Abstract
Environmental protection in China formally started 40 years ago in the 1970s. On the one hand, China has made remarkable strides in both development and environmental protection; on the other hand, it is still under tremendous environmental pressure. The country still has a long way to go before it can truly achieve green, low-carbon and sustainable development. Domestic and international environment has changed and China has much more to do to continuously promote the development of an ecological civilization and home and abroad while maintaining high-quality social and economic development.
