China is making significant strides in ecological progress, paving the way for high-quality development. 🎉🌍
Minister of Ecology and Environment Huang Runqiu emphasized the interdependent relationship between sustainable growth and environmental protection at the recent National People's Congress.
In a remarkable achievement, over 90% of the nation's surface-water bodies now boast excellent water quality, a first in 2024! 💧✅
With more than 44,000 environmental control units designated, China is reinforcing its commitment to a greener future. The ministry has also rolled out 22 new measures to support private enterprises in their eco-friendly initiatives.
Furthermore, the development of the carbon market has led to a significant reduction in carbon emission intensity in the coal-fired power sector, saving enterprises around $4.8 billion in carbon reduction costs. 💰🌱
By implementing strict regulations on pollutant discharge and assisting businesses to meet emission standards, China is not just talking the talk but walking the walk towards a sustainable and prosperous future. 🚀🌟
