Abstract: The construction of ecological civilization is a vital task for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and is of great significance to meet the people’s growing needs for a better life. Xi Jinping Thought on ecological civilization scientifically reveals the inherent law of harmony between man and nature, profoundly expounds the dialectical relationship between the replacement of civilization and the rise and fall of ecology. This indicates that the Party and the government have reached a new height in their understanding of the regularity of the construction of ecological civilization and provides a fundamental basis for the construction of ecological civilization in the new era. In the journey of Chinese-style modernization, to promote the construction of ecological civilization at a high level, we should take Xi Jinping Thought on ecological civilization as the guide to theory and action. In the realization path, it is necessary to put the people first and promote green urbanization and the construction of beautiful villages in a coordinated manner. With the implementation of the “dual carbon” strategy, we should build a new pattern of green cycle and low-carbon development; and with mechanism construction as the core, we should promote the modernization of eco-environmental governance system and governance capacity.

Key words: Chinese-style modernization, construction of ecological civilization, Xi Jinping Thought on ecological civilization, concept of green development, “dual carbon” strategy
