On October 27, the Standing Committee of the 15th Guangzhou Municipal People's Congress held its 56th meeting to vote and pass the Regulations on the Protection of the Ecological Environment of Guangzhou (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), which will be formally implemented after approval by the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress.

The reporter noted that in terms of ecological environmental protection and optimization, the regulations propose to implement the "three lines and one single" system, that is, to compile, publish, and implement the red line of ecological protection, the bottom line of environmental quality, the upper line of resource utilization and the list of ecological environment access, to establish an ecological environment zoning control system, and as an important basis for planning resource development, industrial layout and structural adjustment, urban construction and major project site selection.

The regulations also put forward requirements for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, carbon inclusiveness and carbon emission reduction, requiring municipal and district people's governments to take the response to climate change and the control of greenhouse gas emissions as an important part of formulating medium- and long-term development strategies and plans, and formulate an action plan for carbon emission peaking. The municipal department in charge of ecology and environment shall organize the compilation of greenhouse gas emission inventories, and encourage enterprises, public institutions, and other production operators to disclose greenhouse gas emission information to the public. In addition, establish a low-carbon behavior guidance mechanism that combines commercial incentives, policy incentives and market transactions, and encourage units and individuals to practice green and low-carbon production and living and consumption methods.

In terms of pollution prevention and control, the regulations refine the requirements in key pollutant emissions, phosphorus-containing detergent control, high-pollution fuel ban zones, motor vehicle limits, volatile organic compounds control, open burning and barbecue control, catering establishment fume pollution prevention and control, soil pollution prevention and utilization, noise pollution prevention and control, etc.

It is clear that the Municipal People's Government may, in accordance with the needs of air pollution prevention and control, demarcate and announce high-polluting fuel flame ban zones in accordance with the law; according to the needs of air pollution prevention and control, reasonably control the amount of fuel and gas motor vehicles, and restrict the passage of fuel and gas motor vehicles according to law.

The regulations expressly prohibit the open burning of plastics, garbage and other activities that produce soot and toxic and harmful gases. Violators will be dealt with by the supervision and management department determined by the district people's government in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution, the Regulations of Guangdong Province on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution and other laws and regulations.

In addition, in areas where noise-sensitive buildings are concentrated, it is forbidden to engage in activities such as cargo loading and unloading, interior decoration, fitness and entertainment that interfere with noise pollution that interfere with normal life from 12:00 to 14:00 and from 22:00 to 7:00 the next day.
