Smoke and steam rise from a coal processing plant in Hejin in central China's Shanxi Province on Nov. 28, 2019. | Olivia Zhang/AP PhotoChina has alienated a large swath of people around the world with its woeful climate performance, the latest sign of the country’s battered reputation as it rises to superpower status.
Too much too fast? Too little too slow? Join us on Feb. 10th at 9am ET for a virtual panel on a new POLITICO/Morning Consult Global Sustainability Poll focused on the world's climate frustrations. Climate commitments under the 2016 Paris Agreement are voluntary — largely at the insistence of the Obama administration. That means each country determines for itself how fast it intends to decarbonize its economy.urging China, the world’s biggest polluter, to do more on climate change, U.S.
One-third of Indians aged 45 to 64 think China should have more flexibility than richer nations, but that’s as robust as support gets for China. There is no legal framework to hold China to the Western timelines and standards demanded by citizens in the poll, said Byford Tsang of climate consutlancy E3G.
While China's per capita emissions remain at only around half that of American emissions , the country's"breakneck speed of development in the last decade has made its position more untenable, and increasingly so as it grows richer," Tsang said. Forty-three percent of those over 65 said they are “very concerned” about climate change — triple the rate of concern among 18- to 65-year-old Chinese. But while every older Chinese respondent who gave an opinion — 79 percent of those surveyed — agreed that their generation bore either “a lot” or “some” responsibility for climate change, all 79 percent insisted “the next generation” should pay “a lot” of “some” of the costs of green transition.
The problem is/was/always will be “what are we going to do about it?” Should we send Greta to shame them?
