The new quality productive forces refer to advanced productivity primarily driven by technological innovation. Emerging from China's existing practices of high-quality development， they willin turn propel new practices of high-quality development. These forces serve as the key driver for green，low-carbon， and high-quality development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt， where the comprehensive green transformation is both an imperative and an inherent requirement for its socioeconomic progressWhile developing new quality productive forces presents opportunities for high-quality growth in the Yangtze River Economic Belt， it also entails deep-seated challenges. To leverage these forces in driving and sustaining a full-scale green and low-carbon transition，efforts must be grounded in reality，prioritizing joint conservation，innovating industrial transformation models，and establishing a modern energy system.To strengthen the supporting mechanisms for this transition，it is necesary to refine incentive policies，innovate long一 term governance frameworks，and improve guidance mechanisms. In addition，continuously optimizing the policy toolkit for green productivity development willhelp forge new production relations compatible with newquality productive forces.

The Historical Processand Fundamental Experience of CPC'sLeadership in Environmental Protection Publicity since the Reform and Opening Up ? Liu Jingamp; Qin Chunyar

Environmental protection publicity，as an important means of popularizing environmental knowledge， awakening environmental awareness，cultivating ecological ethics，and shaping ecological behavior，constitutes a vital part of environmental protection efforts.It plays a fundamental and leading role in the construction of socialist ecological civilization in China. Since the reform and opening up，the specific practice of the CPC in leading environmental protection publicity has gone through a process of gradual normalization，institutionalizationand socialization，which can be roughly divided into five stages： the initial stage （1979-1983），the preliminary expansion stage（1984-1991），the further development stage（1992-2001）， the in depth development stage（2002-2O11），and the vigorous development stage（2012 to the present）. During this process，there have been significant changes in the methods，media，content， participating entity，and purposes of the Party's leadership in environmental protection publicity. These changes have promoted the widespread improvement of public environmental awareness and the development of China's environmental protection cause. The fundamental experience can be summarized as follows： upholding the Party's overall leadership in environmental protection publicity，adhering to a people-centered approach to environmental protection campaigns，and strengthening institutional frameworks to improve environmental protection publicity.

“We Should Approach Nature from a Postmodern Ecological Perspective”：An Interview with Professor Wang Ning ? Wang Ning amp; Long Qilir

Professor Wang Ning of Shanghai Jiao Tong University，formerly a professor at Peking University and Tsinghua University，served as the President of the Chinese Comparative Literature Association.He is currently the Vice President of the Chinese Asociation for Theory of Literature and Art and a review expert for the Chinese Literature panel of the National Social Science Fund of China.In 2Ooo，he was granted the Special Government Alowance by the State Council.In 2O10，he was elected as a member of the Latin American Academy of Sciences，and in2013，asa foreign member of the European Academy of Sciences. He has independently led and completed over ten national and provincial-level research projects，including the key project“Marxism and World Literature Studies”sponsored by the National Social Science Fund. With profound expertise in modernity theory， postmodernism， globalization and cultural studies，world literature，and translation studies，he has exerted extensive influence in the international humanities and social sciences community. Since the early 21st century，Wang Ning has been committed to introducing cuttingedge Western ecological theories into China while promoting Chinese ecocritical achievements globally. He has also reconstructed traditional ecocriticism，expanding ecological literary criticism into ecological cultural criticism， playing a pivotal role in the development of contemporary Chinese ecocriticism. At the invitation of the Journal of Poyang Lake，Professor Long Qilin from the School of Humanities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University conducted an academic interview with Professor Wang Ning on frontier topics related to ecological civilization and ecocriticism. Professor Wang Ning reflected on his ecocritical journey since the early 199Os and shared his insights on key issues in current ecocriticism.He emphasized that ecological literature and criticism should be comprehensively understood within the broader context of ecological civilization construction.The scope of ecocriticism should be limited to examining and studying the natural environment and its species，without conflating it with posthumanist criticism.When applying ecocritical theory to interpret Chinese literary works and phenomena，it is essential to contextualize them in order to construct an ecocritical discourse with national characteristics.Furthermore，he argued that there is no inherent contradiction between Chinese-style modernization and ecological protection. In advancing modernization， China must act within its means，avoiding the waste of finite natural resources. Only in this way can sustainable development be achieved. Under the impact of contemporary technology，the traditional concept of“Man\"（with a capital “M\"）has evolved into a“posthuman”，and traditional humanism has transformed into“posthumanism\". Therefore，he advocated approaching nature from a postmodern ecological perspective，which should be a primary focus of current ecocriticism.

Wang Ning and Contemporary Chinese Ecocriticism

? Long Qilin amp; JiMengqi

Wang Ning is a renowned literary theorists，humanities scholars，and cultural activists in contemporary Chineseacademia.Beginning his work in ecocriticism in the late 2Oth century，he introduced Western ec ocritical theories extensively to Chinese academia in the early 21st century and tirelesly promoted the dissemination and creative transformation of ecocriticism in both domestic and international academic circles.The immediate motivation behind Wang Ning's engagement in ecocriticism stems from the environmental destruction and ecological crises brought by industrialization and globalization，while the fundamental motivation comes from his conscientious commitment as a humanities scholar to the responsibility of ecological civilization construction. Additionaly，the prominence of ecological issues in the“post-theory” era further spurred his attention to and research on ecocriticism. Wang Ning's ecocriticism is primarily manifested in four areas： postmodern ecological environmental ethics in the context of globalization， ecotranslatology，the animal turn in the post-theory era，and comparative studies of Chineseand Western ecoliterature.His ecocriticism exhibits distinct academic characteristics： a global perspective and profound theoretical grounding，an emphasis on exploring traditional Chinese ecological political thought，efforts to bridge Chinese and Western ecoliterature and ecocriticism，and the expansion of ecocriticism into cultural criticism.He has made important contributions to the construction of a contemporary ecological criticism theory system with Chinese characteristics.

Rethinking the Risks of Technological Singularityand Biopolitical Issues in the Anthropocene

? Xu Lifan

The technological turmoil has brought the world into the Anthropocene era，where “human wil\" plays a key role.The interplayof technology，capital and politics has led to metabolic rifts，spatial ruptures and technological discontinuities.These disruptions have not only changed the operating logic of natural ecosystems，but also profoundly affected the essence of human life and the conditions of human existence. The rootlessness of technology，the personification of capital and the panoramic political surveillance constitute the core issues of biopolitics in the context of the Anthropocene，highlighting the erosion of life by technological alienation，capital exploitation and power surveilance.In the future，it is essential torethink the relationships between technology and life，capital and humanity，and power and freedom.This cals for reconstructing the order of the technological community，curbing the exploitative logic of capital technology and preventing the singularity risks of technological politicization，and exploring a new path in the ruptured world that can both guarantee the dignity of life and achieve sustainable development.

TheEthical Risksof Unilateral Climate Engineeringand China's Countermeasures ? Lu Yuanqin

Climate engineering refers to large-scale human intervention in the Earth's climate system to address climate change，and it has become a new trend and batlefield in global climate action. Climate engineering has the technical possbility of unilateral implementation. In recent years，under the guise of “l(fā)egitimacy” promoted byanti-globalization discourse，the probability of unilateral climate engineering as an option for individual countries orregions toaddress climate change has increased.However，unilateral climateengineering would amplify the inherent drawbacks of climate engineering， posing numerous ethical risks to human society. These risks are as folows： greater disturbances to the global climate with increased uncertainty; disregard for the interests of island nations and weak countries with isues of ecological justice caused by theincreased probabilityof ecological disastersand climate refugees;anobvious intergenerational justice issue with temperature debt further accumulated; increased probability of technological deviation with a higher potential of geopolitical climate disputes and climate wars that willtrigger global justice issues.To safeguard the survival and development rights of China and other developing countries，three approaches can be taken to address the challenges posed by unilateral climate engineering.First， global cooperation on climateengineering should be promoted to increase the risk costs of unilateral climate engineering; second， systematic research on the risks of climate engineering can be deepened to provide sientific support against unilateral climate engineering; third，counter-climate engineering science and technology needs to be explored to provide necessary tools for national interests.

Ecopolitical CritiqueofCapitalism's Anti-ClimateStance

Climate change is a “delayed side effect”of capitalism's anti-climate stance.Whether in terms of the total amount of greenhouse gas emisions，the benefits obtained from such emissions， or the financial and technological capabilities accumulated due to emissions，the developed capitalist countries should bear the greatest responsibility for addressng the global climate crisis.However，capitalist democracy does not consider the interests of nature and the environment at all Climate change reveals the destructive consequences of the capitalist growth paradigm. Economic expansion and unlimited growth of profits are the eternal goals pursued by capitalism，and there is a fundamental contradiction between this goal and the limited natural resources of the earth. The green capitalism strategy is in nature a superficial remedy rather than an effective solution.It fails to address the natural growth limit of capitalism，the“Jevons paradox\"between technological innovation and consumption growth，or the contradiction between regional and global environmental isues.The capitalist system is the true root cause of the climate crisis.Only by choosing a new direction toward a community with a shared future for humanity，common well-being，and global justice， namely，can we truly resolve the global climate crisis.

Exploring the Social Mobilization Mechanism in Civil River Chief Governance Practice：AField StudyBasedonS TowninAnhui Province ? Wei Jing

The civil river chief initiative，as a way for local governments to absorb social forces to participate in river and lake governance，provides assistance and support for administrative river chiefs in their work. However，this initiative also faces problems such as imperfect mobilization mechanism and insignificant operational effectiveness. Through a field investigation of public participation in water environment governance in S Town，Anhui Province，this article explores the development practice and internal logic of the local civil river chief initiative，finding that the social mobilization mechanism plays an important role.By employing differentiated mobilization strategies for different villagers，the initiativeachieves mass mobilization through economic incentives and cadre mobilization through honor incentives.At the same time，the village's social foundation formed by the vilagers’self-governance system and the rural acquaintance networks guarantees the functioning of civil river chiefs in S town，resulting in positive practical outcomes. In order to overcome the challnges in water environment governance in terms of the systematization and specialization of water governance，the diversification of participating subjects，and social coordination，it is suggested to optimize strategies from three aspects.First，itis essntial to apply systematic thinking to the effective governance of the water environment. Second，the general public should be encouraged to participate in water environment governance.Last but not least，the concept of collective responsibility for water governance should be strengthened across the whole society.

Reflectiononand Reconstruction of the Relationship between Humansand Nature：AReview of Li Qingsong'sEcological ProseWork VisibleNortheast ? He Jiahuan

Li Qingsong's latest ecological prose work Visible Northeast is a reflection on and reconstruction of the relationship between humans and nature.He depicts the vibrant ecological landscape of Northeast China's forest regions through meticulous natural history naratives，explores the inherent beauty and value of natural objects，and expresses his admiration and reverence for nature.At the same time，he also focuses on theplight of humans in his historical review of the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature，revealing the direction of human destiny and spiritual landscape in the changing times.Li Qingsong criticizes the instrumental rational thinking of anthropocentrism through his reflection on the relationship between humans and nature，actively seeking mutual benefit and coexistence between humans and nature while presenting and continuing the culture and memory of Northeast China's forest regions through literature.

Geopoeticsof“AllThingsasNature\"：OnLi Qingsong'sEcological ProseWork VisibleNortheast

? Li Yaopeng

Visible Northeast，Li Qingsong's latest ecological prose work， embodies his spiritual aspirations and his quest for cultural roots.By portraying the northeastern forest land in a romantic and melancholy way，he not only writes about the naturalistic cosmic wonders with a biophilic sensitivity，but also captures the lingering glow of historical and ecological meditation. Li Qingsong constructs a Geopoetics where flora and fauna serve as focal points of the spiritual world.He criticizes the“human sin” in the era of industrial revolution with a tender nostalgia while seeking an open path toward “poetic dwelling” in the call of nature and civilization.

AReviewand ProspectofResearchontheRootCausesofEcological Crisis

The study of the root causes of ecological crisis is a theoretical prerequisite for understanding and addresing global ecological challenges. Current academic discourse on the isue mainly focuses on two aspects： first，regarding anthropocentrism，desire-driven materialism，and instrumental rationalityas the conceptual rootsof ecologicalcrisis;second，atributing its institutional roots tocapitalism，patriarchy，and hierarchy.However，such root-cause analysis has also been criticized as divergent，radicalized，and essentialist.If we\"re-problematize” the root causes of ecological crisis，the key concern is not to question the fundamental or multidimensional characteristics of modern society in order to explain ecological crisis from these ready-made features，but to interrogate how modern society utilizes nature.Only through this line of inquiry can the answers we derive have unquestionable direct relevance to addressing the ecological crisis.

An Overview of the Research on the Acclimatisation Society of Victoria from the Perspective of Environmental History ? Qiao Lifang

The organizational practices of Acclimatisation Society of Victoria and its experiments in the introduction and domestication of plant and animal species have had asignificant impact on the history of species exchange in Australiaand the birth of the modern zoo.Since the 198Os，under the influence of the Australian environmental movement and the trend of environmental history，there has been a large number of research results on the Acclimatisation Society of Victoria in the international academic community， with an expanding research team establishing its prominent position in the academia of Australia’s environmental history. Initially，influenced by the “Columbian Exchange” perspective，researchers mainly focused on the exchange of species. Later，scholars adopted the ecological imperialism perspective，examining the transnational interactions between the Society and other similar organizations. Subsequently，they followed the socio-cultural turn， paying more atention to the Society’s conception of nature and its impact on urban landscapes and residents.More recently，they have begun to rethink the existing studies，putting forward new opinions in terms of theories，materials and spatial scope of the research.The shift in paradigms and perspectives in the study of the Aclimatisation Society of Victoria can be regarded as a microcosm of the development of environmental history in the past 40 years.
