生态文明建设是中国特色社会主义道路的理论创新，是我国全面建成小康社会和建设美丽中国的重要载体。自中国共产党第十七次全国代表大会确立生态文明建设的战略任务以来，生态文明建设开始在全国蓬勃开展。从生态文明建设的成效来看，我国生态文明建设尚处于初级阶段，还面临着城镇化的快速发展、污染减排压力的逐渐增大、生态环境生产力低下、制度不够完善、工程科技支撑不足以及国际形势日趋复杂等多方面的挑战。未来我国还需开展生态文明教育、加强环境综合治理、合理开发利用资源、建立健全生态文明制度、加强工程科技创新以及加强国际合作来推动

Ecological civilization construction is the theoretical innovation of the path to socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the fundamental element in building a beautiful China and implementing the “moderate prosperity” program in a well-rounded way. At the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, strategic mission for the construction of ecological civilization is established. Since then, ecological civilization has been developed vigorously all over the country. Nevertheless, in terms of the performance, ecological civilization construction in our country is still at an early stage, and faced with various challenges, such as rapid development of urbanization, gradually increased pollution reduction pressure, poor ecological environment productivity, imperfect management system, insufficient support of engineering technology, and increasingly complex international situation. Ecological civilization construction needs to launch ecological civilization education, strengthen the comprehensive management of the environment, reasonably exploit and utilize resources, establish and improve the ecological civilization regime, strengthen the engineering technology innovation, and enhance international cooperation in the future work.
