北京二十年大氣污染治理成效與經(jīng)驗

2018.9.14 10:30-12:00

舊金山四季酒店 Yerba Buena Meeting Room

Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, 757 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

 

本邊會將邀請曾與北京市合作的國際伙伴和專家，探討：如何將北京市治理大氣污染的經(jīng)驗分享給國際上其他面臨相似挑戰(zhàn)的城市，以及如何將城市傳統(tǒng)大氣污染治理工作與氣候變化減緩行動相結合，制定城市下一步的空氣質量策略。

 

| 主辦單位 |  聯(lián)合國環(huán)境署、北京市環(huán)保局、加州空氣資源委員會、清華大學、能源基金會、國際清潔交通委員會、宜可城—地方可持續(xù)發(fā)展協(xié)會

 

 

Green is Gold, and clean air is health and wealth. There is increasing awareness of the multiple benefits from reducing air pollution. Efforts to improve air quality improves health, supports sustainable development, and protects the climate. Cities are at the forefront of these efforts and are critically important in the development and implementation of clean air actions.

In 1998 Beijing began an intensified air pollution control program, and over the last 20 years the city has implemented a series of measures including energy infrastructure optimization, coal-fired pollution control, and vehicle emission controls. Air quality improved in a sustainable way alongside rapid economic development and city expansion. From these efforts new experiences and lessons were learned.

The Global Climate Action Summit provides an opportunity to review how a city like Beijing has built an air quality management system thatguarantees sustainable and effective development and implementation of air pollution control programs, how scientific research and new technology helps support policy making, and the effectiveness of the program.

 

This side event will discuss:

A soon to be released report by Tsinghua University and international experts on the evolution of pollution interventions and future measures to tackle air pollution more effectively.

How lessons from Beijing’s experience can be shared with cities around the world facing similar air pollution issues.

Recommendations on how to integrate traditional air pollution control and climate change mitigation for the city to consider in its next air quality strategy.

The event will bring together partners who have worked with Beijing.

UN Environment has long cooperated with Beijing, a relationship that started with an assessment of Beijing’s performance of its Green Olympics commitment during the preparation and hosting of the 2008 Olympic Games. UN Environment has since kept close track on Beijing’s air pollution control process and progress.

California has built a close relationship and long cooperation with Beijing on air pollution control since the beginning of this century. The cooperation extends to climate change, scientific innovation, and other areas.

The international organizations, Energy Foundation China, ICCT, ICLEI have been involved in the program with Beijing over the past decade, and have witnessed the changes happened over that time.
