Review and Outlook on Concept "Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains Are Invaluable Assets" at Its 20th Anniversary: Scientific Connotation, Strategic Value, and Case Study-Scientific Connotation

Abstract

This study, following Xi Jinping’s ecological civilization philosophy and the two mountains concept, explores pathways for realizing ecological value and mechanisms for ecological GDP in the Yellow River Basin. The research demonstrates that the two mountains concept breaks through the limitations of traditional development paradigms, providing a foundational guide for ecological conservation and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. The research shows that constructing an ecological asset system and incorporating it into GDP accounting is the key to addressing the challenges of ecological value transformation. This requires adherence to the principles of “requisition-compensation balance” and “market-based transaction”, coupled with the quantification and rights verification of core ecological assets to facilitate the conversion of ecological resources into ecological products. The estimates reveal that over 90% of the total ecological asset value in the Yellow River Basin originates from its upper and middle reaches provinces, highlighting the necessity for cross-regional compensation mechanisms to address spatial imbalances. Three pathways for ecological value realization are proposed based on regional characteristics: (1) “storage-based transformation” is applicable to ecologically rich regions such as Qinghai; (2) “investment-driven” path for regions with diversified industries such as Shandong and Sichuan; (3) “storage-investment composite” model for resource-dependent regions with industrial structure transformation needs such as Shanxi and Inner Mongolia.
