Abstract

Across China, exacerbating air quality deterioration, water pollution, and land degradation are serious problems that often lead to episodes of violent protest and public unrest. It goes without saying that the prevention and control of these crisis-ridden environmental problems pose one of the most daunting tasks confronting China today. Against this backdrop, the purpose of this chapter is to examine the characteristics and effectiveness of China’s recent environmental policies in addressing its mounting environmental problems. These include China’s new blueprint for the promotion of eco-civilization, the Chinese Communist Party’s environmental resolutions, and environmental law amendments. The chapter concludes by suggesting ways to addressing the current environmental woes facing China today.
