China's Green Development: Key Takeaways From 2021

Fighting both climate change and biodiversity loss is critical to protecting people and planet, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To this end, China’s green development has the potential to make significant contributions to both domestic and global efforts.

Here, we sum up the main takeaways and insights from these briefs as well as key recommendations moving forward.
