We must uphold the green development concept of respecting nature, complying with nature, and protecting nature. We must abide by the law and insist on using the most strict system and strict rule of law to protect the ecological environment. At the same time, we need to build a new pattern of environmental governance and strengthen judicial cooperation between courts in the Yangtze River Basin.
