Description 1 online resource Series Routledge studies in energy policy Routledge studies in energy policy. Contents Climate change, energy security and China's stance -- Influences on the development of Chinese policies : historical and contemporary perspectives -- Actors in China's climate-related energy policies -- From CDM to Pilot Carbon Trading Scheme -- ECERS for the energy production sector and energy users -- Updates during the 13th five-year plan and implications for unaddressed issues -- Taking stock : achievements and the road ahead Summary In the face of growing environmental challenges, including climate change and energy security, countries across the globe are developing new policies and programs to address these challenges, and China is no exception. This book analyses China's two most significant climate-related energy policies, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM; including the later Chinese Certified Emission Reduciton - CCER) and the Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Scheme (ECERS). This work specifically examines the strengths and weaknesses of these policies to highlight the deficiencies and advise how they can be optimised, so China can better achieve its emission reduction goals. It analyses the roles and relationships between relevant actors and identifies how successful their cooperation has been, and what factors have affected it. Importantly, the work draws on a wide range of sources from central ministries to civil society, including interviews with Chinese officials, scholars, energy company managers, environment non-govermental organisation (ENGO) personnel, media reports, and online forum discussions. In doing so, the book not only analyses the thoughts of policymakers, as many works do, but also those implementing the policies and those impacted by the policies. The book concludes by offering detailed and practical solutions to address each specific deficiency in the CDM and ECERS policies, with the aim of providing innovations and alternative approaches to improve current and future policies in China. This book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and policymakers interested in climate change, energy, and Chinese environmental policy and politics Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher Subject Energy policy -- China Climatic changes -- Government policy -- China Economic development -- Environmental aspects -- China Energy conservation -- China Greenhouse gas mitigation -- China BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Industries -- Energy Industries.
