The government of Shanghai has kicked off the new round of its three-year environmental conservation program, in a move to build Shanghai into an energy-saving, environmentally friendly city. Under the new round of the program, the city will give priority to the following aspects of environmental conservation: further improve the safety of drinking water; enhance the ability of treatment of wastewater and domestic wastes; and boost the construction of environmental infrastructure in suburbs and industrial parks. In addition, the National IV emission standards will be implemented for the city’s light-duty vehicles and heavy-duty diesel-powered vehicles this year. Taxies and most buses are required to meet the National III or higher standards before the Expo 2010.
