Abstract

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a defining challenge for China in two senses. First, it is required to avert dangerous and potentially catastrophic climate change. And, second, an effective response to climate change requires fundamental economic reforms and poses critical questions for China’s emergence on the international stage as a superpower. Success on the mitigation front will be a good indicator of overall domestic reform progress and of China’s peaceful and responsible global rise.
