This timely book provides a comprehensive analysis of China's major policy interventions for decarbonizing the economy and managing climate risks in light of recent political and economic transitions.

Alex Lo and Chen Xiang present a balanced account of China's governance approaches by examining the intersection of the state, market, and society. With a focus on domestic policies and relations, they assess climate change policy challenges in China, drawing on examples of market-based and industry-focused policy interventions. Chapters encompass the framework of environmental and climate change governance in China before indicating how these policy interventions help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. As China emerges as a driving force in the fight against climate change, the book explores the evolving political-economic landscape of a nation committed to a greener future against the background of increased global uncertainty and economic instability.

China's Climate Policy is a vital resource for scholars and students of environmental politics and policy across the social sciences. It is also beneficial to think tanks, government research units, and practitioners in the field.
