Version 0.06 (2023-12-24 14:01:06.495000)
updates: China's air quality has worsened this year, reversing a decade of progress towards cleaner skies. Levels of microscopic particles known as PM 2.5, which are harmful to health, increased by 7.7% compared to 2022. The rise in air pollution was concentrated in areas of China's coal and heavy industry hubs. China's economic reliance on coal and polluting heavy industries such as steel, aluminum, and cement contribute to its high levels of air pollution. Despite efforts to improve air quality, the average levels of air pollution nationwide remain five times above World Health Organization guidelines. China's coal mines have produced record volumes of coal this year to meet electricity demands. China's leader, Xi Jinping, has stated that coal will remain the mainstay of the Chinese power system in the near term. China has announced a plan to reduce fine particulate matter concentrations by 10% nationwide and 20% in Beijing and its surroundings between 2020 and 2025. The increase in pollution is attributed to an overall increase in human-caused emissions and unfavorable weather conditions. China is expected to see a four percent rise in fossil fuel CO2 emissions this year, with increases in coal, oil, and gas. Despite efforts to improve air quality, 80 percent of provincial capitals, including Beijing, recorded increased PM2.5 levels in 2023 compared to the previous year. Concerns have been raised about China's commitment to its emission reduction goals as there has been a recent increase in approvals for coal-fired power plants.
