The Incentives, Barriers and Perspectives of China’s National Climate Policy

Last November, a few weeks before Copenhagen, the Chinese government announced its 40-45% carbon reduction goal as its 2020 national mitigation target. This pledge became international when China submitted it for the Copenhagen accord in February.
Where does this target come from?

As a developing country, China’s offers a relative target. Is it ambitious enough? What is the assessment so far? What are the incentives for both the central and the local governments to implement this target? What is the overall mitigation framework and measures possibly adopted by the policy makers? What are the major barriers to accomplish this goal? What are the long term scenarios for China to join the global task to secure climate security?

Speaker:
Dr. Yu Jie headed the Policy and Research Program of „The Climate Group“ in Beijing. She supervised the Low carbon cities, low carbon technology policy, and the carbon market research programs.

This event is open for interested people. The speech will be given in english.
