Development Focus
- To vigorously take forward ecological conservation, establish the approach of green development, implement rigorous ecological protection system, promote the adoption of green and low-carbon production methods and lifestyles as well as modes of urban development and operation, and facilitate sustainable development of the Greater Bay Area.
- To put into practice ideas on ecological conservation, make full use of modern information technology, achieve the smart management of city clusters, bring more convenience to the lives of people in the Greater Bay Area, raise the quality of living of residents, and build a beautiful bay area that is ecologically safe, environmentally attractive, socially stable and culturally vibrant.
- The co-operation among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao should be deepened and broadened, the internal driving forces for development should be further enhanced in the region, and the framework for an international first-class bay area and world-class city cluster that is vibrant and highly innovative with an optimised industrial structure, a smooth flow of various factors and a pleasant ecological environment should essentially be formed.
- To strengthen joint prevention and control of air pollution in the region, implement more stringent clean shipping policies, make concerted and coordinated efforts in reducing the emission of various pollutants, and take coordinated preventive and control measures against pollution caused by ozone and fine suspended particulates (PM2.5).
- To conduct joint study among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao to find out the formation and transportation characteristics of ozone in the Greater Bay Area with a view to providing a scientific basis for formulating policies to improve regional ozone pollution.
- To enhance the capability of regional air pollution and extreme weather monitoring and forecasting and strengthen the co-operation among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in combating climate change as well as joint prevention and control of air pollution.
- To step up co-operation in ecological and environmental protection among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and enhance ecological and environmental systems in a concerted manner.
