UN report urges move to low-carbon growth model

Beijing - The nation has "no other choice" but to shift to a low-carbon roadmap while charting its future social and economic development agenda, according to a report by the United Nations, released in the capital on Thursday.

China's current growth model is not sustainable in the medium to long term, the authors of the report have argued.

Prominent scholars, led by academics from the Renmin University of China, took nearly a year to prepare the report titled, 'Sustainable Future: Towards a Low Carbon Economy and Sustainable Society'.
