近日，中共中央办公厅、国务院办公厅印发了《关于全面推行河长制的意见》，并发出通知，要求各地区各部门结合实际认真贯彻落实。

　　《关于全面推行河长制的意见》全文如下。

The Nu River - known as the Salween in Thailand and the Thanlwin River in Burma - is a treasure of biodiversity and China's last free-flowing river. Through great educational efforts, China's budding environmental movement managed to stave off dam building plans on the river in 2004 and 2009. In 2013, the Chinese government announced new plans to build five hydropower plants on the undammed river. Since then, NGOs like Green Watershed, Green Earth Volunteers and International Rivers have worked hard to document the unique ecological value of the Nu River and the serious environmental and geological risks of the proposed dam cascade. These efforts have now been crowned with success: The Power and Hydropower Development Plans for the 13th Five-Year plan period (2016-2020), which China's State Energy Administration has just published, no longer include any dams on the Nu River. The plans identify the basins in which further hydropower projects are to be built.

长江拥有独特的生态系统，是我国重要的生态宝库。长江经济带更是横跨我国东中西三大区域，覆盖11个省市，人口和经济总量均超过全国的40%，生态地位重要、综合实力较强、发展潜力巨大。因此，我们要走出一条生态优先、绿色发展之路，让中华民族母亲河永葆生机活力——

Chinese companies invest enormously in the Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia. They serve their own commercial interests, and at the same time help local economies grow. Yet a complex local political environment often makes their work difficult. How should they communicate with local NGOs? How should they ease people's concerns and win over locals?

China’s plan to cut carbon emissions commits Beijing to a surge in construction of ecologically destructive hydropower dams that heralds the end of free-flowing rivers in the country, experts say.
