Chinese legislators and political advisors spotlighted environmental sustainability this week during the Two Sessions, signaling strong momentum for green policy shifts. Deputies to the National People’s Congress (NPC) and members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) submitted 604 ecological protection proposals at the third session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee, representing 12.1% of all motions filed.
The proposals focus on practical measures to enhance air quality, biodiversity protection, and sustainable urban development. One CPPCC member emphasized the need to 'harmonize industrial growth with natural conservation' through technological innovation and stricter environmental regulations.
This surge in eco-focused policymaking aligns with China's broader climate goals, including its carbon neutrality pledge. Analysts note the discussions reflect growing public demand for cleaner living environments and international expectations for climate leadership.
