Abstract: One of the costs for China's rapid economic growth is the destruction of the ecological environment,and urban environmental problems have received public attention. However,rural environmental issues still face the lack of awareness. Rural areas in China are confronted with three environmental challenges: increased pollution,transfer of pollution from urban areas to rural areas,and the degradation of rural ecological environment. There are various causes for such result,not only the extensive development of economy at earlier stages,but more importantly,the unequal urban-rural dual structure and the current mode of environmental governance. If we can not change the mode of environmental governance, or achieve coordinated urban and rural development,the rural environmental issues will not be solved with economic development. Thus,the core issue in improving the environment lies with the innovation of environmental governance against the backdrop of ecological civilization,namely coordinated urban and rural development and environmental governance with public participation.
