China's battle against pollutants praised

Organic emissions highlighted at 20th anniversary of Stockholm Convention

China's efforts to control organic pollutants won recognition from foreign ecological experts on Friday.

"China's pivotal role in global chemical management cannot be overstated," said Rolph Payet, executive secretary of the Secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions. "From ratifying amendments to implementing its national plans, China has exemplified dedication in tackling persistent organic pollutants."

"China's active participation in scientific processes under the Stockholm Convention, such as the global monitoring plan for persistent organic pollutants, underscores its commitment to not only national implementation but also to regional and global progress," Payet said.
