Writing in a piece for The Economist, LiShuo_GP emphasises “the power of the public and green groups in shaping China’s environmental agenda”
Second, air pollution is a local problem. China has all the selfish reasons to act on it. Climate change is a global challenge. It will undoubtedly wreak havoc in China. But the incentives to solve itThird, social and political conditions in China have changed over the last ten years. Social media was a critical element in generating public momentum on air pollution. But it is under stricter control now, as are civil-society activities.
I believe green groups should focus on three issues to address the climate crisis. These issues correspond to the environmental, diplomatic and economic drivers that have propelled China’s climate action. Second, campaigners should help cultivate a sense of global solidarity among the Chinese public. Better domestic and global politics are key ingredients for climate action. But as China’s relationship with the West deteriorates, the country is becoming nationalistic and inward-looking. Advocates need to help the country understand that, as the aphorism goes, with power comes responsibility. Admittedly, creating a better atmosphere for co-operation between China and the West is a daunting task.
Third, climate groups need to shift from campaigns that call out ills—say, over coal, plastic waste, plantation farming—to campaigns that push for solutions.
