You may have heard about China's recent efforts to tackle the smog. But apart from turning Beijing's sky blue again, what else has China done on the environmental front?
A summary of China's environmental efforts were outlined in Vice Premier Sun Chunlan's speech at the Eco Forum Global (EFG) Annual Conference Guiyang 2018 on Saturday.
And here's a graph of what we learned from the speech:

In addition to the above information, Sun also talked about China's next goals and how to realize them.
"We will make sure the 2020 goals of xiaokang society are achieved and by 2035 we will build a Beautiful China," Sun told the forum.
A string of measures were mentioned in Sun's speech including the Ten Articles on air, water and land pollution, enforcing the Environmental Protection Law and guiding the people to switch to a greener lifestyle.
