The aims of the Paris Agreement may stand or fall with China, both for its own contribution and the example it will set the developing world. China's Role in Reducing Carbon Emissions discusses the prospects for China achieving radical reductions in carbon emissions, within the context of the current economic and political landscape. With a particular focus on technologies such as such as wind power, solar power and electric vehicles, Toke examines how China is transitioning to a state of stable energy consumption via a service-based economy and heavy investment in non-fossil energy sources. The book concludes that China may be set to reduce its carbon emissions by approximately two-thirds by 2050. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of climate change, sustainable development, political science and energy, as well as energy professionals seeking to understand the implications of recent developments in China. 606 $aCarbon dioxide mitigation$zGovernment policy$zChina 606 $aRenewable energy sources$zChina 606 $aEnergy consumption$zChina 615 0$aCarbon dioxide mitigation 615 0$aRenewable energy sources 615 0$aEnergy consumption 676 $a363.7387460951 700 $aToke$b David.$01092602 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953561603321 996 $aChina's role in reducing carbon emissions$94410705 997 $aUNINA
