Dear Working Group Member,
The European Chamber is pleased to invite you to the next Environment Working Group meeting. It will be held on Thursday, 19th June, 4:30pm-6pm, at the European Chamber Shanghai.
At this meeting, Mr. Luo QiShi, Deputy Director, Urban Soil Pollution Control and Remediation Centre, Shanghai Academy of Environmental Sciences, will present the key findings of the government soil pollution report, published in April by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Ministry of Land Resources. He will, furthermore, discuss the current soil pollution and remediation status and challenges in China.
The establishment of the Urban Soil Pollution Control and Remediation Centre was approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection in 2013. It is China’s first national soil pollution control and remediation centre, which studies the status of China’s urban soil and works with national and local government officials to monitor and clean up urban land and underground water pollution.
A Shanghai-based centre, the Institute of Solid Waste and Soil Remediation, has been engaged in similar work locally for nine years, since the Institute’s establishment in 2005. Mr. Luo QiShi was previously Director of the Institute, which is also based within the Shanghai Academy of Environmental Sciences, until 2013.
