Human development a key ingredient for any green solution

COPENHAGEN: Though a low-carbon economy and a place where people can tap into their full potential could both be achieved, in the next 10 to 20 years, human development remains China's top priority, Chinese experts say.

The stand on investing in people was made at an event in conjunction with the Copenhagen climate change conference and ahead of the Tuesday release of key findings from the China Human Development Report 2009/10.

The report, to be published in its entirety early next year, requires human development to be taken into consideration in developing a low carbon economy.
