New national environmental protection planning project eyes settlement of pollution
The national environmental protection planning project for the 2021 – 2030 period, with a vision to 2050, was announced at a ceremony held in a hybrid format on November 15 by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
The plan is flexible and forward-looking, focusing on early prevention and long-term management of environmental challenges. Key priorities include tackling pollution, improving environmental quality, and safeguarding sensitive areas to reduce negative impacts on both the environment and public health.
It also aims to direct the establishment of nature reserves and biodiversity conservation areas; form centralised waste treatment zones at the national, regional, and provincial levels; orient the development of national and provincial environmental monitoring and warning networks; and promote sustainable socio-economic development towards green economy, circular economy and low-carbon economy, which is harmonious with nature, and environmentally friendly, and actively responds to climate change.
