Part of the Governing China in the 21st Century book series (GC21)

Abstract

Policymaking in the field of climate protection has taken off in China. The aggravation of the pollution problems in many cities, increased coverage of climate issues by national and foreign media, and international cooperation mechanisms are urging the political leadership to address the issue of climate change. This chapter discusses enabling and disabling factors for collaboration and partnerships between state, market, and civil society actors in the field of climate protection.
