Abstract:The formation of XI Jin-ping’s ecological civilization thought meets our practical needs. It is what we need to solve China’s ecological problems, to realize the sustainable development of Chinese nation, to guide the comprehensive development of society, to realize the “beautiful Chinese dream” and to show sense of responsibility as a great nation. It is of great significance to contemporary society. XI Jin-ping’s ecological civilization thought comprehensively and systematically answers a series of important theoretical and practical problems in the construction of socialist ecological civilization in the context of the new era from the aspects of goal-setting, basic principles, value orientation, participants and guarantee measures, and it is a set of ideological and theoretical system with strict logical structure. To apply XI Jin-ping’s ecological civilization thought, we need to accurately grasp four key points: to raise public awareness of the new concept of ecological civilization, to persistently pursue green development, to improve the system of ecological civilization, to increase international exchanges and cooperation in the field of ecological civilization construction, and ultimately to achieve the unification of the value, theory and practice of ecological civilization so as to push forward the great practice of building socialist ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics.
