Cleaner Greener China

Written by Joanna  Lewis, China’s Strategic Priorities in International Climate Change Negotiations, is a very interesting report on the drivers behind China’s energy consumption, the areas that they are looking to reduce energy intensity, and what this means for the rest of us.

The paper does a nice job of presenting the history of the Central Party’s actions to address environmental issues, and the complex structure of agencies that oversee these issues…

The three major focus areas that will guide improvements, as presented in the paper, are:

• energy efficiency
• renewable energy
• Industrial policies

Note: Perhaps missing would be consumer awareness and consumption?
