China's Green Consensus
Despite contrasting approaches, democratic and authoritarian governments all underline the fact that environmental protection is crucial and inevitable—and China’s enthusiasm in stepping up its efforts to protect the environment has not gone unnoticed.

It discusses the wide range of approaches and contexts through which people interact with wast...
