Asian Development Bank | February 2014
Abstract
This report reviews the current state of the People's Republic of China's national policy on climate change mitigation and carbon markets.
The People's Republic of China (PRC) is being impacted by climate change. The resulting degradation and desertification of grasslands are projected to lead to decreased productivity and severely affect livestock and ecosystems. Financial incentives are required to improve environmental management of grasslands and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the grassland sector of the PRC.
