Many of China’s great achievements in its course of open and reform are at the cost of our environment。
The unusually severe flooding of 1998 was an ominous warning against such development。 Unfortunately, it did not generate enough attention。
The numerous pollution incidences in the past two years, such as the chemical spill into Songhua River and the toxic cyanobacteria outbreak in Lake Tai, have brought the issue back to the public arena。
The conflict between economical development and environmental protection is reaching its flashing point today。
We cannot afford to ignore it any longer。
The concept of “sustainable development” was brought forth first in the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment at Stockholm in 1972。
The widely accepted definition is that not only a sustainable development should meet the need of the current generation; it must also not harm the abilities of the future generations to meet their needs。
It is a closely intertwined system。 When achieving the goal of economical development, natural environment and resources such as air, water, ocean, forest, etc。
, which are essential to human survival, must be protected。 This ensures that our children and grandchildren can sustain the development and prosperity。
Sustainable development centers on development。 However, it is the economic and social development built on population control, population quality improvement, environmental protection, and sustainable natural resource utilization。
In recent years China sees phenomenal GDP growth and rapid development。 However the damage to its environment is also severe。
Although “sustainable development” has been promoted by the Government, it has not been effectively implemented。
The recently coined “green GDP” is another policy statement of sustainable development。 As some officials put it, in the course of development, we not only desire mountains of gold and silver, but also desire waters that are clean and mountains full of life。
It should be clearly understood that Planet Earth is shared by many generations of human being, and is the only living place we will ever have。
The only correct and responsible approach towards future planning of our country is sustainable development。
