“The Communist Party of China shall lead the people in building a socialist ecological civilization”—these monumental words were incorporated into the Constitution of the Communist Party of China (CPC) at the 18th CPC National Congres s, and then further developed as a concept during the 19th CPC National Congress, u nveiling a new era of China’s development. Building an Ecological Civilization provides the reader with an overarching view of China’s approach toward ecological civilization, outlining the country’s theoretical framework and concrete strategies, including its policies, plans, and regulatory efforts. The book draws on selected speeches by President Xi Jinping and official documents on ecological civilization, an important part of the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
