Science,technology and environmental protection are closely connected with each other.The term "environmental protection" emerged along with the development of human science and technology,as well as ecological resources consumption in different industrial revolutions.It has been nearly 40 years since environmental non-govermental organizations initially started until today.The emergence and development are basically synchronous with the process of reform and open-up.It is promoted by combined efforts from government support,scientific and technological progress,inherent values and social concern.It is also practical reflection from the concept of green development,scientific and technological progress,and changes of time and values.Based on interdisciplinary research,the paper attempts to reveals inevitability and irreplaceability of emergence and development of environmental non-govermental organizations in the view of scientific and technological progress.Moreover,the paper discusses features of environmental non-govermental organizations,as well as scientific and technological progress and important support for the development of these organizations.On top of that,the paper elementary research framework,and proposes countermeasures and suggestions for the enhancing development of environmental non-govermental organizations in China based on scientific and technological progress.In Chapter One,through illustrating the the background and significance of the research,based on systematic summary of existing document research,this chapter proposes related thoughts and methods.As green development has increasingly become a social common understanding,the structural reform of "Small Government,Large Society "continues to deepen,the role and significance of environmental non-govermental organizations have been greatly enhanced and valued.The inevitability and irreplaceability of environmental non-govermental organizations are promoted by multiple reasons,including social progress,historical development,its inherent values,government failure theory and market failure theory.Moreover,this chapter reveals the internal relationship between instrumental reason and value reason,so as to stimulate emergence and development of these social organizations.In addition,environmental non-govermental organizations have undertaken increasingly important environmental protection projects,provided public products that government and companies fail to cover,built up planned and targeted organizational foundations for the general public to conduct environmental protection.Chapter Two analyzes support and restriction of ecological resources for scientific and technological progress,fulfillment and requirement of ecological civilization on scientific and technological progress,theoretical definition of environmental non-govermental organizations,important features of these social organization,as well as significant impacts of scientific and technological progress on environmental non-govermental organizations.It also clarifies the concept and features of Chinese environmental non-govermental organizations in the view of scientific and technological progress.Moreover,this chapter discusses that under the theoretical guidance of sustainable development and ecological civilization,it is necessary to connect green science and technology with multiple interested parties in ecological environment such as government,enterprises and the public,in order to form "community of environmental protection",and promote technical innovation,system innovation,management innovation,as well as project innovation in the global ecological environment.Chapter Three summarizes the development process of environmental non-govermental organizations in China.On top of it,through analysis method of bibliographic search and individual interview,according to related information in civil administration websites in different regions,database of civil environmental non-govermental organization platforms,as well as interviews on well-known people in environmental protection and public welfare,this chapter analyzes the basic situation and main issues occurred in environmental non-govermental organizations.In the 1970s,the first environmental non-govermental organization,in the broad sense,was set up by the Chinese government sector.As environmental problems worsened,more and more people have paid more attention to the cause of environmental protection,non-governmental organizations also keep on emerging.After constant accumulation and four stages of development,environmental non-govermental organizations in China have covered most areas of environmental protection work.They have become indispensable component in the cause of environmental protection.Chinese environmental non-govermental organizations have rapidly developed along with global technology,as well as constant improvement of reform and opening up.The Central Committee of CPC have also provided related professional opinions and guidance for environmental protection,as well as formulated laws and regulations,including environmental protection,R&D investment in environmental protection,registration and management of social organizations,fund-raising and donations.However,disadvantages still exist.In addition,Chinese environmental non-govermental organizations also face problems such as low social reputation,lack of excellent policies and regulations,capitals and funds,core members,low efficiency in management and operation etc.Chapter Four analyzes operation cases of representative environmental non-govermental organizations different countries and regions through synchronic analysis,summarizes the development approach of environmental non-govermental organizations in the view of scientific and technological progress.Moreover,the chapter focuses on profound impacts of ecological and environmental organizations from aspects of cultivating public awareness of environmental protection,conducting environmental protection activities in public,guiding corporate rationality of environmental protection,and participating in government policies on environmental protection.It also discusses scientific and technological progress and important support for environmental non-govermental organizations.Scientific and technological progress concerns progress in natural science 'and social science.Scientific and technological progress and support for environmental non-govermental organizations mainly involve two major aspects:environmental protection and technology,as well as scientific management.They not only provide support for "hard science" such as implementing environmental protection projects,ecological control techniques,pollution prevention and control,as well as research and development of new environment-friendly products,but also theoretical support for "soft science"such as external and internal management,organizational operation,governance structure,strategic planning,publicity and financing,as well as performance evaluation.In Chapter Five,based on Chinese national conditions,external construction of the circumstances and self organizational construction,it puts forward countermeasures and suggestions on technology promoting the development of Chinese environmental non-govermental organizations.With the fast development of new industrial revolution,Chinese environmental non-governental organizations should keep pace with rapid social changes,seek for sustainable organizational development and advanced means of scientific and technological progress,so as to achieve professional and leaping development.Specifically,related measures and suggestions include scientific and technological innovation concept facilitating legislative reforms,enhancing exterior environment conducive for environmental non-govermental organizations' development,setting up scientific and integrated ecological civilization system.Moreover,promote social recognition and supervision on environmental non-govermental organizations based on information public platform,app Internet,cloud computing and big data.environmental non-govermental organizations should deal with appeals of related interested parties based on scientific management system and comprehensive governance structure,so as to ensure efficient operation.They should also promote human resource teams with professional thought,gather specialized talents,enhance full-time staff and professional standards of environmental protection.In addition,environmental non-govermental organizations need to understand their roles as promoters and bridges,in order to stimulate industrial connections,set up platforms for participation,obtain long-term and stable fund support through technical marketing strategies,other marketing methods and resources,as well as multilateral science and technology cooperation.
