Yearender: 2020 in review, China pursues green growth despite COVID-19
The year 2020 witnessed a series of remarkable moves in China's history, including a 10-year fishing ban along the Yangtze River, a total ban on importing solid waste, and the conclusion of a three-year action plan on fighting against air pollution.
China has put ecological protection at the heart of its policy considerations and made notable achievements in pursuing green growth this year, even in the face of the great pressure of navigating the COVID-19 slump.
These efforts indicate an evolving landscape of environmental conservation and regulation in China, as the world's second-largest economy explores a sustainable development path in which economic growth and environmental protection can move forward hand-in-hand.
With environmental issues emphasized in the tone-setting annual economic meeting in mid-December, as well as Chinese leadership's proposals for formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035, efforts on green economic growth are expected to secure an important position in China in 2021 and beyond.
