Nation's green initiatives to boost investment and create jobs

Climate change has deeply affected our daily lives. Under the principles and requirements of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, all countries have taken action. The Chinese government has made green low-carbon development the core of ecological civilization.

China has implemented a series of initiatives since the 1990s, especially in the 11th (2006-10) and 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15), and has achieved remarkable results. This time, China has put together a policy on Enhanced Actions on Climate Change for the Paris conference. This will convey the new concept and vision of sustainable development under the new normal to both an international and domestic audience.

Research in China makes it increasingly clear that action taken on climate change now can drive innovation, strengthen economic growth and bring broad benefits such as improved public health and a better quality of life. It will also produce sustainable development and increase energy security.
