Premature deaths caused by poor air quality in Beijing and 27 surrounding cities dropped from 169,016 in 2015 to 145,460 in 2021
After a decade of intensive efforts to better control air pollution and facilitate the economy's shift from fossil fuels to clean energy, the city of Beijing met the national air quality standard for the first time last year. The annual average level of fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, fell to 33 micrograms per cubic meter — below the nationally set level of 35 micrograms/cu m and about half of that a decade ago. As a result, in 2021 Beijing residents enjoyed four more months of blue skies than 2013.
With industrial growth on the scale China has experienced, the energy consumption level becomes much greater, as do the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases.
