Dongguan EIA: It is imperative to launch a development strategy environmental assessment in the central region

Dongguan EIA: Conducting a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in the Central Region is essential. Deepening the SEA has become a critical component of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) work under the new development context. The implementation of the Central Region Development Strategy aims to further expand environmental protection's role in comprehensive decision-making, promoting a balanced relationship between economic growth and environmental conservation. This approach supports sustainable development by protecting the environment while advancing economic progress, and it strongly advocates for the construction of an ecological civilization. According to Dongguan Environmental Protection, the main components of the strategic environmental assessment for the Central Region include analyzing regional economic and social development strategies, assessing the current status and evolution of the ecological environment, evaluating key resources and environmental pressures, conducting a comprehensive assessment of resource and environmental carrying capacity, and analyzing the environmental and ecological risks associated with major regional developments. It also involves formulating an overall strategy for environmentally optimized economic and social development and providing recommendations for coordinated development of the economy, society, and environment in key regions. The Central Region faces challenges such as the contradiction between urban agglomeration expansion and the carrying capacity of natural resources and the environment, as well as the tension between developing key areas and ensuring ecological security. The strategic environmental assessment should address these issues, focusing on promoting a human-centered new urbanization model, integrating the concept of ecological civilization throughout the urbanization process, and aligning with the main functional zone strategy to strictly protect ecological red lines. This will help guide spatial development with a rational layout. As a crucial base for food production, the Central Region plays a vital role in the national ecological security framework. Ensuring the "three securities" — food, river basin ecology, and human settlements — is a key responsibility for the central government during its development. The strategic environmental assessment must not only analyze the resource and environmental constraints affecting food production but also explore measures to ensure food security. It should study the laws of river and lake restoration, identify ways to maintain the ecological security of river basins, and examine the characteristics of ecological protection to develop effective measures for safeguarding human settlements.
