This commentary discusses China’s growing interest in and commitment to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The authors argue that the main drivers behind China’s gradual policy change are widespread environmental problems on the national level which require an overall plan balancing targeted growth with environmental protection. In their view, ad-hoc measures such as driving bans may achieve quick successes, but without major structural changes the emissions trend is unlikely to change.
