Anti-pollution measures should be intensified to tackle key issues such as air, water, and soil pollution.

China should also accelerate ecological conservation and restoration, with priority given to protection and natural restoration of the environment.

Resources should be used more efficiently, as excessive exploitation, use, and consumption of natural resources are the fundamental reasons behind many environmental issues.

The country should strive to achieve the greatest economic and social benefits possible with minimal resources and environmental costs.

Authorities should also encourage green consumption, raising the environmental awareness of citizens and pushing for economical, green, and healthy lifestyles and consumption patterns.

The country should also improve mechanisms that promote China's "ecological civilization," applying the strictest systems and the most rigorous laws to protect the environment, Xi said.
