China News Service, Beijing, December 8 (Reporter Du Yan) During the “XIII Five-Year Plan” period, the air quality in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has made significant improvements. The annual average concentration of fine particles (PM2.5) in 2019 compares with 2015. A drop of 36%, and the region shared the results of the improvement of air quality. The annual mean concentration of PM2.5 in Beijing decreased from 80.6 μg / m3 in 2015 to 42 μg / m3 in 2019. From January to October 2020, the cumulative concentration of PM2.5 in Beijing was 39 μg / m3. The concentration in cities “2 + 26” remained optimal.
This was introduced by Liu Xianshu, chief engineer of the Beijing Municipal Office of Ecology and Environment, at a press conference held today.
Promote and improve the regional cooperation mechanism
Liu Xianshu said that the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is an important national strategy, and the protection of the ecological environment is one of the three key areas that have led the progress. During the period of the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, Beijing actively promoted deep cooperation and continuous advancement in various aspects, such as coordination mechanisms, unified legislation, unified standards, and joint law enforcement. The results of the coordinated governance have been important and the air quality in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has made significant improvements. .
Beijing took the lead in establishing the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas air pollution prevention and control team together with seven provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and related ministries and commissions. On this basis, in 2018, the state established the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas leading air pollution prevention and control group to coordinate and promote the key tasks of regional air pollution control. In accordance with the requirements of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cooperation mechanism, Beijing actively promotes the development of various tasks.
All three venues promote unified regional legislation and unified standards. On May 1, 2020, the three venues will simultaneously implement the “Regulation on the prevention and control of emissions from motor vehicles and non-road mobile machinery” as the first collaborative legislative project to implement the coordinated development strategy Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. Focusing on common areas, the core clauses and key measures are consistent, providing a solid guarantee for the coordinated treatment of “mobile source” pollution in the region in accordance with the law; In April 2017, the three locations jointly issued the first unified environmental protection standard “Building Coatings” and Standard Volatile Organic Compound Content Limit Adhesives “to reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds.
Strengthen joint prevention and control of air pollution
Liu Xianshu said that under the unified deployment of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the three places have established a regional heavy air pollution early warning consultation platform, and regular early warning consultations are held to jointly deal with air pollution. intense.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment and other relevant ministries and commissions, Beijing and other relevant provinces and municipalities have jointly issued a comprehensive action plan for the control of air pollution in autumn and winter for four consecutive years starting in the autumn and winter 2017-2018, and they continue to promote the improvement of the regional air quality in key periods, in order to reduce the regional weight. The pollution process plays an active role.
Strongly promote coordinated regional governance
Liu Xianshu said that during the period of the “XIV Five-Year Plan”, Beijing will continue to do a good job in protecting the city’s ecological environment, while constantly promoting coordinated regional governance, further improving the quality of the regional ecological environment, and lays the foundation for building beautiful Beijing.
One is to deepen joint prevention and control of regional air pollution. Improve joint forecasting and early warning mechanism of heavy air pollution, strengthen the emergency link of heavy air pollution and jointly respond to heavy air pollution.
The second is to promote joint protection and governance of key river basins. Improve the regional water pollution prevention and control linkage mechanism, continue to jointly monitor water quality in key watersheds, and deeply promote joint governance of watersheds.
The third is to strengthen cooperation in the application of environmental law. Further consolidate the law enforcement liaison mechanism of the ecological environment departments at the Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei junction, focusing on the prevention and control of air and water pollution, and work together to do a good job in environmental governance and ecological control in the crossing area.
The fourth is to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation. Continue to strengthen scientific research, fully exchange work experience and further conduct information exchange on advanced regional ecological environment management technologies and management experience.
