黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展
保护黄河是事关中华民族伟大复兴和永续发展的千秋大计。治理黄河，重在保护，要在治理。中共十八大以来，黄河流域生态保护、经济发展、产业融合、城市群和中心城市建设、乡村振兴等方面取得诸多成绩，初步实现了量和质的融合发展。
2019年9月，习近平在河南省郑州市主持召开黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展座谈会时强调，黄河流域是中国重要的生态屏障和重要的经济地带，在国家经济社会发展和生态安全方面具有十分重要的地位。2021年10月，中共中央、国务院印发《黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展规划纲要》，对流域生态保护和高质量发展过程的重点方向、关键要素、发展模式、政策措施、支撑体系等进行了纲领性规划。
在黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展这一重大国家战略指引下，沿黄各省区正进一步高效推动产业绿色发展，强化创新资源与生产要素的高效融合，以真正实现黄河流域高质量发展。
河南省在黄河流域以及新发展格局中的地位举足轻重。河南省承载了全国1亿多人口、全国1/4的小麦产量和全国1/10的粮食产量，承担着保障国家粮食安全的重大任务。河南省沿黄区域是地形地貌特征最为特殊的地区，在黄河全流域生态文明建设中肩负了特殊使命和艰巨任务。黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展上升为重大国家战略以来，河南省提出打造黄河生态保护示范区、黄河高质量发展引领区、黄河文化传承创新区，强化创新动力，加快建设绿色制造体系和服务体系，逐步构建以郑州都市圈建设为核心引擎的都市圈一体化发展体制机制。
Ecological Protection and High-Quality Development of the Yellow River Basin
Protecting the Yellow River concerns the rejuvenation and sustainable development of the Chinese nation. In harnessing the Yellow River, protection and governance assume equal importance. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, progress both in quantity and quality has been achieved in the Yellow River basin in terms of eco-protection, economic development, industrial integration, construction of city clusters and central cities, and rural revitalization.
In September 2019, Xi Jinping presided over a meeting in Zhengzhou on the eco-protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin. He emphasized the basin's pivotal role as a vital ecological screen and economic belt in China's socioeconomic development and ecological security. In October 2021, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Outline of the Ecological Protection and High-quality Development Plan of the Yellow River Basin, which laid out the priorities, key factors, development model, policies and measures, and supporting systems for the endeavors.
To implement this national plan, the nine provinces and autonomous regions along the Yellow River are accelerating green industrial development and further aligning innovative resources with production factors for high-quality development.
Henan holds an important position in the Yellow River basin and China's new development dynamic. With a population of more than 100 million and producing one quarter of wheat and one tenth of grain for the country, the province plays an irreplaceable part in ensuring national food security. The unique landforms along the Yellow River set the riverside regions an arduous task in promoting ecological conservation in the river basin. Since the basin's eco-protection and high-quality development was made a major national strategy, Henan has set the goals to develop an eco-protection demonstration zone, a high-quality development pioneer zone, and a zone for preservation and innovative development of the Yellow River culture. It will rely more on innovation as a driving force and move faster to establish green manufacturing and service systems in pursuit of integrated development of city clusters powered by the construction of the Zhengzhou metropolitan area.
