Facing the sustained heavy smog at the end of 2016, Chinese government took a series of strict policies and actions to mitigate air pollution in 2017, especially in Jing-Jin-Ji region. The main policies/actions included: 1) Continue to implement super-clean emission standards in power generation sector and begin to expand to other industrial sectors 2) Eradicate small factories which don’t have adequate pollution control measures 3) Begin to treat “colorful tail-smoke” coming out of wet-desulfurization 4) Stop or halt production for some heavy-energy consumption plants in winter season in Jing-Jin-Ji region 5) Change coal to gas for household heating 6) Send special environmental supervisory teams to provinces to ensure enforcement and policy implementation These policies and actions achieved effects and the air quality in the most of the monitored cities has been improved.

Join us on an in-depth dialogue with Mr. Tonny Xie from Clean Air Alliance of China (CAAC) and Dr. He Ping, President of International Fund for China’s Environment (IFCE) to review the major action plans that the Chinese government was doing during the past year and the challenges that we are facing towards a greener future.
