First, the Chinese government has adopted three major policies: "prevention first,
combined with prevention"; "those who pollute should be the ones who clean up the
pollution"; and "strengthening environmental management", and implemented the
strategy of sustainable development, integrating ecological civilization and green
development into all aspects of economic and social development.
Secondly, the Chinese government has introduced a series of environmental
protection policies and regulations such as the Environmental Protection Law of the
People's Republic of China to jointly carry out strict supervision and law enforcement
of environmental protection with governments at all levels. At the same time, it has
opened up channels for the public to report environmental problems and encouraged
the news media to strengthen the disclosure and exposure of environmental damage
and illegal acts.
In addition, China has actively promoted concrete environmental protection measures
such as returning farmland to forests, water and soil conservation, afforestation,
desertification control and marine pollution control, so as to remediate and improve of
existing environmental problems.
Also, China has increased financial and policy support for the environmental
protection industry and encouraged innovation in environmental science and
technology, in an effort to eliminate ecological damage and environmental pollution
from the root causes.
Last but not least, the Chinese government supports and actively participates in
environmental affairs organized by the United Nations, maintains close cooperative
relations with environmental protection organizations around the world, conducts
international exchanges and cooperation on a number of environmental issues, and
has signed a series of environmental protection conventions, Including the
Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention on Biological Diversity,

Flora, the Plant Protection Agreement for South East Asia and the Pacific, the United
Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and so on.
