为落实国家生态文明建设战略，响应丝绸之路经济带和海上丝绸之路愿景与行动计划，2014—2016年中国环境科学研究院开展了“新疆天山北坡经济带生态文明建设战略研究”。研究结合丝绸之路经济带愿景与行动和天山北坡经济带的区域定位以及发展实际，提出了天山北坡经济带生态文明建设的国土空间格局优化战略、资源优化配置与可持续开发战略、产业经济绿色发展战略、生态环境保护优先战略、体制机制改革创新战略和内引外联向西开放战略。天山北坡经济带生态文明建设战略研究为加快我国西部生态文明建设、推动丝绸之路绿色经济带延伸、落实西部大开发“十三五”规划和天山北坡经济带发展规划提供决策支撑。

In order to promote the national ecological civilization construction strategy and the Belt and Road strategy, the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences has implemented a project titled the "Study on Ecological Civilization Construction Strategies in the Tianshan Mountain Northern Slope Economic Belt" in 2014—2016. Based on the vision for the Silk Road Economic Belt as well as the regional positioning and actual development of the Tianshan Mountain Northern Slope Economic Belt, six strategies have been proposed: (1) an optimization strategy for land spatial patterns; (2) an optimal allocation and sustainable development strategy for regional resources; (3) a green development strategy for the industrial economy; (4) a priority strategy for ecological and environmental protection; (5) a reform and innovation strategy for systems and mechanisms; and (6) a westward opening strategy. The study will provide decision-making support to accelerate ecological civilization construction in Western China, promote the extension of the green Silk Road Economic Belt, and implement the 13th Five-Year Plan for development in Western China and for the Tianshan Mountain Northern Slope Economic Belt Development Plan.
