Recently, New Urbanization, a magazine been in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, sponsored by the National Development and Reform Commission and sponsored by the State Information Center and China Urbanization Promotion Association, has published in issue 5 in 2021 the feature article, the change of ecological civilization is a" war "without smoke, written by Zhou Jinfeng, vice president and Secretary-General of CBCGDF.

Zhou Jinfeng pointed out in the article that as a sustainable model representing the future development direction of humankind, ecological civilization is being gradually implemented. However, the industrial civilization development mode has been followed for more than 200 years and will not "flashback" the historical stage because of the birth of new civilization. This is a war that was very fierce but without smoke.

Zhou Jinfeng stressed that, at present, China is in the best period of development since modern times, while the world is in a significant change that has not happened in a century. These two are intertwined and agitated with each other.  What are the main changes in the world? The first is the change of civilization. Looking at human history from the perspective of civilization, we have experienced three major civilizations: primitive civilization, agricultural civilization and industrial civilization, and now we have stepped into the stage of ecological civilization. This is a historical juncture in the context of civilization change. In this special period, China has laid a solid foundation with a series of achievements during the 13th Five Year Plan period, such as "overall stable economic operation, continuous optimization of economic structure, 55.75 million rural poor people getting rid of poverty, and achieving a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way ". In this change of civilization, China has now entered the fast lane of ecological civilization construction. However, industrial civilization is still widespread in the world, resulting in fierce conflicts in ideology, culture, politics and economic fields. The practice of ecological civilization is not only a sober understanding of the drawbacks of industrial civilization but also the wisdom of "survival of the fittest" under the diversity of civilization.

Zhou Jinfeng pointed out that the situation faced by mankind in the era of ecological civilization is that the earth has been deeply affected by industrial civilization, human habitat is on the verge of collapse, and the disappearance of biodiversity is accelerating. There are also three existing crises: biodiversity crisis, climate change crisis, and public health security crisis. They have also become great challenges in the era of ecological civilization.

Concerning the challenges and responses to the superposition of the three survival crises, Zhou Jinfeng listed the representative cases of the CBCGDF in participating in the construction of ecological civilization and practicing the concept of biodiversity protection and green development. He pointed out: "there are many reasons for China's outstanding achievements. The main reason is that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China attaches great importance to ecological environment construction and biodiversity protection. Another main reason is that the party and the government give full play of the strength of civil society organizations to participate in the protection. This is a transition of civilization, which is also a great war. There is no smoke, but it was very fierce. Only by absorbing and paying attention to the extensive participation of the people can we be invincible. "
