China's Climate Change Policies

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 Chinas 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 Chinas twelfth Five-Year-Plan; low-carbon city pilot schemes; policies and pathways for Chinas nationally appropriate mitigation actions; Chinas forestry management; Chinas NGOs and climate change; the low-carbon 2010 Expo in Shanghai; carbon budget proposals; Chinas green economy and green jobs; Chinas reaction to carbon tariffs; Chinas actions in approaching adaptation; Chinas cumulative carbon emissions, and more. Chinas 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 Chinas long-term strategy in response to climate change.
