Exploration, Practice and Prospect of New Pollutants Governance in China

• • The governance process is divided into four stages from 2000 to 2035, with the current stage (2026-2030) focusing on comprehensive implementation and in-depth layout, requiring a shift from uniform national frameworks to differentiated local strategies to address varying industrial structures and pollution baselines. • • The paper identifies a critical bottleneck: the lack of a unified data sharing platform, leading to fragmented data and repetitive research. It recommends establishing a national open data system integrating monitoring, toxicological, and governance data, with dedicated teams for data processing and analysis. • • A 'diversified evaluation' system is proposed to differentiate assessment criteria for basic research versus management support research, providing stable policy support and resources to teams with long-term management impact, addressing the mismatch between research output and management needs. • • For international promotion, the paper suggests standardizing English terminology for new pollutants, integrating traditional ecological wisdom, and utilizing multilateral platforms and digital media to enhance China's global environmental governance influence, with a goal of achieving 'concept-technology' bidirectional empowerment.
