Examination on the Ecological Civilization Governance System and Capacity With the Case of COVID-19 Pandemic: Review and Improvement

Abstract

The COVID-19 disease broke out globally, bringing great challenges to public health security and increasing the difficulties in constructing ecological civilization governance system. Under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the Chinese Government and people have fought against the disease with courage and put people’s health and safety first. Through hard work, China has made achievements in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic and accelerated the restoring of work and life back to normalcy. While continuing to control the pandemic domestically, China promotes the building of a human community with shared destiny, and plays an active role in promoting global cooperation in public health, contributing extraordinarily to global public health and world economy. Guided by Xi Jinping’s Thought of Ecological Civilization, China has endeavored for modernization characterized by harmonious coexistence between man and nature. In response to the current crisis in public health and the challenges facing human–nature harmony thus incurred, the Editorial Department of Chinese Journal of Urban and Environmental Studies has co-hosted a seminar with CASS Thinktank for Eco-civilization Studies, aiming at brainstorming on and enhancing faith in continuing the building of an ecological civilization after completing the construction of a moderately well-off society in all respects. This paper intends to call for other countries to exchange and cooperate in building ecological civilization and building the world into a beautiful home for all.
