（经济观察）既要发展也要蓝天，中国力求“双赢”

Core Viewpoint - During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's GDP increased by 30% while the average concentration of PM2.5 decreased by 20%, demonstrating that economic development and air quality improvement can coexist and achieve a "win-win" situation [1][2]. Group 1: Economic and Environmental Achievements - The number of cities meeting air quality standards increased from 206 to 246, a growth of 20% [1]. - By 2025, 29 cities with GDP exceeding 1 trillion RMB are expected to have an average PM2.5 concentration of 27.8 micrograms per cubic meter, which is better than the national average and shows significant improvement during the "14th Five-Year Plan" [1]. Group 2: Air Quality Improvement Strategies - Key strategies for improving air quality include upgrading key industries, eliminating outdated production capacities, and promoting green transportation, with nearly 30 million high-emission old vehicles being phased out and over 50% market penetration of new energy vehicles [1][2]. - Implementation of source reduction, functional reduction, and systematic reduction to control pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides [2]. - Establishment of a comprehensive air pollution emission standard system and regional joint prevention mechanisms, with 1,734 national air quality monitoring stations and over 12,000 local monitoring stations providing data support for pollution control [2]. Group 3: Future Plans and Challenges - In 2026, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment plans to introduce the "Air Quality Continuous Improvement Action Plan (2026-2030)" to build a distinctive air environment management system in China [3]. - The focus will be on high-quality promotion of ultra-low emission transformations in key industries, aiming to complete the ultra-low emission transformation of 100 million tons of cement clinker and 50 million tons of coking capacity by 2026 [3]. - Continuous reduction of pollutant emissions in key industries and prevention of coal rebound will be essential for air quality improvement during the "15th Five-Year Plan" [3].
