Despite popular belief in the UK, China is starting to invest heavily in Green Technologies, understanding that they need to value their environment if they are to remain a sustainable global powerhouse.
For example, in a new suburb of Turpan, electricity will be generated by PV power, heating and cooling will be provided by ground source heat pumps, coupled with natural ventilation and natural light in the buildings.
Addressing climate change and developing a low carbon economy have been included into China’s economic and social development plan. Hu Jintao, President of People’s Republic of China, promised at the United Nations Climate Change Summit that China will be reducing carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 2020. Furthermore, Zhou Shengxian, Minister of Environmental Protection, said “China sets environmental protection as the basic national policy and takes sustainable development as a national strategy so that environmental protection can be transformed”.
Encouraging stuff indeed, let’s hope there’s plenty of action to back it up…
