In 2017, China was the world’s leading emitter of heat-trapping gases by a wide margin. Its policies for limiting emissions will have a significant impact on the global climate for decades to come. Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy for the New York book release of CGEP Inaugural Fellow David Sandalow’s Guide to Chinese Climate Policy. The Guide provides background on Chinese emissions, the impacts of climate change in China and the history of China’s climate policies. The bulk of the Guide discusses China’s climate policies, explaining the principal tools the Chinese government uses to address climate change. A conclusion provides an assessment of those policies.
