Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization (Chinese: 习近平生态文明思想) is the current ecological doctrine of the People's Republic of China, based on the concept of ecological civilization. It is a part of the larger Xi Jinping Thought, which is derived from the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping. It was established during the National Ecological and Environmental Protection Conference, held in May 2018.

## History

Beginning in 2017, Chinese universities and regional governments have begun establishing centers for the study of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization.$^{:89}$ At least 18 such centers had been established as of 2021.$^{:89}$ In July 2021, the Research Center for Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization was launched in Beijing, which is run by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.

The National Ecological and Environmental Protection in May 2018 summarized Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization in six principles. In June 2018, the CCP Central Committee proposed to thoroughly implement Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization from the perspective of eight principles, adding two principles to the Thought. The Thought calls on to adhering to:
* the principle that civilization will flourish when ecology flourishes
* to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature
* the principle that clear waters and green mountains are invaluable assets
* the principle that a good ecological environment is the most universal benefit to the people
* the principle that mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasslands are a community of life
* the most stringent system and the most stringent rule of law to protect the ecological environment
* the national action of building a beautiful China
* the joint efforts of the people to build a global ecological civilization

* that civilization will flourish if ecology flourishes
* harmonious coexistence between man and nature
* that clear waters and green mountains are invaluable assets

* using the strictest system and the most stringent rule of law to protect the ecological environment
* transforming the construction of a beautiful China into the conscious action of all people
* jointly seeking a path for global ecological civilization construction
