Measures should be taken to help local governments develop a stronger sense of
responsibility for the environmental quality within their jurisdictions. To implement specific tasks and measures for the achievement of the national targets of
green development, local governments shall be encouraged to take the initiative to understand fully the requirements proposed by higher-level authorities
in advance and allocate relevant tasks and targets accordingly. Local governments are advised to seek advice from higher-level environmental protection
authorities before making their own development plans, so as to ensure the
consistency between targets and tasks at various levels. Local governments at
all levels should work to transform pressure for the solution of problems related
to resources and the environment into motivations for green development and
improvement of environmental quality.
(3) Promote collaboration between different administrative areas for green development. In addition to local authorities’ efforts for green development based on
local conditions, it is also necessary to strengthen cooperation between regions,
establish a long-term mechanism for inter-regional collaboration for pollution
control, and conduct inter-regional cooperation in ecological remediation and
environmental governance.
(4) Let better developed regions spearhead green development efforts. Better
developed regions should pioneer in the pursuit of green development to
accumulate experience and serve as demonstrations for other regions.
(5) Unleash the enthusiasm of local governments, especially basic-level governments, for green development in addition to making plans. In particular, we
must make full use of people’s wisdom and creativity and establish a long-term
mechanism for market-driven green development.
