| With the vigorous development of digital technologies, the construction of ecological civilization has demonstrated characteristics of digitalization and intellectualization, giving rise to a new paradigm of digital ecological civilization in the process of advancing Chinese modernization. Oriented by the concept of digital-intelligent integration, guaranteed by improvements in the legal system and institutional mechanisms, and propelled by digital-intelligent technology, the digital ecological civilization facilitates the integrated development of "ecological digitalization" and "digital ecologization. " Currently, the construction of China's digital ecological civilization still encounters practical challenges, including limitations in governance philosophy, bottlenecks in institutional safeguards, and inadequate technological supply. This reflects the essential requirement of Chinese modernization to realize harmony between humanity and nature. It is therefore crucial to reinforce the steering role of governance concepts, establish long-term governance mechanisms and stimulate the vitality of digital-intelligent technological innovation, thereby fostering the prosperous growth of digital ecological civilization. |
