Office of the national greening committee, communiqué on the greening of china's territory, 2023 (12 march 2024)
In 2023, china's 20 major socialist ideas and party spirit of the new era of xi jinping were implemented in earnest throughout the country. The philosophy of xi jinping's ecological civilization was advanced. Integrated protection and systematic governance of mountain forests and lakes was promoted in an integrated manner. During the year, 3,998,000 hectares were forested, 4,379,000 hectares of grassland improved, and 1. 905 million hectares of sandy deserting land were treated。
I. Utilized resources for all
On 4 april 2023, for the eleventh consecutive year, general secretary xi participated in compulsory tree planting in the capital. General secretary xi emphasized that forests are both reservoirs of water, money, grain and carbon. The planting of trees is a very meaningful thing. It is a noble undertaking of modern times and in the best of times, and it must be done consistently and continuously. The introduction of compulsory tree planting for all is a vivid practice to promote the greening of the land and to build a beautiful china. Each sector of the region needs to combine its work with the organization of compulsory tree planting. Innovative forms of organization and enhanced forms of due diligence are needed to facilitate the participation of the public at large in the compulsory planting of trees and to achieve “due diligence, diversity and ease of due diligence throughout the year”。
The national people's congress, the political consultative council and the central military commission have each taken part in compulsory tree planting activities. The twenty-second compulsory tree planting event of the minister of the republic took place in kyoto, and 140 comrades at the ministerial level carried out “planting” through two types of due diligence. The internet+citizenforced trees has been continuously promoted, with more than 24,000 due diligence activities posted online throughout the year, nearly 440 million visits to web-based platforms, the construction of more than 1,500 internet+citizenforced trees, and the initial diversification of forms of due diligence and public participation. The staff of the central and state bodies took the lead in carrying out their duties, with a total of 83,000 participations. The central military commission's logistics support department issued a circular organizing troops to participate in the reforestation of the site。
The 31 provinces of the country (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government) and the xinjiang corps of production and construction have organized provincial-level, collective and compulsory tree planting activities. Innovative practices in beijing, guangdong, hebei, hunan, anhui, zhejiang, shaanxi, heilongjiang, jiangsu, sichuan and fujian have yielded significant results. Beijing, for example, has built four seasons of due diligence brands to actively promote compulsory tree planting in communities and villages. In guangdong, for example, there is an organic link between compulsory tree planting and global greening, rural greening, conservation of ancient trees and the creation of forest cities. During the 3-12 tree festival in hunan and elsewhere, the provincial council and provincial governments were primarily responsible for co-authoring a joint article calling for the participation of the entire community in the compulsory planting of trees. The demonstration lead role of forest leaders at all levels is fully utilized, such as anhui, to include compulsory tree planting in the annual provincial forest master appraisal。

Two, three-north war begins
On 6 june 2023, the general secretary of xi hosted a symposium on strengthening the integrated management of desertification and promoting the construction of priority ecological projects, such as the three north. General secretary xi stressed that strengthening the integrated desertification control and furthering the construction of priority ecological projects, such as the “three north”, is a noble endeavour of modern age and in the long run, for the country's ecological security, for the construction of powerful nations and for the sustainable development of the chinese nation. With courage, courage and perseverance, we must strive to create a new miracle in the new era of national defence, the sand and sand. We must build a green barrier in the northern part of the country and achieve greater success in building a beautiful china。
The central office of the communist republic of china and the office of the state council issue opinions on the strengthening of integrated desertification control and the promotion of the construction of key ecological projects such as the three north.
