Abstract

FOUR DECADES OF RAPID ECONOMIC growth has resulted in wide-ranging environmental damage across China (and beyond), from smog-ridden skies to contaminated rivers, toxic soils and cancer villages. These increasingly intolerable costs have emerged as a major source of social unrest in recent years. Premier Li Keqiang acknowledged this in his opening address to the National Peoples Congress (NPC) on 5 March 2015: Chinas growing pollution problems are a blight on peoples quality of life and a trouble that weighs on their hearts.
