New book chronicles China's green movement

China's first bilingual collection on climate change and environment protection, a joint effort of China Daily journalists and columnists, has been published this week in conjunction with the Copenhagen summit.

Published by Beijing-based New World Press, Evolution of Green China: Charting the Challenging Course from Beijing to Copenhagen is an anthology of articles published over the last several years about China's ongoing countermeasures to combat climate change and its energy-use and emission-control efforts.

These articles monitor not only the changes drafted by government officials and their climate and energy consultants but also those emerging from the bottom up. They also tell of grassroots campaigns, and feature the voices of entrepreneurs, social movements, scientists and independent researchers - and those of the China Daily writers and editors.
