>life in poverty is worse than life with climate change consequences
Nevertheless, let us not ignore that China is doing significant steps already. It is not enough, but it is a trend into the right direction:
- world-leading production of renewable energy with twice the output from solar, wind and water compared to the number 2, the US
- renewable sector is growing significantly faster than the fossil and nuclear sector combined
- largest manufacturer of solar/photovoltaic tech
- almost 50% of global investments into renewables are made in China
- largest electric-car market in the world
- Green Wall of China has created 4.000.000.000 tons of sustainable biomass since 2003 (increased tree cover rate in China by 15%)
Those are significant steps and must be further followed and even accelerated.
