China Confronts Climate Change shows that bottom-up initiatives offer a key current prospect for engaging rising China in robust and urgently required GHG-emissions-mitigation actions. This book offers the first fully comprehensive account of Chinäs response to climate change, based on a sound engagement with the global climate governance literature and contemporary debates as well as significant expertise about the Chinese context beyond the climate change arena.
