and artificial intelligence are growing to be vital means to modernize the system and
capacity for eco-environment governance. In recent years, a host of major IT-based
projects have been implemented, including the National Environmental Information
and Statistical Capacity Building Project and the Eco-Environment Big Data Project.
Consequently, the eco-environment business network has been set up and put into
use, the eco-environment monitoring network has made significant headway, the ecoenvironment information and resource center went online, the IT application in ecoenvironmental business was further expanded, the eco-environmental IT application
