Abstract:

Ever since the industrial revolution, human activities, especially the industrialization process in developed countries, have consumed a lot of fossil energy. That has resulted in an increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the air, which in turn has caused global warming. The natural eco-environment has been impacted and the existence and development of human society are now facing a severe challenge. China is a developing country with a huge population. Its economy is comparatively underdeveloped. For the country, its major tasks at the moment are to develop the economy, eradicate poverty and improve people’s livelihood. Climate change is not simply an environmental problem. It’s fundamentally a problem of development. For more information, visit the distributor's website.
