China is an integral actor in any movement that will stabilize the
global climate at conditions suited to sustainable development for
its own population and for people living around the world.
Assessments of China's climatic-system consequences, impact, and
responsibilities need to take into account the strengths,
weaknesses, and potential of subnational governments,
non-governmental organizations, transnational non-state
connections, and the urban populace in reducing greenhouse-gas
emissions. A multitude of recent local initiatives that have
engaged subnational China in actions that mitigate emissions can be
enhanced by powerful framings that appeal to citizen concerns about
air pollution and health conditions. China Confronts Climate Change
offers the first fully comprehensive account of China's response to
climate change, based on engagement with the global climate
governance literature and current debates over responsibility along
with specific insights into the Chinese context. Responsible
implementation of any overarching climate agreement depends on
expanding China's subnational contributions. To remain fully
informed about GHG-emissions mitigation, China watchers and
climate-change monitors need to pay close attention to bottom-up
developments. The book provides a valuable contemporary resource
for students, scholars, and policy leaders at all levels of
governance who are concerned with climate change, environmental
politics, and sustainable urban development.
