How to understand the relationship among circular economy, low-carbon economy and ecological civilization

Low-carbon life circular economy is a new economy facing mankind after primitive economy, agricultural economy and industrial economy. It refers to a green circular economy put forward under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development to cope with global warming and seek conditions conducive to the survival and development of human society. It is based on the efficient utilization and clean development of energy resources, marked by low energy consumption, low pollution and low emission, and aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions mainly based on carbon dioxide. Therefore, as a new economy, the circular economy of low-carbon life is the highest realm of circular economy, green economy and low-carbon economy, which has at least the following seven meanings: First, it is economy. Second, it is an economy guided by Scientific Outlook on Development. Third, it is an economy proposed to cope with global warming and seek conditions conducive to the survival and development of human society. Fourth, an economy based on efficient utilization and clean development of energy and characterized by low energy consumption, low pollution and low emissions. Fifth, it is a low-carbon economy with carbon dioxide as the main target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sixth, it is a green economy, that is, an economy that takes environmental capacity and resource carrying capacity as constraints and environmental protection as an important pillar to achieve sustainable development, or an economy that takes protecting and improving the ecological environment as the premise, cherishing and making full use of natural resources as the main content, and taking the coordinated development of society, economy and environment as the growth mode and sustainable development purpose. (1) Seventh, it is circular economy, that is, in the large system of people, natural resources and science and technology, in the whole process of resource input, enterprise production, product consumption and abandonment, the traditional linear growth economy that relies on resource consumption is transformed into an economy that relies on the recycling of ecological resources, or it is centered on the efficient utilization and recycling of resources, with "reduction, reuse and recycling" and low consumption. [②]

In addition to the above, the circular economy of low-carbon life should have at least the following three meanings: first, ecological economy, that is, within the carrying capacity of the ecosystem, using the principles of ecological economics and systematic engineering methods, changing production and consumption patterns, tapping all available resource potential, developing some economically developed and ecologically efficient industries, building a culture with reasonable system and social harmony, and an economy with healthy ecological environment and suitable landscape, that is, realizing economic take-off and environmental protection, material civilization and spiritual civilization. [3] Because, as mentioned above, it is a circular economy and a green economy, and circular economy is not only a theoretical basis, but also an ecological economy in essence, that is, it uses the laws of ecological economy to guide economic activities, and can even be called a green economy, which is a "touch stone into gold" economy. [4] Second, it is the knowledge economy, that is, the economy based on the production, distribution and use of knowledge and information, that is, the knowledge economy. ⑤ Because it is an economy marked by low energy consumption, low pollution and low emission, it is another great leap of human society after primitive economy, agricultural economy and industrial economy. Its essence is to use energy efficiently, develop clean energy and pursue green GDP. The core is the innovation of energy technology and emission reduction technology, the innovation of industrial structure and system, and the fundamental change of human survival and development concept. It involves all fields, industries and aspects of social life, especially life and health, information technology, biotechnology, creativity, new materials, new energy and related advanced manufacturing industries. They are all fields, industries and aspects with high knowledge intensity, great market potential, obvious competitiveness, high added value and high correlation, which need a lot of knowledge as the foundation and support, and urgently need technological innovation, especially intellectual property rights, and are an important part of intellectual property economy. Third, it is the economy ruled by law, that is, the economy ruled by law. Because in a society ruled by law, all human behaviors and social activities should be brought into the orbit of the rule of law. In this case, the circular economy of low-carbon life should not be an exception.

It is generally believed that ecological civilization, that is, the new civilization faced by human beings after primitive civilization, agricultural civilization and industrial civilization, refers to the sum of material and spiritual achievements made by human beings following the objective laws of harmonious development of man, nature and society; It refers to a cultural and ethical form with the basic purpose of harmony, virtuous circle, all-round development and sustained prosperity between man and nature, man and man, and man and society. [6] In my opinion, as the highest form of human civilization so far, the so-called ecological civilization refers to a civilization that is people-oriented, conducive to human survival and development, and conforms to ecological laws. It includes the following basic meanings: First, it is civilization. The second is people-oriented civilization. Third, it is a civilization that is conducive to human survival and development. Fourth, it is a civilization that conforms to ecological laws.

The so-called standardization strategy refers to the strategy of standardizing people's social behavior or social activities in order to benefit themselves in the competition. In a society ruled by law, as an important part of the strategy of governing the country according to law, even as the strategy itself, it includes the following basic meanings: First, it is a strategy. The second is the competitive strategy. Third, it is a strategy that is ultimately beneficial to you in the competition. Fourthly, it is a strategy about people's social behavior or social activities. Fifth, the strategy of standardization.

Second, the basis of implementing the standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building low-carbon ecological civilization"

(A) "Developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" is determined by the nature of the standard. Standards, as scales and standards to measure things, have many meanings. In the broadest sense, standards are the provisions of things. Broadly speaking, it is a unified regulation of repetitive things and concepts. In a narrow sense, it is based on the comprehensive achievements of science, technology and practical experience, and is published in a specific form with the consent of the competent department through consultation, as a criterion and basis for compliance. In the narrowest sense, it is an important part of law, even the law itself. It is an important part of laws or laws that are formulated and promulgated by legal subjects within the statutory authority and in accordance with legal procedures to regulate social behavior or social activities and adjust social relations. However, no matter what kind of understanding, standards include qualitative and quantitative provisions, and are the unity of absoluteness and relativity, infinity and finiteness, omnipresence and omnipresence. Especially in the contemporary era of knowledge explosion and information explosion, and in today's increasingly frequent personnel flow, cultural exchanges and economic and trade exchanges, this is even more true. It is no exaggeration to say that today's world is a standard world. Never deviate from the standard. If you control standards, you control the world, and the best way to control standards is to implement standardization strategy. "Developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" is no exception.

(B) "Developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" The implementation of standardization strategy is the requirement of the rule of law strategy. As mentioned above, not only the standard is an important part of the law, even the law itself, but also the standardization is an important part of the rule of law strategy, even the rule of law strategy itself. Therefore, since the strategy of rule of law requires people to act according to law in a society ruled by law, and all people's behaviors and social activities should be brought into the track of rule of law, then "developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" should not be an exception. The standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" fully meets the requirements of the rule of law strategy, and even implements the rule of law strategy.

(C) "Developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" The implementation of standardization strategy is the embodiment of scientific development. Scientific development means people-oriented, following objective laws, and developing in an all-round, coordinated, sustainable and balanced way. The first essence is development, the core is people-oriented, the key is to follow objective laws, the basic requirement is comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable, and the fundamental method is overall consideration. The implementation of standardization strategy can provide necessary conditions for modern large-scale production through standardization forms such as simplification, unification, generality, serialization, combination and modularization, lay a foundation for the implementation of scientific management and modern management, be conducive to the popularization and application of advanced production organizations and manufacturing technologies, improve product quality and develop varieties, and be conducive to eliminating waste and saving living and materialized labor. [8] Undoubtedly, it embodies the spirit of scientific development.

(D) "Developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" Implementing standardization strategy is a necessary way to improve core competitiveness. In the final analysis, core competitiveness is the driving force for the survival and development of the main body. Only with core competitiveness can we survive and develop. Only with higher core competitiveness can we survive and develop better. Therefore, we must improve our core competitiveness. There are many ways to improve core competitiveness. However, the implementation of standardization strategy is an important aspect of "developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life". Because standardization is not only an important technical basis for economic and social development, but also a concentrated expression of comprehensive development level, and it is also the basic element and important content of core competitiveness.

(V) "Developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" The implementation of standardization strategy is the need to participate in international competition. In today's extremely fierce and cruel international competition, standards have become an important means for countries and regions in the world to set market access thresholds, an important foundation for the global circulation of commodity trade, an important bridge for the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, an important measure to promote industrial development, foreign trade and standardize market order, and an embodiment of the comprehensive strength of countries and regions. Whoever has the right to formulate standards will occupy the commanding heights of competition and development. To this end, all countries and regions concerned generally attach importance to standards, especially developed international organizations and countries such as Europe, America and Japan implement standardization strategies, actively advocate and participate in the formulation of international standards, set up trade barriers, and seize the commanding heights and initiative of international trade. Therefore, "developing low-carbon life circular economy and building ecological civilization", strengthening standardization work and implementing standardization strategy are related to the overall situation of China's economic and social development, and have important strategic significance for improving the ability of independent innovation and transforming the mode of economic development, accelerating the construction of an innovative country and a brand power, actively responding to the challenges brought about by changes in the international market and actively participating in international competition.

Third, the path of implementing the standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building ecological civilization of low-carbon life"

(1) The implementation of the standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building ecological civilization in low-carbon life" must be comprehensive and focused. Because: on the one hand, it is related to the overall situation of national survival and development, involving all fields, industries and aspects of politics, economy and social life. On the other hand, China is generally backward in technology, underdeveloped in economy and limited in financial and material resources. Therefore, to implement the standardization strategy in China, we must scientifically determine the objectives, insist on highlighting the key points, and ensure that the key points are highlighted. In particular, we must speed up the innovation of standardization mechanism, strengthen the standardization work in key areas such as agriculture, food, environmental protection, resource conservation and comprehensive utilization, and high technology, which are related to the national core competitiveness and the national economy and people's livelihood, and improve the level and achievements of standardized scientific research. Strengthen international standardization work, actively participate in international standardization activities, and strive for the right to speak and take the lead in formulating international standards.

(2) The implementation of the standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" must rely on and integrate with the intellectual property strategy. Because: the standardization of intellectual property rights with patents as the core is the indispensable main content and important foundation of standardization, even its foundation. Without the standardization of intellectual property rights, standardization will become passive water. Accordingly, if there is no intellectual property strategy, the standardization strategy will be rootless.

(3) The implementation of the standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" must rely on and integrate into the rule of law strategy. Because: on the one hand, intellectual property rights and standards are important components of law, and intellectual property rights strategy and standardization strategy are important components of rule of law strategy, even the rule of law strategy itself. On the other hand, in a society ruled by law, nothing can be divorced from the strategy of rule by law.

(D) The implementation of the standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization of low-carbon life" must rely on and integrate the talent strategy. Because people are the main body of social behavior and social activities. Any social behavior and social activities are and must be carried out by people. The standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building ecological civilization of low-carbon life" is no exception. Because talent is the elite in the crowd, if you have the corresponding talent in the implementation of social behavior or social activities, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, the implementation of the standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building ecological civilization in low-carbon life" requires and requires a considerable number of talents. To have a considerable number of talents, we should and must implement the talent strategy.

(V) The implementation of the standardization strategy of "developing circular economy and building an ecological civilization with low-carbon life" must rely on and integrate with the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. Because: as we all know, people are not born with knowledge, but constantly learn, and any talent needs to be cultivated. For a country, cultivating talents is inseparable from science and education and its development, and from the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education.
