Another issue that should be addressed is that many local policies' focus is only on the elimination of air, water and waste pollution, but not the reduction of GHG emissions. For example, 218 projects designed to reduce the local pollution have been implemented under the main policy entitled "Three-Year Action Plan" on
the environmental protection in Baoshan District Shanghai between 2009 and 2011 (Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission, 2012). However, the GHG emissions reduc- tion perspectives have been ignored in most of these projects under
the "Three-Year Action Plan".
