China is becoming a rising star in global economical and political
affairs. Both internationally and within China itself, people have
great expectations of its future role. This book aims to clarify
many aspects of China's key position in the climate change
situation and policy debates. However, limited by its development
stage, natural resource endowment, and other unbalanced developing
issues, China is still a developing country. This book shows the
reader the real China, which can provide more comprehensive
solutions for future global climate regimes. This book includes
research into China's twelfth Five-Year-Plan; low-carbon city pilot
schemes; policies and pathways for China's nationally appropriate
mitigation actions; China's forestry management; China's NGOs and
climate change; the low-carbon 2010 Expo in Shanghai; carbon budget
proposals; China's green economy and green jobs; China's reaction
to carbon tariffs; China's actions in approaching adaptation;
China's cumulative carbon emissions, and more. China's Climate
Change Policies brings together experienced experts with in-depth
understanding of the scientific assessment of climate change and
relevant social and economic policies, and senior experts who have
participated directly in international climate negotiations. This
will help the reader to better understand the 2011 Durban climate
change conference, as well as China's long-term strategy in
response to climate change.
This report, prepared by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences,
brings together leading analysts in the scientific assessment of
climate change, relevant social and economic policy and those who
directly participate in international climate negotiations. The
report provides a comprehensive understanding of the latest
developments in the global response to climate change since the
Copenhagen and Cancun climate conferences and Chinese actions in
response, the results of these actions, the challenges that are
still being faced, as well as China's long-term strategy in
response to climate change. Part one focuses on the Chinese
domestic policy response to climate change, including an analysis
of the fulfilment of the energy conservation targets in the 11th
Five Year Plan, pathways and policies to meet the 40%-45% target by
2020, China's adaptation strategy and policies, low carbon
buildings, carbon sinks of forestry, public participation, and the
low carbon city idea that the Shanghai World Expo has promoted.Part
two includes thematic studies on some interesting hot topics, such
as carbon tariff, indicators for assessment of low carbon cities,
methodology for assessment of adaptation to climate change and
cumulative carbon emissions. Finally, the annex includes key data
on population, the economy, energy consumption and emissions by
sector, as well as progress to meet 11th Five Year Plan energy
conservation targets in each Chinese region.
This book covers major advances in China’s climate policy over
the past decade and presents theoretical approaches to climate
justice and low-carbon transformation from a Chinese perspective.
It analyzes the political economy of China’s climate policy, and
subsequently addresses the following major aspects: carbon
emissions and human rights, equity and carbon budgets, economic
analysis of low-carbon transformation, economics of adaptation to
climate change, and international climate regime building.Â
This book addresses the core tenets, logic, methodology and
practice of Xi Jinping's thoughts on ecological civilization. It
traces the theoretical origins of his ideas and comprehensively
discusses their theoretical characteristics and historical status,
while also demonstrating that they represent a self-contained
theoretical system and discourse system. In addition, the book
offers guidelines on putting his thoughts into practice in
connection with the new era of socialist ecological civilization in
China, implementing the 2030 sustainable development agenda action
plan and contributing to global ecological security.
This book looks into the increasing conflict between the demand of
economic growth and the already fragile ecological system condition
in China. The prolonged urbanization process has escalated the
erosion of natural environments and is increasing energy
consumption. China's role as a "world plant" is also demanding more
and more resource supply as well as energy consumption. This book
argues that to correctly respond to these emerging issues, apart
from upgrading industry and improves environmental protection
techniques, China needs to establish an "ecological civilization"
that provides an ideological basis for the construction of a green
low-carbon model of economic growth.

most susceptible to the impact of climate change. This is followed
by topical reports on issues such as global climate governance,
China's strategy in climate negotiations, the carbon trade, climate
insurance, domestic actions to address climate concerns, including
specific solutions to local challenges and achievements made by
cities in China. Written by top experts in the field from Research
Institute for Eco-civilization of Chinese Academy of Social
Sciences and National Climate Center of China Meteorological
Administration, the book aims to inform the readers on recent
development and progress in climate risk prevention.

This book establishes theories and methods of climate change
economics based on the perspective of human development. The book,
in two volumes, consists of papers and research reports authored by
Pan Jiahua or researchers under his guidance. Professor Pan Jiahua
is a leading figure in the field of political economy in climate
change and has written extensively. The book is divided into four
parts, covering theories, methods, governance, and policies. * The
theory part includes the general economics of climate change, the
political economy of climate change, carbon emissions, and human
development. * The method part covers the economic analysis of
greenhouse gas reduction and economics of low-carbon economic
development. * The governance is on the design and construction of
international climate regimes and China's role and choice. *
Finally, the policy part consists of three chapters: policy choices
for low-carbon transformation, energy-saving emission reduction,
and low-carbon development and adaptation to climate change. The
disciplines involved in climate change economics include welfare
economics, development economics, international political
economics, and property rights economics. In the context of
multidisciplinary cross-cutting, the economics of climate change
has evolved. The book proposes theories, methods and offers policy
solutions and cases. It is of high academic and empirical value for
developing countries to strive for fair rights and interests in
international climate negotiations, obtain development space, and
pursue a low-carbon and ecological economy. Professor Jiahua Pan
and his team at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences have
contributed greatly to the development of climate change economics
in China. Their work has laid the foundation of climate change
economics from basic concepts, frameworks, and systems and has a
great significance in promoting the development of climate change
economics.

This book focuses on China's urban development. In China, the
process of allowing more rural migrants to become registered city
residents in urban areas remains stagnant despite its importance to
the Chinese government and the existence of a national consensus
about it. Cities can compulsorily purchase land from farmers at low
or even no costs, and most farmers, whose families have relied on
the land to make a living for generations, do not profit from
increases in land value. Breaking down the established distributive
system of rights and privileges requires legislation and law
enforcement. To this end, we need to break through the current
pattern of interests and respect the "citizenization-relevant"
rights of rural migrant workers.
The book, written by acclaimed experts from China , is an output of
the Low-Carbon City China (LCCC) Programme. It provides an overview
of the low-carbon progress in various Chinese cities, identifies
their strengths and weaknesses, and enables the development of
renewable energy, green buildings and sustainable transportation.
The book also aims to develop a vision, strategy, action plan and
supervision system to promote low-carbon city construction,
enabling best practice knowledge sharing and developing
comprehensive, yet China-specific, low-carbon standards and
management systems.
Although there is no denial of climate justice, there has been a
persistent lack of practical joined-up actions regarding the
creation of an international climate institution. However,
politicians and academic researchers have been working together to
find solutions. This new book is an attempt to put forward
constructive approaches to climate security and justice, building
upon the inputs from the wide-ranging debates that took place at
the CASS Forum on Climate Justice and the Carbon Budget Approach in
Beijing (April 2010). The purpose of this prestigious international
conference was to construct an international climate regime and to
help promote climate justice. It also called on governments,
particularly governments in developed countries, to bear the
historical responsibility of climate change. Climate change is a
controversial topic worldwide today and the international regime
and corresponding actions will inevitably have a lasting and
profound influence on the world economy and international politics.
At its thirteenth session, held in Bali, Indonesia, at the end of
2007, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the Bali Action Plan,
initiating a new process of negotiations on long-term cooperative
actions under the Convention with the goal of reaching
international agreements on an international climate regime beyond
2012 at the fifteenth session of the Conference to be held in
Copenhagen, Denmark, at the end of 2009. The key factors in the
present international climate negotiations are a shared vision of
global long-term cooperative actions, mitigation, adaptation,
technology and finance, and their core issue is how to reach an
agreement for equitable burden-sharing of obligations for the
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions or allocation of emission
entitlements in accordance with the concrete conditions of various
countries and to ensure the implementation of such an agreement
under an appropriate international regime. As the largest
developing country in the world, China plays an important role in
international climate negotiations and is under increasing
international pressure. The existing Kyoto Protocol model takes the
level of emissions in 1990 as a base and determines the emission
reduction obligations of each developed country through
negotiation. The findings gathered together in this book break
through the fixed pattern of thinking of the Kyoto Protocol and,
based on the theory and methodology of the basic carbon emissions
needed for human development, studies a carbon budget proposal for
global greenhouse gas emission reductions. This proposal not only
better embodies the principle of "common but differentiated
responsibilities" established by the Climate Convention, but will
also be able to realize global goals for mid- and long-term
emission reductions. It represents a comprehensive proposal for
developing a more equitable and more effective international
climate regime. The CASS Forum on Climate Justice and the Carbon
Budget Approach in Beijing (April 2010) was organised in
association with the Institute for Urban and Environmental Studies
of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Konrad Adenauer
Foundation and Misereor.
