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

“Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” concept (hereinafter referred to as two mountains concept) serves as the important component for China’s ecological civilization construction, breaking the dilemma of traditional development and environmental protection, and fostering the synergy between economy and ecology. Based on a framework integrating conceptual evolution, institutional construction, and practical implementation, this study examines the three stages: the awakening of paradigm and local breakthroughs during the ice-breaking period (2005–2012), system construction and national promotion in the establishment period (2013–2017), and value transformation and global contribution in the sublimation period (2018–present). The analysis reveals that the two mountains concept clearly demonstrates the phased evolution path of the transformation between economic and ecological values of ecological products. At present, challenges such as an incomplete ecological product value accounting system, barriers to cross-regional collaboration, and limited channels for market-oriented transformation persist. To advance the implementation, this study proposes a “four-wheel drive” practice path, which includes creating a market-oriented pricing and trading system, enhancing the regional interest of coordination mechanism, leveraging the empowerment of digital technology, and strengthening the legal guarantee system.
