Cleaner Greener China

The WWF in China has been in China longer than any other environmental NGOs.  Originally invited by the Ministry of Forestry to assist on Pandas, they have grown across China and now manage a wide variety of programs related to the environmental conditions.

In their recent report, Ecological Footprint in China, WWF worked with the International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED)

Looking not just at the issues related to China’s development, one of the more interesting sections is in how China should look to develop a circular economy and the steps to doing so:

1. Compact: A strategy to control urban expansion ( Spatially compact city and Eco-functional city)
2. Individual: a strategy to promote responsible consumption
3. Reduce: a strategy to reduce China’s hidden consumption impacts
4. Carbon: a strategy to diversify the energy Footprint
5. Land: a strategy to increase land productivity
6. Efficiency: a strategy to gather information for moving toward a circular economy and society
