  • An Analysis of the Public Participation in Environmental Management in the Era of “Internet+”
    Philosophy Study, January 2018, Vol. 8, No. 1, 22-28 doi: 10.17265/2159-5313/2018.01.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING An Analysis of the Public Participation in Environmental Management in the Era of “Internet+” Ju Chuanguo Northeastern University In recent years, the application of Internet technology in the public participation in environmental management has been developing continuously in China. From the case of Maoming PX Incident and the case of Chai’s “Under the Dome,” it can be seen that Internet technology has both advantages of promoting the public participation in environmental management and disadvantages of the lacks of normative guidance. Government departments should not only adapt to the “Internet+” era and guide the public use of Internet technology in environment management, but also strengthen the construction of laws and regulations and the construction of institutional mechanisms to standardize concrete links of the public participation in environmental management through the Internet and finally establish a system of the public participation in environmental management in the era of “Internet+.” Keywords: “Internet+,” public participation, environmental management The public participation in environmental management refers to the social behavior that publics participate in government departments’ regulatory and decision about environment through a variety of ways and means in the form of personal status and social organization in order to safeguard their own rights and promote social welfare. In recent years, the development and application of Internet technology have had a significant impact on the concrete practice of the public participation in environmental management in China. On the one hand, Internet technology provides a new way for the public to participate in environmental management, which means they can participate more extensively and deeply in government departments’ decision-making in environmental management through the Internet.

  • Communiqué from the Urban 20 (U20)
    Communiqué from the Urban 20 (U20) October 2, 2020, Riyadh We, the Mayors of the undersigned cities, underscoring the interconnectedness of the world and our shared future, have gathered as the Urban 20 (U20) to call on the G20 Leaders to commit to our partnership in achieving equitable, carbon-neutral, inclusive and healthy societies. Under the U20 Riyadh’s chairmanship, U20 cities built on the strong foundation of the U20 Buenos Aires and Tokyo legacies to issue this Communiqué linking to the G20 priorities under the Saudi presidency, and with contributions from evidence-based task forces and a special working group on COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing social and economic crisis make this call even more urgent as cities and metropolitan areas, that lie at the heart of the G20’s vitality, are the epicenter of the crisis. Mayors, the principal champions of our communities’ aspirations, are on the frontline to deliver on COVID-19 recovery action plans across the G20, backed by scientific knowledge, inclusively building on technological and digital breakthroughs, while acknowledging humanity’s cultural and ethnic diversity. The recovery should not be a return to business as usual. Instead, investments must improve the welfare and resilience of our cities and communities, by addressing solidarity, re-investing in public health, and mitigating future threats, like the climate crisis. Climate action and biodiversity preservation can help accelerate economic recovery and enhance equity through new technologies and the creation of green jobs. These efforts will also drive wider benefits for people and businesses. Now is the time to devise visionary multilateral solutions and strengthen policy-making that fosters inclusive, sustainable, resilient and smart urbanization, protects the rights of citizens and the foundations of local democracy, in support of prosperity and well-being framed by key global agreements.

  • Will Xi Jinping Take the Lead on Climate Change?
    Clear waters and green mountains: Will Xi Jinping take Sam Geall November 2017 the lead on climate change? CLEAR WATERS AND GREEN MOUNTAINS: WILL XI JINPING TAKE THE LEAD ON CLIMATE CHANGE? The Lowy Institute is an independent policy think tank. Its mandate ranges across all the dimensions of international policy debate in Australia — economic, political and strategic — and it is not limited to a particular geographic region. Its two core tasks are to: • produce distinctive research and fresh policy options for Australia’s international policy and to contribute to the wider international debate • promote discussion of Australia’s role in the world by providing an accessible and high-quality forum for discussion of Australian international relations through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences. Lowy Institute Analyses are short papers analysing recent international trends and events and their policy implications. The views expressed in this paper are entirely the author’s own and not those of the Lowy Institute. CLEAR WATERS AND GREEN MOUNTAINS: WILL XI JINPING TAKE THE LEAD ON CLIMATE CHANGE? EXECUTIVE SUMMARY President Donald Trump, who once called climate change a Chinese hoax, has committed to withdrawing from the UN Paris Agreement on Climate.1 Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping has doubled down on his support for the UN climate accord and the low-carbon energy transition of his country. With the United States in retreat and Europe divided, can China now take the lead? This Analysis argues it is unlikely China will assume an international leadership position on climate, at least in Xi Jinping’s new term of office.

  • CCICED Update No.1 of 2015
    September , 2015 Issue 1 of 2015 Publisher: CCICED Secretariat Feedback Link CCICED Activities ■ CCICED Roundtable 2015 On May 18-19, China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) held its 2015 Roundtable meeting in Shanghai, inviting council members, former research project co-chairs, renowned scholars, industry leaders, donor representatives, and government officials studying at the China Executive Leadership Academy Pudong (CELAP), to sit 1 together and discuss China’s green transformation. “China’s economic growth has entered the stage of “New Normal”, which is accompanied by severe environmental challenges,” said Mr. Li Ganjie, CCICED Secretary General and Vice Minister of Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP). “How to deal with the relationship between environment and development under this “New Normal” puts to the test our governance skills and our capacity to serve the people.” Li noted Beijing’s new focus on “greenization” and recent actions to build an ecological civilization, pointing out that effective greenization requires not only national initiatives such as legislation, institutional arrangements and policy guidance, but also reforms and innovations at all levels of government. He stressed the importance of raising public awareness through environmental education campaigns, which will bolster progress towards ecological civilization goals. Under the theme of “Modernization of National Governance and Green Transformation”, this year’s Roundtable Meeting allowed the CCICED to share its policy recommendations on eco-environmental redlining, media and public participation policies to promote China’s green development, green accounting and environmental performance evaluation, as well as green supply chains. It also offered local officials opportunities to raise both questions and challenges, and to share their experience in greening China’s development.

Cela dit, depuis la fin de 2015, nous avons pu remarquer un certain durcissement, voire même un « repli » de la part de Xi, tant dans son attitude face au pouvoir (p. ex. retour aux idiomes/symboles maoïstes, méfiance ouverte de l’Occident, attitude de plus en plus inflexible en matière de structures internationales, etc.), que dans son attitude envers certains patriarches du Parti, notamment Jiang Zemin (président de la République populaire entre 1993 et 2003) et Hu Jintao (président de 2003 à 2013), ainsi qu’envers les autres forces en présence sur la scène politique chinoise (par exemple la Ligue des jeunesses communistes [共青团]1, la « faction du pétrole » [石油帮]2, la bande Shanghai [ 上海帮], la bande du Jiangxi [江派], etc.). Ce dernier a également resserré son emprise non seulement sur Beijing – par le biais de son proche collaborateur Wang Xiaohong [王 小洪]3-, mais bien aussi sur le pays en entier. Tandis que le temps d’« abattre les tigres » [打虎] et que les déraillements de la jiwei sont encore perceptibles, en particulier dans la province du Hebei4, fort est de constater que l’impact n’est pas celui escompté, sauf dans les cas de Su Shulin [苏树林]5 et Jiang Jiemin [蒋洁敏]6, et qu’il ne sera pas vraiment possible d’évaluer les dégâts de cette campagne avant la formation du Comité central de 2022.

  • April 22, 2015 Dali L. Yang Professor of Political Science Faculty Director
    April 22, 2015 Dali L. Yang Professor of Political Science Faculty Director, Center in Beijing The University of Chicago Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission China ahead of the 13th Five-Year Plan: Competitiveness and Market I am honored to have this opportunity to join distinguished colleagues and share my thoughts on China’s political economy to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. Before I get to the key points of my remarks today, I’d like to note that the development and dynamics of China’s political economy have been the major preoccupation of my academic research career. I started by examining the mechanisms and forces that shaped China’s rural reforms from the 1950s to the 1980s as well as the competitive dynamics for regional diversification and development. In the last decade I’ve been especially interested in issues of China’s institutional reforms, regulation, governance, and state-society relations. It is obvious today that the future direction of Chinese development is among a small number of the most fundamental questions concerning the future of humankind and I commend the Commission’s role in helping to better understand China’s developments in its variegated dimensions. I am speaking on Panel III, “The Broader Implications of China’s Five-Year Plans” and am especially pleased to do so and to link the discussion of such plans with the extraordinarily fluid context within which preparation for the 13th five-year plan occurs. Institutional History and the Transformation of China’s Planning Apparatuses Historically central planning in China never gained the status, complexity and sophistication that were reached in the USSR.

  • Government Earmarks SEK 1 Million for Promotion Initiatives Swedish Music, Fashion and Digital Games Are a Few Industries That Can Promote the Image of Sweden Abroad
    2010 Press release 31 August 2010 Ministry for Foreign Affairs Music and fashion to put Sweden on the map - Government earmarks SEK 1 million for promotion initiatives Swedish music, fashion and digital games are a few industries that can promote the image of Sweden abroad. They are three creative industries that have a good reputation beyond our borders, and there is a great deal of interest in them. This is why the Government is now investing even more in the experience industry, especially since we have seen that activities previously conducted abroad have generated a lot of interest and received a positive response. These investments have helped to attract more tourists to Sweden and created an interest among foreign entrepreneurs in business opportunities. Our talented songwriters, designers and others involved in the experience industry abroad have helped to put Sweden on the world map. For a small country, Sweden has a strong position as an exporter of music - we are ranked fifth after other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The music business is an important part of the Swedish experience industry, which is an expanding export industry and a major growth sector. In 2009, the experience industry accounted for over 5 per cent of Sweden's GDP, and it employs 280 000 people. "We have seen that the experience industry is very important for people's image of Sweden abroad. When I'm out travelling, I often hear how people associate Sweden with Abba, Max Martin, Robyn, DICE and Odd Molly. This is why it's really important that we promote this sector, so that we can become even stronger and more talked about beyond our borders," says Minister for Trade Ewa Björling, who is responsible for promoting the image of Sweden.

Secretary General Li stated in his remarks that green finance is of great importance to realizing sustainable development. The 13th Five Year Plan aims to improving overall environmental quality, which is almost impossible to realize without the active involvement of China’s entire society. Therefore, he said, China must introduce innovations such as the green finance policy system so it can attract what he termed “social capital”, including international capital, into China’s environmental protection sector, and also help to promote the sound development of the financial industry.
