There were more than 200 points referred to the concept of“Environmentally sound”and“Environmental-friendly”. This indicated that the level of the awareness of environmental issues continues to deepen. This also gave evidence that there is a profound understanding among the international community, that is, the implementation of sustainable development strategies is a must way to solve environmental problems. The concept of environmental-friendly society is established on this basis.It was on March 12, 2005 when the concept of the construction of environmental- friendly society originated in China. General Secretary Hu Jintao first put forward“try to build a resource-conserving and environmental-friendly society”at the central population, resources and the environment forum. This is a major strategic decision made by our party which based on a thorough understanding on China’s resources and environment condition, and aimed to solve the conflicts between economic development and environmental resource in China.China’s economic and social development made great achievements in the 11th“five-year-plan”period. But we should also realize that China’s economic development mode is sort of vulgar growth while achieving steady and rapid economic development. The main feature of this mode is“environment sacrifice for economic growth”. The important factors of rapid economic growth are high resource and high energy consumption as well as high pollution emission. With high investment, high consumption and high emissions, low output as the characteristic, this mode of economic development ignored the circulation and transfer laws between social economic system and natural ecological system. It caused not only many natural resources shortage and exhausted, serious environmental pollution, but also serious damage to social economy and people’s health.In the next 10 years, there will be prominent contradictions in environmental development, so it will be the most important 10 years of the coordinated development of environment and economy. Resource and environment problem will be even worse if the traditional ways of development continues. Meanwhile, as the 12th“five-year-plan”period is a crucial period in the construction of well-off society, a period that full of strategic opportunities and social contradictions, China will encounter with rare historic opportunities as well as risk challenges predictable or unpredictable. The task to maintain a fast and steady economic development as well as social harmony and stability is arduous.The main aim of this paper is to put forward feasible measures based on the study of environmental-society to improve the construction of China’s ecological civilization, thereby to transform the mode of economic development, and to enhance the ability of sustainable development.Many research methods are adopted in the paper, such as the game analysis method, the empirical analysis method, social investigation and statistical analysis, and comparison method. The influence of the environment-friendly society construction on society, enterprises, and individuals was analyzed. An investigation was made among social public and college students, and some relevant scholars were interviewed to collect attitude and suggestions on the construction of environmental-friendly society. After analysis and comparison of the experience of some developed countries, some strategies and advice are put forward to the construction of environmental-friendly society in China.This article is divided into three parts, eight chapters. The first part is the chief of this paper. The background and significance of the concept of environmental-friendly society were discussed. Some research status and achievements of domestic and foreign relevant experts and scholars were also introduced this part. Further more, the theory basis on the construction of environmental-friendly society was put forward, and the evaluation index system was established. The second part is mainly about the present environment situation and the reason of its formation. The experience and measures of developed countries in solving environmental problems were summarized as a reference to China. Suggestions and countermeasures were proposed in the third part of this paper. The solutions varied from the political, economic to cultural aspects.Based on the analysis and comparison of the experience on environment management and protection in developed countries, the paper puts forward some suggestions on the construction of environmental- friendly society in China, from the implementation of economic policy, perfecting the system construction, transforming development mode to the advocating of public participation.
