in Winter and Spring (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)

is to fully implement the relevant requirements of the autonomous region's annual action for ecological environment protection and control, and to ensure the successful completion of the annual assessment objectives and tasks. The autonomous region has decided to carry out the air pollution prevention and control action in the winter and spring of 2026-2027, and formulate this plan in accordance with the Action Plan for Continuous Improvement of Air Quality and other documents.

1. Main objectives

(1) Overall arrangement. From October 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027, focusing on fine particulate matter (PM2.), the region will carry out air pollution prevention and control in winter and spring in two stages.

(2) The first stage of specific objectives

(October to December 2026): the average number of days of air quality pollution in prefecture-level cities in the region should be controlled within 16 days; Excluding the impact of sand and dust weather, all cities, counties (districts) and Ningdong Base will ensure the continuous improvement of air quality in the fourth quarter compared with the same period last year, and strive to achieve the control target in October and December, the improvement target of ambient air quality in 2026 and the key control tasks (see Table 1 for details).

The second stage (from January to March 2027): by the end of March 2027, each city, county (district) and Ningdong Base shall complete the proposed control targets for ambient air quality improvement from January to March 2027, laying a solid foundation for the completion of the ambient air quality targets in 2027 and the mid-term of the "15th Five-Year Plan" (see Attached Table 2 for details).
