Vice Mayor of XX City

Comrades:
Today, we solemnly hold the 2005 annual work summary and commendation meeting. First of all, on behalf of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, I would like to extend my cordial greetings to the cadres and workers who have worked long-term on the environmental protection front and contributed to the environmental protection cause. Warm congratulations to the individual.
In the past year, it has special significance for the environmental protection work of our city. After the formation of the new leadership team of the Environmental Protection Bureau, it quickly established that “one year out of the trough, two years of recovery, three years of stride, four years to the next step”, one year, Taking the opportunity of the National People's Congress inspection as an opportunity to rectify the environmental protection special actions of illegal sewage companies, highlighting the supervision and service functions, in-depth implementation of water pollution centralized remediation and XX high-speed comprehensive remediation activities, effectively cracked down on environmental violations and accelerated XX The pace of pollution prevention and control. At the same time, with the help of the style of the wind, the internal management, rationalization of the system, improvement of the system, normative, through the return of employee fundraising, security and various foreign debts, won the understanding, support and support, external image, optimization services Measures to improve service awareness. Under the pressures of heavy pressure, heavy tasks, and many inspections, the majority of cadres and workers do not talk about conditions, do not pay remuneration, and work hard to make the city's exit water stable to meet provincial and municipal standards, regional environment. The quality has been improved. It should be said that the work is in place, the effect is obvious, and the achievements are remarkable. Everyone has made important contributions to the healthy development of the city's economy and society, laying a good foundation for the city to implement the sustainable development strategy. .
The work goal of “Building an Industrial Strong City Construction Ecology XX” is being realized. Under the circumstances that the city's environmental protection work is relatively weak and the city's industrial pollution control pressure is high, it is not easy to achieve such results. This is the result of the hard work of all environmental protection workers, and it is also the result of the high attention paid by various enterprises to environmental protection work. . Here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all environmental workers!
Just now Director X summarized the environmental protection work in 2004 and made specific arrangements for this year's work. It is very good and comprehensive. In general, it can be summarized as clear thinking, clear goals, effective measures, and proper arrangements. I hope that after returning, we will act positively, study hard, implement it, and gather all strength and wisdom into our city. The environmental protection work has come up, and efforts have been made to achieve a "win-win" for the coordinated development of the city's economic development and environmental protection. I won’t say much here, and I would like to ask a few points about the future environmental protection work in the city:
First of all, we must recognize the environmental situation in our city. There are still many problems and difficulties in the environmental protection work of our city, mainly: environmental pressures continue to increase, the total amount of pollutants discharged exceeds the environmental carrying capacity, the level of industrial pollution prevention and control is not high, and the backward production process still exists. It is still very difficult for the following papermaking enterprises and refractory industries to ban the cessation of smoking kiln. The resurgence of the "five small" and "new five small" cannot be ignored. The pollution in key areas and key industries is still relatively serious. In particular, the prevention and control of water pollution in Shuangyu River has not been completely solved for many years. Some local and enterprise leaders still lack correct understanding and sufficient attention to environmental protection. In order to obtain local interests and short-term benefits, the phenomenon of sacrificing the environment has occurred from time to time. All levels of departments have comprehensive coordination and unified supervision of environmental protection work. The ability of the cadres is weak, and the ideology, innovation consciousness and ability, management level and working style of the cadres cannot fully meet the needs of the work. In a certain sense, the law enforcement ability of environmental protection is weakened. With regard to the above difficulties and problems, we will take practical and effective measures in our future work and resolve to seriously resolve them.
Second, we must deepen the concept of environmental protection. Environmental protection is a basic national policy of our country. With the development of society, environmental protection has gradually attracted the attention of the broad masses of the people. However, we also clearly see that although we have thought a lot of methods in our work, we have very Great efforts have been made, and environmental problems are still a major problem. The fundamental reason is that people's awareness of environmental protection is weak, and the concept of environmental protection is backward. Some towns and some enterprises have not taken this strategy seriously. Great things have not placed environmental protection on the agenda. Some enterprises consider their own interests, consider less global problems, and have a weak environmental awareness and environmental protection legal system. Sometimes they even exchange temporary and partial economic benefits at the expense of the environment. Individual enterprises idle idle pollution control facilities in order to reduce production costs. Illegal smuggling, and it is very serious, and it is repeated. In the specific work, there are still phenomena that focus on economic benefits and environmental benefits. In environmental management, there are still problems such as poor system, insufficient investment, relatively backward law enforcement methods, and insufficient law enforcement.
Environmental protection work involves all aspects of the social economy. The specific work is closely related to the lives of ordinary people. In reality, development and the environment are both consistent and there are many contradictions. As our environmental protection workers, we must constantly adjust our work ideas and methods in our specific work, adhere to the purpose of serving economic construction and social development, and improve the environment, safeguard people's quality of life and physical health as the fundamental starting point, and establish scientific The concept of environmental protection, enhance environmental awareness, all work from the overall situation of the city's economic and social development, correctly grasp the direction and strength of environmental protection work, and promote the long-term development of environmental protection work by promoting the healthy development of the economy and society.
Third, we must focus on key tasks. Ecological environment protection is related to the sustainable development of economy and society. Especially for resource-based cities like ours, strengthening ecological environment protection is a long-term and arduous task. This year we have to concentrate a lot of energy and overcome all difficulties and make up our minds. Focusing on the strategic goal of “building a strong industrial city and building ecological XX”, we will integrate environmental protection into the general trend of economic and social development, adhere to the development of solutions to environmental problems, and integrate environmental protection with economic development. Continuously increase the elimination of technologies, equipment and enterprises with backward technology, waste of resources and serious pollution, making environmental protection an important means to eliminate backward productivity and promote the development of advanced productive forces. Taking advanced pollution control technology as the forerunner, we will promote clean production and guide industrial enterprises to carry out pollution control. Promote enterprise transformation and enhance the level of pollution control through environmental protection policies and compulsory means, support the secondary biochemical technology of papermaking enterprises, install plate and frame filter sludge drying machine, encourage and urge the use of coal gas, natural gas, tunnel kiln, etc. Technology, vigorously promote the development of ecological economy, take the road of circular economy, and truly embark on a sustainable development path with high technology content, good economic returns, low resource consumption and less environmental pollution.
Fourth, we must strengthen team building. Put the construction of the environmental protection team to a more important position, and strengthen the training of environmental protection system cadres and professionals in conjunction with various key tasks. Through on-the-job training, political study, business examinations and other means, improve the overall quality of the environmental protection team, and strive to build an environmental law enforcement team with good thinking, positive style, understanding of business, management, and good work, one-handed environmental governance, one-handed quality service To further strengthen the overall combat effectiveness and promote the city's environmental protection work to a higher level. .
Fifth, strengthen environmental education. In light of the reality of the city, it is necessary to publicize environmental laws and regulations through television, radio stations, newspapers and magazines, slogans, etc., to form a good atmosphere for everyone to attach importance to and participate in environmental protection; to promote the exposure of heavily polluting enterprises through the news media. Advanced, lashing backward, to promote the solution of environmental hot spots and difficult problems, to inspire the people, to pressure the excessive pollutant discharge enterprises, enhance the environmental awareness of the whole society and the concept of environmental protection legal system; to carry out environmental warning education and objectively reflect the city The status quo of environmental quality will enhance the awareness of environmental protection concerns of leading cadres at all levels; vigorously promote environmental protection government affairs , improve public participation mechanisms, and guide and encourage the broad masses of people to participate in environmental protection.
Comrades, the work of environmental protection is in the contemporary era. It is beneficial to the future, with profound significance, great responsibility, and arduous tasks. Let us, under the guidance of the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, strengthen our confidence, invigorate our spirit, unite and cooperate, earnestly implement, and strive to achieve the environmental protection goal of building the ecological XX in our city, and make new changes for the city's economic development and social progress. Great contribution! thank you all!
