In wake of the above, the China Council for International
Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) and the India
Council for Sustainable Development (ICSD) commissioned a
joint-study, to be conducted by Chinese Academy of Environmental
Planning (CAEP) and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).This
book is the outcome of the study and understands the environment
and development paradigms for both India and China, identifies key
issues, and draws commonalities, differences, and lessons that can
be learnt.
