Closely focusing on the theory and practical dilemma of human society's sustainable development, this book explores China's practice of building ecological civilization. From the perspectives of environment, carrying capacity, industrialization, urbanization, relevance of natural resources, renewable energy revolution, the ceiling effect of development, etc., it clarifies the relevance and distinction between ecological civilization and industrial civilization，reveals that ecological civilization is a new social civilization formation compared to industrial civilization，and shows the inevitability and universal applicability of China’s practice of building ecological civilization to upgrade industrial civilization, thus demonstrating the scientificity and objectivity of ecological civilization development paradigm. Based on historical research, this book interprets the successful practice and theoretical innovation of China's ecological civilization. In theory, it ground-breakingly reveals the limits of industrial civilization's development paradigm from the perspective of political economy; in practice, through telling "Chinese stories", it demonstrates the challenges, achievements and features of building ecological civilization in China, reflecting the conflicts between China's resources endowment and its development demand and the inevitability of seeking harmony between them. This book also points out that China's building of ecological civilization positively contributes to global sustainable development，in theory and in practice.
