Summary/Abstract: The People’s Republic of China has undoubtedly made an unprecedented leap in civilisation over the past 40 years, lifting more than 850 million people out of extreme poverty. However, this tremendous progress has been paid by environmental degradation. In 2012 and 2013, Xi Jinping became General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of the People’s Republic of China successively. During the subsequent years of his rule, he consolidated in his hands a power that no other politician since Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping possessed. At the same time, he faced the challenge of a national and international climate crisis. According to Xi Jinping, to address this critical situation, it is necessary to make China an ecological civilization. This article characterises the idea of ecological civilisation as well as shows the most important actions taken by Xi Jinping to implement it.
