China is becoming a rising star in global economical and political affairs. Both internationally and within China itself, people have great expectations of its future role. This book aims to clarify many aspects of Chinaâs key position in the climate change situation and policy debates. However, limited by its development stage, natural resource endowment, and other unbalanced developing issues, China is still a developing country. This book shows the reader the real China, which can provide more comprehensive solutions for future global climate regimes. This book includes research into Chinaâs twelfth Five-Year-Plan; low-carbon city pilot schemes; policies and pathways for Chinaâs nationally appropriate mitigation actions; Chinaâs forestry management; Chinaâs NGOs and climate change; the low-carbon 2010 Expo in Shanghai; carbon budget proposals; Chinaâs green economy and green jobs; Chinaâs reaction to carbon tariffs; Chinaâs actions in approaching adaptation; Chinaâs cumulative carbon emissions, and more. Chinaâs Climate Change Policies brings together experienced experts with in-depth understanding of the scientific assessment of climate change and relevant social and economic policies, and senior experts who have participated directly in international climate negotiations. This will help the reader to better understand the 2011 Durban climate change conference, as well as Chinaâs long-term strategy in response to climate change. |
