Now that Trump has turned the United States into a global climate outcast, will China take the lead in saving our planet from environmental catastrophe? Many signs point to yes.

Recenzje

"A hugely informative and readable book about how much China is doing - and needs to do - to spur the clean energy revolution that is a crucial element in the fight against climate change. I highly recommend it." Todd Stern, Former Special Envoy for Climate Change under President Obama "Finamore has written an impressively well-researched and truly fascinating account of China's fitful odyssey to climate consciousness. In an otherwise pretty bleak global tableau, this progress offers some welcome grounds for hope." Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director, Center on US-China Relations, Asia Society "A must-read." Make Wealth History 'Barbara Finamore has written a highly readable and informative overview of China's role in the global climate change battle. Will China Save the Planet? is a good primer for environmental policy analysts and anyone else interested in studying feasible solutions to climate change, humanity's greatest threat.' Eurasia Review "If you want to read one book on China's energy and environmental transformation, Finamore's lucid volume is the one." Asian Review of Books 'Authoritative and comprehensive'. The South China Morning Post
