会上强调了支持并加强党在环保检查中的领导作用的必要性，应继续发挥党作为政权工具的检查杠杆作用，并进一步地提出当地政局和部门的追责制度，让他们为推动建设美丽中国尽到自己的政治职责。

It stressed the importance of having the courage to tackle tough issues, persistently uncover and earnestly address problems, and enhance the effectiveness of implementing the Party Central Committee's decisions and plans on ecological civilization.

On the disciplinary inspection, the meeting said some problems had been uncovered by inspection teams that went to central Party and state institutions. These problems must be seriously rectified, it added.

Noting that the year 2025 is pivotal for expanding disciplinary inspection to cover all areas, the meeting said the focus must be placed on the implementation of the Party Central Committee's decisions and plans to provide strong guarantees for advancing Chinese modernization.
