Descripción
The People’s Republic of China is a key actor in the international system of the twenty-first century, especially with regard to environmental agendas, debates, and programs related to the energy transition. In this regard, China plays an indisputable role not only as a technological, political, and economic power, but also as a global emitter of GHGs—and particularly CO₂—and as a promoter of international governance. This proposal is built on initiatives, paradigms, and multilateral platforms designed to cooperate and coordinate actions aimed at confronting and resolving the environmental consequences of processes of growth and economic development, as well as to advance sustainable development and a peaceful, harmonious world. To this end, the chapter reviews China’s historical background on the environmental agenda, presents the main features of its energy matrix and emissions, analyzes the development–environment–energy triad characteristic of the country, and explores the main elements of China’s domestic and international environmental regime from Mao Zedong onward.
