During institutional reforms in 2009, the Zhejiang Development and Reform Commission created a Climate Change Division, which was put in charge of province-wide climate change work. In June 2012, the Commission Offce of Public Sector Reform of Zhejiang Province approved the establishment of the Zhejiang Center for Climate Change and Low-Carbon Development Cooperation, which is responsible for specifc work related to climate change and low-carbon development. In October 2010, the provincial government released the Zhejiang Provincial Action Plan on Climate Change, which specifed climate change goals, key sectors and policy measures through 2012 for the entire province. In November 2013, the provincial government issued the provincial Implementation Plan for Controlling Greenhouse Gas Emissions, which required that CO2 emissions per unit of GDP in Zhejiang to be reduced by 19% from 2010 levels by 2015 and allocated goals to its 11 cities, work in the national low-carbon pilot cities of Hangzhou, Ningbo and Wenzhou to be completed before 2015 with a batch of model low-carbon industrial parks and communities as well as low-carbon technologies and products to be incorporated into the national register, and the initial stages of a GHG emissions statistics and accounting system were begun. In May 2014, the Zhejiang Development and Reform Commission issued its Climate Change Plan for 2013-2020, proposing that all central government directives on CO2 intensity goals be achieved by 2020 and that the use of non-fossil fuels (including hydroelectric power from other provinces) be increased to around 18% of all energy usage, forest coverage be maintained at above 61% and that forest stock be maintained at 344 million cubic meters. At the same time, all actions need to effectively control the overall growth of GHG emissions and emissions from industrial processes, as well as implement conservation and carbon reduction measures in industry, buildings, transportation and public facilities. Measure Greenhouse Gas Emissions to Support Low-Carbon浙江“量身定碳” Decision Making 2 ZHEJIANG’S ACTIONS ON PROVINCIAL, CITY AND COUNTY LEVELS GHG INVENTORIES Zhejiang is the first province to implement normalized compilation of GHG inventories at the provincial, city and county levels, which is available through the Zhejiang Climate Change Research & Exchange Platform and used to support low-carbon policy decision making. Zhejiang requires provincial, city and county level governments to provide a GHG inventory report for the previous year by the end of the current year. Inventory compilation is carried out based on administrative regions and divided into ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’ emissions based on a ‘localization principle’. The inventories cover 5 major sectors including energy, industrial processes, agriculture, land use change and forestry, and waste, focusing on 6 types of GHGs: CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6. At the Provincial Level, Zhejiang is one of 7 provinces identifed by the central government to pilot the compilation of provincial GHG inventories. In July 2012, Zhejiang completed its 2005 provincial GHG inventory. In late 2012, it completed its 2006-2012 provincial GHG inventories. By the end of 2015, Zhejiang will complete its provincial GHG inventories for 2013-2014. At the City/County Level, the ‘Notice on Implementing Greenhouse Gas Inventory Compilation at the City/County Level’ issued by the Zhejiang Development and Reform Commission on March 2014 kicked off work to compile GHG inventories. City/County Development and Reform Commissions are responsible for inventory compilation, the Zhejiang Center for Climate Change and Low-Carbon Development Cooperation provides guidance and review including design, supervision, training and quality control. As of April 2015, 11 cities and 9 pilot counties completed GHG inventory reports for 2010-2013. Before the end of 2015, 11 cities and all 90 counties will complete GHG inventories for 2014.

  • A Survey of Marine Coastal Litters Around Zhoushan Island, China and Their Impacts
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article A Survey of Marine Coastal Litters around Zhoushan Island, China and Their Impacts Xuehua Ma 1, Yi Zhou 1, Luyi Yang 1 and Jianfeng Tong 1,2,3,* 1 College of Marine Science, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China; [email protected] (X.M.); [email protected] (Y.Z.); [email protected] (L.Y.) 2 National Engineering Research Center for Oceanic Fisheries, Shanghai 201306, China 3 Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center for Marine Science and Technology, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Rapid development of the economy increased marine litter around Zhoushan Island. Social- ecological scenario studies can help to develop strategies to adapt to such change. To investigate the present situation of marine litter pollution, a stratified random sampling (StRS) method was applied to survey the distribution of marine coastal litters around Zhoushan Island. A univariate analysis of variance was conducted to access the amount of litter in different landforms that include mudflats, artificial and rocky beaches. In addition, two questionnaires were designed for local fishermen and tourists to provide social scenarios. The results showed that the distribution of litter in different landforms was significantly different, while the distribution of litter in different sampling points had no significant difference. The StRS survey showed to be a valuable method for giving a relative overview of beach litter around Zhoushan Island with less effort in a future survey. The questionnaire feedbacks helped to understand the source of marine litter and showed the impact on the local environment and economy.

  • China: AQSIQ Grants Approval to New Fresh
    While some of China's more recent produce import designation areas have been inland to the west in Sichuan and Xinjiang, authorities have now opened up plans for another coastal import destination in one of the country's most affluent provinces. Last month, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) granted official approval for the Zhujiajian Xi'ao area of the Putuo District, Zhoushan City, as an imported fresh produce entry point. The inspection point will be at the Zhejiang-Taiwan Direct Flight Terminal on the small island that lies off the coast of Ningbo, and is a 292km (181mi) drive south from Shanghai. According to a Putuo district government release, the planned area for the entry point is 108 acres, and will include warehouses, cold storage rooms, container yards and other associated facilities. Construction is scheduled to begin in October. Zhoushan's municipal quarantine and inspection officials shared some details with www.freshfruitportal.com during a recent interview. The project is due for completion in two years, and AQSIQ will send a expert team to conduct acceptance testing. Once the entry point is fully established, it will be open for trade with Taiwanese produce goods first, and gradually become open to fresh produce imports from other countries. The processing capacity of the planned entry point has yet to be determined. According to the Zhoushan port's website, mot of the imported fresh produce that comes into Zhoushan are shipped from Taiwan by sea. The Putuo district has received preferential fresh produce policies from the central government.

  • Huatai Circular
    Circular Ref No.: PNI[2020]09 Date: 12 Aug 2020 Advisory on Navigating in Fishing Areas in/around Ningbo-Zhoushan Port In accordance with Fisheries Law of the People's Republic of China, Regulation of Zhejiang Province on Fishery and Several Opinions of the Government of Zhejiang Province on Restoration and Revitalization of Fishery of Zhejiang, as from August 1st, the fishing ban at the Yellow Sea and the East Sea between north latitude 35°~26°30' has lifted for the fishing boat with several operating types, inclusive of trawlers using spar drag method for shrimp, pots cast method, gill nets method and lighting enclosure (cladding) net method、stretch net fishing and dustpan net fishing. The fishing ban at the above area will be totally lifted on September 16th. The Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, located in the central and northern part of the coastal area of Zhejiang province, is the “T” intersection for China Yangtze River economic belt and China coastal transport. This intersection is a busy maritime highway, rich in fishery resources, and complex meteorological and hydrological conditions. During the fishing flood season, the average daily flow of all kinds of vessels can be as high as 5,000, and the east-west fishing boats overlap with the north-south shipping routes, increasing the probability of collision incidents. North-south shipping routes and east-west fishing boats In order to cope with the risk of collision caused by the increase of navigation density of ships during the fishing season, Ningbo Maritime Safety Administration puts forward the following collision prevention advisories for foreign ships navigating through the waters of Ningbo-Zhoushan: 1.

Compared with existing research, we developed an integrated index system that accurately represents the overall effect of the three subsystems of UTA, and a new weight determination method, the structure entropy weight (SEW), was introduced. Then, we constructed a coordinated development index (CDI) of UTA to measure the level of sustainability of new-type urbanization. This study also analyzed trends observed in UTA for 11 cities in Zhejiang Province of China, using statistical panel data collected from 2006 to 2017. The results showed that: (1) urbanization efficiency, the benefits of technological innovation, and air quality weigh the most in the indicator systems, which indicates that they are key factors in the behavior of UTA. The subsystem scores of the 11 cities show regional differences to some extent. (2) Comparing the coordination level of UTA subsystems, we found that the order is: coordination degree of UT > coordination degree of UA > coordination degree of TA.

Clean Air as an Experience Good in Urban China Matthew E. Kahn, Weizeng Sun, and Siqi Zheng NBER Working Paper No. 27790 September 2020 JEL No. Q52,Q53 ABSTRACT The surprise economic shutdown due to COVID-19 caused a sharp improvement in urban air quality in many previously heavily polluted Chinese cities. If clean air is a valued experience good, then this short-term reduction in pollution in spring 2020 could have persistent medium- term effects on reducing urban pollution levels as cities adopt new “blue sky” regulations to maintain recent pollution progress. We document that China’s cross-city Environmental Kuznets Curve shifts as a function of a city’s demand for clean air. We rank 144 cities in China based on their population’s baseline sensitivity to air pollution and with respect to their recent air pollution gains due to the COVID shutdown.

    Divergent Trajectories of Urban Development in 287 Chinese Cities Abstract The urbanization and motorization of Chinese cities follow divergent trajectories. However, how the diversity occurred, particularly within the small and medium cities, is understudied. Using panel data from 287 cities from 2001 to 2014 and a time-series clustering method, this study identified representative trajectories along which Chinese cities were urbanized and motorized. Urbanization was measured by scale, wealth, urban form, and infrastructure; motorization by automobile, taxi, bus numbers, and subway lines. Chinese cities were classified into four clusters: 23 Cluster-1 cities were the large cities with heavy rails; 41 Cluster-2 cities were the low-density wealthy cities with auto-oriented mobility; 134 Cluster-3 cities were the low-density medium-wealth cities with moderate mobility levels; and 89 Cluster-4 cities were the high- density poor cities with lowest mobility levels. Comparing to the traditional three-tier structure, exclusively based on political tiers, the four-cluster structure respects the multi-dimensional nature of cities and reflects the essential diversities among the medium and small cities. While political tiers remain critical, other features including scale, density, infrastructure, and mobility patterns are also important: scale differentiates Cluster-1 from others; low density characterizes Clusters 2 and 3; heavy rail and auto-oriented mobility respectively identify Clusters 1 and 2. We contribute to China’s urban development literature by explicitly examining the temporal dimension, analyzing both urbanization and motorization, and incorporating all the medium and small cities in China. The distinct patterns of Clusters 2, 3, and 4 are evident, and the variation within them were as important as that between them and large cities.
