On several occasions since 2016, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed the importance of China’s active participation in the international efforts to reform the system of global governance. Written by a group of prominent Chinese scholars and officials, the China and Global Governance Series aims to present the international readers with China’s approach to global governance and the Chinese wisdom behind it.
Climate change is one of the most severe challenges facing the world today, and concerns the survival and development of human society. Global action to combat climate change is more urgent than ever, and inseparable from international cooperation. In China and Global Climate Governance, Zhang Haibin evaluates the gains and losses in the 30 years of global climate governance since the start of international climate negotiations in 1990. The book presents China’s views on global climate governance, and examines the country’s efforts and contributions as an active participant and key player in areas such as research and development, emission reduction, energy revolution, and international climate negotiations.
