Since the late 1970s, China’s rapid economic development has been accompanied by environmental problems and resource constraints. China’s unique problems, related to its demography and terrain, have pushed China to contemplate the severe challenges it faces in environmental protection. China has always attached great importance to environmental protection and has established it as a basic state policy since reform and opening up were initiated in 1978. This book provides an insight into the series of strategic steps taken by China to strengthen its environmental protection measures, curb the deterioration of the environment, and seek to protect the planet along with the governments and citizens of other countries.
