2014 CCICED Policy Recommendations

The green transition in China is still in its early and very challenging stage with unprecedented and complicated situations both domestically and internationally. The CCICED emphasizes the coming 15 years as the time frame required for a Green Transition Strategy in China. Over this 15 year period we believe it should be possible to reach turning points: in the War on Pollution, and particularly on air pollution; on adjusting the fossil-fuel dominant energy mix; on very significant improvement within a decade for protection of ecological services and biodiversity through mechanisms such as ecological red lines; and, by 2025 to 2030, full utilization of improved environmental technologies now under development.
