Central Inspection on Eco-Environmental Protection

Inspections on eco-environmental protection, launched by the central government, are an institutional measure to promote eco-environmental protection and build an eco-civilization.

The inspections are designed to help address prominent problems, improve the eco-environment, advance high-quality economic development, and prioritize the political duties of relevant Party and government bodies and enterprises in eco-environmental protection and conservation.

In August 2015, the Plan on Environmental Protection Inspection (trial) was issued for implementation. In June 2019, the central authorities published detailed regulations on central inspection of eco-environmental protection, which stipulated that a specialized inspection body would be set up to conduct eco-environmental protection inspections of the CPC committees and governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, relevant departments under the State Council, and central government enterprises. The inspections can be regular or ad hoc, and follow-up inspections will also be carried out to review the effects of regular inspections.

In May 2021, the methods of special inspections on eco-environmental protection were published, which clarified the targets and tasks of special inspections, and defined the procedures and powers of the inspectors, and the rules of discipline.

Central inspections are designed to ensure that local governments conscientiously apply the new concept for development, to promote green industries, to restore market order, and to drive adjustment of the industrial structure and improvement of the industrial configuration.

中央生態(tài)環(huán)境保護督察

中央生態(tài)環(huán)境保護督察以解決突出生態(tài)環(huán)境問題、改善生態(tài)環(huán)境質量、推動經濟高質量發(fā)展為重點，夯實生態(tài)文明建設和生態(tài)環(huán)境保護的政治責任，是中共中央、國務院推進生態(tài)文明建設和生態(tài)環(huán)境保護的一項重大制度創(chuàng)新。

2015年8月，《環(huán)境保護督察方案（試行）》印發(fā)，部署對各地開展環(huán)境保護督察工作。2019年6月，中共中央辦公廳、國務院辦公廳印發(fā)《中央生態(tài)環(huán)境保護督察工作規(guī)定》，提出設立專職督察機構，對省、自治區(qū)、直轄市黨委和政府、國務院有關部門以及有關中央企業(yè)等組織開展生態(tài)環(huán)境保護督察，并進一步明確了三種督察方式，即例行督察、專項督察、“回頭看”等。2021年5月，《生態(tài)環(huán)境保護專項督察辦法》印發(fā)，進一步明確了專項督察對象和重點，規(guī)范了專項督察程序和權限，并嚴格了專項督察紀律和要求。

通過中央環(huán)境保護督察，可以有效提升地方落實新發(fā)展理念的自覺性，有效倒逼產業(yè)結構調整和產業(yè)布局優(yōu)化，有效規(guī)范市場秩序，推動綠色產業(yè)加快發(fā)展。
