Global climate change is one of the challenges ever to confront
humanity with the largest scale, widest scope and most far-reaching
influence. As the biggest developing country with the largest
population, China is the world's leading consumer of coal and
energy, and one of the worst-hit victims of global warming.
Consequently, China should assume its responsibility in making
contributions to global sustainable development. Based on the
principles of fairness and efficiency, this study creatively puts
forward two principles of global governance on climate change. The
first entails replacement of the two-group schema of developed and
developing countries with a four-group model based on the Human
Development Index (HDI). The second entails application of the
resulting model to specify the major emitters as principal
contributors to emission reduction. In addition, it proposes a
two-step strategy for China to tackle the issue of climate change.
This book makes it clear that China should proactively engage in
relevant international cooperation, actively participate in
international climate negotiations, make clear commitments to
reduce emissions, and assume the obligations of a responsible power
to achieve sustainable and green development.
