Features: The goal of the research team is to identify the key issues facing China's investment and financing mechanisms for environmental protection, develop innovative solutions for key areas of environmental focus, and propose comprehensive and strategic policy recommendations to the Chinese government. To achieve this goal, the team focuses on two critical problems: insufficient investment volume and low investment efficiency in China's environmental protection. The research emphasizes the innovation of investment and financing mechanisms in urban environmental infrastructure and pollution prevention for small and medium-sized enterprises. The team adopts a research methodology that combines theoretical analysis with case studies, integrating domestic challenges with international experience.
Regarding the issue of increasing investment volume, in the field of urban environmental infrastructure, the research focuses on creating mechanisms to leverage commercial financing methods and the role of non-governmental investors to raise social funds. In the field of pollution prevention for small and medium-sized enterprises, the emphasis is on studying how to establish dedicated funding mechanisms and systems with government support.
For improving investment efficiency, the research in both fields focuses on exploring how to establish market-based models for the construction and operation of pollution control facilities and promote policies that advance marketization. Naturally, many market-based models simultaneously serve the functions of increasing investment volume and improving efficiency.
