“…The public's WTP was much lower than the increment of ecosystem service value. As the survey of WTP is always undertaken in a certain geographical area, its results are closely related to the political system, economic level, environmental awareness, environmental management mode, and supply mode of public goods in the surveyed area [39,40]. The practice of CVM in China is not widespread, especially in aspects of national measures and public facilities.…”

Ecological compensation has recently gained significant attention as an economic incentive promoting natural resource management. However, there remain several challenges to its application. A key issue is the lack of a method clearly define the standard of ecological compensation. This study established an accounting methodology for the ecological compensation standard for the water-receiving area in an inter-basin water diversion in China. Beijing, a major water-receiving area of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, was used as an example of the application of this approach. First, the evaluation index of ecosystem service value of the water-receiving area was selected, then, emergy theory was used to calculate the increment of ecological service value based on the characteristics of each indicator. The ecological service value due to the project was calculated to be 3.898 billion RMB, while the willingness-to-pay by the public was estimated at 915 million RMB. Therefore, the increment of ecological service value was the highest standard of compensation, and the public’s willingness-to-pay was the lower limit of ecological compensation. The final compensation standard can be determined through negotiation between suppliers and beneficiaries under the leadership of relevant governments and water-transfer authorities. Thus, this study aimed to provide a scientific basis for the construction of diversified ecological compensation mechanisms and promote sustainable development of the region.

“…Recent population research have revealed that PM 2.5 exposure is related to reproductive and neurological diseases, while O 3 exposure is associated with cardiopulmonary disease and lung cancer [8,9]. Previous studies have shown that about 7 million premature deaths per year are due to air pollution [10,11]. Previous studies also indicate that about 98% of cities in developing countries fail to fulfill the air quality guidelines of World Health Organization (WHO) [12,13].…”

The air pollution process and impact mechanism of megacities located in complex terrain are particularly complex. As a typical megacity in China, Chengdu has unique topographical and meteorological conditions, and its pollution control is difficult. This study systematically elucidated the variation characteristics of six criteria air pollutants in Chengdu between 2014 and 2020. Besides, the PM2.5/PM10 and NO2/SO2 ratios were discussed. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the correlation between air pollutants was carried out. Finally, the collaborative path of carbon reduction and air pollution control is discussed. The results indicated that SO2, PM2.5, PM10 and CO were significantly decreased by 62.9%, 50.8%, 45.5%, and 36.7%, respectively. PM2.5 and O3 compliance rates are very low, and O3 increases with fluctuations. SO2, NO2, CO, PM showed a “U-shaped” seasonal variation, and there was a “seesaw” phenomenon between O3 and PM2.5. The continuous changing trends also found in the ratios of PM2.5/PM10 and NO2/SO2. The results highlight the importance of coordinated reduction of carbon emissions and pollutants in Chengdu. This research can improve the prediction accuracy of air pollution in complex terrain areas under global warming, and improve the understanding of the formation mechanism of air pollution in special terrains around the world.
