should channel more public services toward the community level, rural areas,
remote regions, and people in need, and improve the mechanisms for

allocating public resources according to the size of permanent resident

the county level and improve long-term mechanisms to guarantee the inputs

for their provision. We should deepen the reform of public institutions across
the board.

XII. Accelerating the Green Transition across the Board and Building a
Beautiful China

Green development is a defining feature of Chinese modernization. We

must unwaveringly uphold the principle that lucid waters and lush
mountains are invaluable assets and put it into concrete action. Guided by our

goals of achieving peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality, we should
make concerted efforts to cut carbon emissions, reduce pollution, pursue
green development, and boost economic growth. We must reinforce our
ecological security shields and strengthen our green development drivers.

45. Pressing ahead with the critical battle against pollution and the drive to
upgrade ecosystems
With a commitment to protecting the environment for our people, we

should fully implement the policy of combating pollution in a targeted,
scientific, and law-based way. Greater attention should be paid to addressing
pollution at source. We should better coordinate efforts to reduce pollution

and carbon emissions, control multiple pollutants, and carry out
cross-regional initiatives. Fresh headway should be made in keeping our skies
blue, waters clear, and lands clean.

We should expedite the implementation of an oversight system for
stationary pollution sources centered on emissions permits. We should launch
initiatives for the comprehensive treatment of solid waste, intensify the

prevention and control of environmental risks, and make substantial progress
in treating new pollutants. We should improve the systems for environmental
standards, monitoring, and assessment, as well as the evaluation of relevant

work.
We should follow a holistic and systematic approach to the conservation
and improvement of mountain, water, forest, farmland, grassland, and desert

ecosystems and coordinate efforts to advance major projects for protecting
