The "Two Reductions, Six Controls and Three Improvements" means reducing coal consumption, reducing outdated chemical production, controlling pollution to Taihu Lake, controlling household garbage and hazardous wastes, controlling pollution to waters, controlling pollution caused by livestock breeding, controlling VOC pollution, controlling environmental risks, improving ecological protection and improving law enforcement and supervision for environmental protection.

To promote the progress of the campaign, SIP has made a specific five-year action plan. It aims to, by 2020, reduce average annual PM concentration by 25%, increase days with fine and good air quality in urban area by over 73.9%, and raise water qualification rate to 100% during provincial evaluation. Its goals also include upgrading all surface waters that have lost functions for use, turning over 95% of polluted arable land into safe land for use and making over 95% of polluted land lots safe for use.

To achieve the goals, SIP has mapped out 31 key projects and 14 policy measures, striving to build a beautiful environment in SIP through comprehensive environmental management.
