Abstract
China emits unproportionately high concentrations of CO2 and, due to rapid population growth and industrialization, suffers from air, water, and soil pollution. However, many of these challenges for sustainable growth are being vigorously addressed, and China aims at a CO2 emission peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 (“dual carbon policy”). In addition, nation-wide programs attempt to achieve reforestation and ecological restoration. By 2025, core elements of a “bioeconomy” and a circular economy are expected to be ready. Many of these programs extend into China’s international “belt-and-road” initiative (BRI). In this article, we briefly describe the present achievements of China’s environmental solutions and the country’s visions for a “digital, eco-friendly civilization.
