The release of the “Opinions” comes at a time when China’s economic and social development has entered a stage of high-quality development that accelerates greening and low-carbonization.

To address this, the “Opinions” call for coordinated efforts in industrial structural adjustment, pollution control, ecological protection, and response to climate change.
The document sets specific targets, including a decrease in major pollutant emissions by 2027 and stabilization and decline of carbon emissions by 2035. It also aims to fully form a new pattern of land and space development and protection by 2035 and achieve deep decarbonization in key areas by the middle of the century. To achieve these goals, the “Opinions” call for the acceleration of green development methods, optimization of land space development and protection, and the promotion of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
In terms of industrial development, the “Opinions” emphasize the need to accelerate the green transformation of development methods and promote the deep integration of industrial digitalization, intelligence, and greening.

Furthermore, the document highlights the importance of continued and in-depth advancement of pollution prevention and control, particularly in key industries such as steel, cement, coking, and coal-fired boilers.
To support the construction of a Beautiful China, the “Opinions” also propose the improvement of the market-based allocation system of resources and environmental factors, the strengthening of financial support, and the establishment of a system for extracting and using corporate ecological and environmental protection expenses.
The release of the “Opinions” demonstrates China’s commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development. It provides a comprehensive framework for the construction of a Beautiful China and sets clear targets and policy measures to achieve this vision.
