Fischer, Doris (2012) The Importance of Being Earnest: The green economy and sustainable development in China. Asia Policy Brief 2012/02, November 2012. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
China's past economic development model has not been sustainable, at least in environmental terms. In recent years, the Chinese government has dedicated considerable time, planning energy, policy and rhetoric to "green" issues. However, there is a risk that this trend will be stalled by struggles related to pending economic problems and the upcoming leadership transition. Consequently, the international community should acknowledge China’s achievements in terms of environmental policy and cooperation as one way of serving the global public interest.
