Poverty Reduction Mechanism Of Rural Environmental Governance In China

Improving the rural environment and promoting poverty reduction in poverty-stricken areas is the fruitful experience of China’s in-depth practical exploration,a new path for poverty reduction in the construction of ecological civilization,and a creative strategy that organically combines ecological civilization with rural revitalization.On the basis of sorting out the research results of worldwide scholars on the relationship between rural environmental governance and poverty alleviation,this dissertation first clarified the relevant theoretical definitions and defined the connotation and extension of rural environmental governance and poverty alleviation.Secondly,the theoretical analysis summarizes the mechanism of poverty alleviation and enrichment in China’s rural environment,and expounds its internal effect principle;Thirdly,the achievements,challenges and history of rural environmental governance in China are summarized.Based on the panel data of 27 provinces and cities in China from 2005 to 2019,the fixed effect model is adopted to conduct regression analysis on the poverty reduction effect of rural environmental governance.Finally,based on the empirical results,relevant policy suggestions are put forward.This dissertation draws the following conclusions: firstly,rural environmental governance and poverty reduction in China play a role through the dual mechanism of poverty alleviation and enrichment.The poverty alleviation mechanism includes the slow-release effect of resource constraint,the accumulation effect of human capital and the driving effect of public service,and the enrichment mechanism includes the green value conversion effect and the self-driven incentive effect.Secondly,according to the characteristics and achievements,rural environmental governance and poverty reduction in China can be divided into four stages:policy blank stage,pioneering stage,growth stage and deepening stage.Third,the slow-release effect of resource constraint has a significant effect on poverty reduction.Poverty alleviation mechanism and enrichment mechanism are established,but there is a large spatial difference,and only the coefficient in western China is more significant.Through mechanism quantitative decomposition,among the poverty reduction mechanisms of rural environmental governance,the proportion of explanation caused by the mechanism of getting rich accounted for 52.86% and 30.16% respectively.This dissertation puts forward policy suggestions,on the one hand,to improve environmental quality and consolidate the foundation of poverty alleviation,to rationally develop and utilize rural environmental resources,strengthen environmental governance for residents’ health,and continue to improve public services of environmental governance;On the other hand,we need to adhere to the green drive,smooth the path to prosperity,continue to promote the green development of rural industries,and activate the endogenous driving force for green development.
