Research progress and practice exploration summary of eco-compensation in China over the past 40 years
Eco-compensation has become an important policy tool for regulating the relationship between socio-economic development and ecological protection,especially in the past 40 years since the reform and opening up.China has made great progress in both theoretical research and practical exploration of eco-compensation.Based on the literature and data review and analysis,it is clear that there are significant differences between domestic and foreign eco-compensation research and practice in terms of research content,compensation model,financing method and standard approval.Domestic research focuses on eco-compensation mechanism,and there are abundant theoretical studies on eco-compensation in watersheds,eco-compensation standard accounting,eco-compensation impact factor analysis,eco-compensation policy and measure formulation,and eco-compensation benefit evaluation.At the practical level,the exploration of eco-compensation policy system in China has roughly gone through four stages of deep development:initial,formation,rapid development and comprehensive promotion,and generally formed an eco-compensation practice system and framework with"Chinese characteristics"that is mainly government compensation and market compensation.Regional eco-compensation practice is influenced by the top-level design of eco-compensation policy,regional socio-economic development level,regional geographical and environmental characteristics and ecological resource endowment,regional prominent ecological and environmental problems,regional external social environment,and public perception and participation,presenting a four-dimensional eco-compensation practice influence mechanism of constraint-guidance-demand-incentive under a horizontal and vertical,combined internal and external structure.In the future,we need to further deepen the research on eco-compensation mechanism,establish a sound eco-compensation management system and market mechanism,and promote the coordinated development of the region and the construction of beautiful China.
