Measures include restoring vegetation, expanding mangrove forests, improving pollution monitoring, penalizing violations, expanding electric-vehicle charging and cycling infrastructure, and tightening oversight of construction, industry, commerce and restaurant emissions. Authorities also plan to raise residents’ and tourists’ legal awareness.
