With “Ecosystem Management and Green Development” as the theme, this Annual General Meeting will focus on discussion on such topics as the development of China’s “12th Five-Year Plan” and exploration of a new path to environmental protection. These will play an active role in accelerating the development of a resource saving and environment-friendly society in China. This year is the last year of the “11th Five-Year Plan” period in China. We have effectively addressed the impact of the international financial crisis and maintained steady and fast economic growth over the past five years, lifting the development of modernization to a new height. According to estimates, China’s per capita GDP will reach $4000 this year. While China enjoys economic growth, resource conservation and environmental protection have also been strengthened. The accumulated reduction of COD and SO2 emission was 9.7% and 13.1% respectively from 2006 to 2009. The discharge of major pollutants has continuously declined during the first six months of this year. These hard-earned achievements have demonstrated China’s determination and capacity in strengthening environmental protection, and reflect China’s will and action in facilitating green development. Meanwhile, we clearly understand that, with a huge population, China has relatively insufficient resources and environmental carrying capacity, and the contradiction between development and environment is still very acute. Although China ranks among the best in the world in terms of overall GDP, its per capita GDP ranks only around 100th in the world. The coastal regions and some big and

  • Summary of Dr. Wang Qiming's Presentation on Three Gorges Dam
    Three Gorges Dam: Development and Conflicts Summary of Dr. Wang Qiming’s presentation on Three Gorges Dam On Wednesday June 12 2012 Dr. Wang Qiming, Science Counsellor from the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China spoke to the CCFS-O on the topic of the Three Gorges Dam: Development and Conflicts. His Power Point slides are posted on the CCFS-O web site for those who wish more details. The Three Gorges dam, completed in 2009, is well known both as an engineering marvel and for the controversies that surrounded its construction. It holds a number of world records including: largest dam, largest hydroelectric generation facility, and largest displacement of population for the construction of a dam. Dr. Wang began by setting the historic and geographic context for water management in China. China is and has been an agricultural nation for thousands of years. As far back as 256 BC China built the Dujiangyan dams and irrigation systems to irrigate over 5,300 square kilometers of farmland near Chengdu. That system is still on operation today. In 609 AD China completed the Grand Canal, between Hangzhou in the south and Beijing in the north. This ambitious north south venture linked six river systems in order to move shipping between the south and the north of China. Both the need and the potential for these water management systems arise from China’s geography and climate. In geographic terms China is composed of 3 tiers: a low eastern plateau, a middle plateau and the high plateau of Tibet and Qinghai.

  • China's Rising Hydropower Demand Challenges Water Sector
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN China’s rising hydropower demand challenges water sector Junguo Liu1, Dandan Zhao1, P.W. Gerbens-Leenes2 & Dabo Guan3 Received: 18 September 2014 Demand for hydropower is increasing, yet the water footprints (WFs) of reservoirs and hydropower, Accepted: 20 May 2015 and their contributions to water scarcity, are poorly understood. Here, we calculate reservoir WFs Published: 09 July 2015 (freshwater that evaporates from reservoirs) and hydropower WFs (the WF of hydroelectricity) in China based on data from 875 representative reservoirs (209 with power plants). In 2010, the reservoir WF totaled 27.9 × 109 m3 (Gm3), or 22% of China’s total water consumption. Ignoring the reservoir WF seriously underestimates human water appropriation. The reservoir WF associated with industrial, domestic and agricultural WFs caused water scarcity in 6 of the 10 major Chinese river basins from 2 to 12 months annually. The hydropower WF was 6.6 Gm3 yr−1 or 3.6 m3 of water to produce a GJ (109 J) of electricity. Hydropower is a water intensive energy carrier. As a response to global climate change, the Chinese government has promoted a further increase in hydropower energy by 70% by 2020 compared to 2012. This energy policy imposes pressure on available freshwater resources and increases water scarcity. The water-energy nexus requires strategic and coordinated implementations of hydropower development among geographical regions, as well as trade-off analysis between rising energy demand and water use sustainability. Energy and water resources are an important nexus recognized in academic and policy debates1–3. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) state that the availability of an adequate water supply is an increasingly important crite- rion for assessing the physical, economic and environmental viability of energy projects4.

  • China's Past, China's Future Energy, Food, Environment
    China’s Past, China’s Future China has a population of 1.3 billion people, which puts strain on her natural resources. This volume, by one of the leading scholars on the earth’s biosphere, is the result of a lifetime of study on China, and provides the fullest account yet of the environmental challenges that China faces. The author examines China’s energy resources, their uses, impacts and prospects, from the 1970s oil crisis to the present day, before analyzing the key question of how China can best produce enough food to feed its enormous population. In answering this question the entire food chain – the environmental setting, post-harvest losses, food processing, access to food and actual nutritional requirements – is examined, as well as the most effective methods of agricultural management. The final chapters focus upon the dramatic cost to the country’s environment caused by China’s rapid industrialization. The widespread environ- mental problems discussed include: • water and air pollution • water shortage • soil erosion • deforestation • desertification • loss of biodiversity In conclusion, Smil argues that the decline of the Chinese ecosystem and environ- mental pollution has cost China about 10 per cent of her annual GDP. This book provides the best available synthesis on the environmental conse- quences of China’s economic reform program, and will prove essential reading to scholars with an interest in China and the environment. Vaclav Smil is Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Environment, University of Manitoba, Canada. He is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities on the biosphere and China’s environment.
