Abstract：Based on China\'s 272 cities in 2001-2017 data, theoretical analysis of the assessment of environmental policy, the official age, record of formal schooling incentives and the current situation of environment pollution and its influence mechanism between, and making use of the double difference method carries on the empirical analysis, found that the more strict environmental assessment, environmental governance, the better the results. In addition, it was found that, as time went by, the older and more educated the mayor or secretary of the municipal committee of the communist party of China (CPC) was, the less sulfur dioxide emissions and the more obvious the emission reduction effect. This also shows that the weight of environmental protection assessment needs to be increased in the current performance assessment system. The results of robustness test analysis are similar to the baseline regression results.
