China will crack down on fraud by third-party environmental protection services, especially on carbon emission data fraud, said Huang Runqiu, minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China (MEE), in the Ministers' Corridor of this year's Two Sessions.

Regulatory capabilities and law enforcement effectiveness ought to be improved. Science and technology should be well used to build a solid line of defense. The healthy and orderly development of the third-party environmental protection service market should be promoted.
