Public participation in achieving sustainable development goals in China: Evidence from the practice of air pollution control

Public participation is an important means of achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) in western countries, but it's just in its infancy in China. Does public participation in China help reduce air pollutant emissions and contribute to sustainable development? In order to answer this question, effects of the China Air Pollution Map Application on industrial pollution emissions, a natural experiment in which the public participates in environmental protection, are evaluated by using the difference-in-differences method. It is found that the launch of the Map restrains the industrial pollution discharge to a certain extent. However, its marginal effect fluctuates with the passage of time, indicating that it is not a stable means for maintaining sustainable development. Only when government policies, public and enterprise participation are jointly involved can air pollutant emissions be effectively controlled and SDGs be ultimately achieved.

The research object is the sociopolitical foundations of sustainable development in China. Research subject is the problem of inequality as one of the obstacles to sustainable development in China. In the article, different aspects of the issue are reviewed in the context of sustainable development, especially through the requirements of the UN Agenda 2030. These aspects include income inequality, inequality in education and health care, gender inequality. It is shown that despite the improvement trend in some specific aspects, the inequality gap in China is still large, further reduction of the inequality level remains one of the main tasks for achieving sustainable development goals in China.
