Improving Air Quality

135.         The Government's air quality policies are premised on protection of public health. We strive to improve air quality on all fronts, through better co-ordination of relevant policies on environmental protection, energy, transport and planning, as well as co-operation with Guangdong. Our target is to broadly achieve the new air quality objectives by 2020. Over the past six months, we have made substantial progress, including setting the emission reduction targets with Guangdong for 2015 and 2020, and enacting legislation to further tighten the emission caps for power plants for the years beyond 2017. Our next priority will be improving roadside air quality.
