The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee proposed to"perfect the mechanism for realizing the value of ecological products"and to"accelerate the perfection and implementation of institutional mechanisms that embody the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".The core essence of practicing the"Two Mountains"Theory involves the transformation from"lucid waters and lush mountains"to"gold and silver mountains".This process entails transitioning from ecological resources to ecological assets and then from ecological assets to ecological capital.Ultimately,leveraging ecological capital to optimize and enhance ecological resources is a crucial pathway for invigorating ecological resources and achieving a virtuous cycle in their utilization.This paper,grounded in the"Lishui Model"of financial support for the value transformation of ecological products,conducts a comparative analysis of domestic and international mechanisms for the protection and development of various ecological resources,including forest ecosystems,farmland ecosystems,and wetland ecosystems.It examines the characteristics and shortcomings of the existing ecological asset mortgage mechanism in Lishui City.The paper addresses issues related to the underdeveloped ecological asset mortgage system,challenges in evaluating the value of ecological assets,and difficulties in risk management.In response,it proposes specific policy recommendations and strategies aimed at establishing a more effective,operational,and sustainable ecological asset mortgage mechanism.The objective is to provide valuable insights for the development of a more robust and functional system for managing ecological assets.
