In short: Discover how the Blue Map app uses real-time environmental data to hold industrial emitters accountable and support China's pledge to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.

Environmentalist Ma Jun presents an interactive tool that empowers citizens to monitor pollution violations in their own communities. By providing accessible data, the app helps global supply chain companies make better procurement decisions based on environmental impact.
