Abstract

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly, marks the beginning of a new era for humanity to move toward a sustainable society. The ecosystem and socioeconomic system constitute a more grand and complex system with a close relationship between socioeconomic and ecological elements. The realization of the value of ecological products plays a fundamental and complex role in promoting sustainable development goals. Through a literature review and practical experience in related fields, as well as analyses of three typical cases in different geographic locations in China, we find that the reform approach of turning "ecological resources into ecological assets, owned capital into share capital, and householders into shareholders" has broadened the opportunities to realize the value of ecological products. Specifically, the conversion of ecological value can be realized using ecological protection compensation, ecological industrialization operation, and the property rights trading of ecological resources. The realization of the value of ecological products provides a new model and practice for effectively responding to climate change, improving the quality and stability of ecosystems, promoting equity, and thus realizing sustainable development. China's experience and practices have improved the residents' well-being and financial standing while preserving ecology, and these successes provide references for countries facing development dilemmas similar to those in China.

生态产品价值实现：中国实践的经验教训

第70届联合国大会通过《2030年可持续发展议程》，标志着人类进入了迈向可持续社会的新时代。生态系统和社会经济系统构成了一个更为宏大和复杂的系统，社会经济要素和生态要素之间存在着密切的关系。生态产品价值的实现对实现可持续发展目标具有基础性和复杂性的作用。通过文献综述和相关领域的实践经验，以及对中国不同地理位置三个典型案例的分析，我们发现“生态资源变生态资产、拥有资本变股本、户主变股东”的改革方式拓宽了生态产品价值实现的机会。具体而言，可以通过生态保护补偿、生态产业化经营、生态资源产权交易等方式实现生态价值的转换。生态产品价值的实现，为有效应对气候变化、提高生态系统质量和稳定性、促进公平、实现可持续发展提供了新的模式和实践。中国的经验和做法在保护生态的同时，改善了居民的福祉和经济状况，为面临类似发展困境的国家提供了借鉴。
