Its core tasks are to conduct policy research on environment and sustainable development problems of domestic, regional or global significance and provide policy recommendations to the Chinese government. Over the past 28 years, CCICED has witnessed and taken part in China’s historic shifts in development philosophy and model. It has opened the door to international experience on sustainable development and built a bridge to promote exchanges between China and the international community on environment and development. It has also provided a valuable platform for two-way dialogues, enabling the international community to improve understanding of Chinese approaches and support the country’s engagement with the world. The year 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. It is a crucial year for winning the tough battle of pollution prevention and control and securing a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. It also witnessed the start of drafting the 14th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development. Faced with sluggish global economic growth and mounting downward pressure in the domestic market, China needs to find a new way out to implement its new development concepts, promote ecological civilization construction, enhance ecological and environmental protection and achieve high-quality development. Against such background, CCICED held its 2019 Annual General Meeting with the theme of “A New Era: Towards a New World of Green Prosperity” to discuss issues on green transition and high-quality development during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period. Han Zheng, Vice Premier of the State Council and CCICED Chairperson, pointed out at the Closing Ceremony of the Annual General Meeting, that China will continue to embrace green development to pursue modernization characterized by harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and contribute to global ecological security. It is agreed by Chinese and international CCICED Council Members that China’s economy has been transitioning from a phase of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development. Such a transition will effectively address the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life, and promote ecological and environmental protection and sustainable development. Green development is a major component of high-quality development. Forming consensus on green development is the base for the construction of ecological civilization. As an annual publication, the Policy Report is based on the research outputs of CCICED in 2019. It presents the policy recommendations proposed by Chinese and international CCICED Council Members, Special Advisors, and experts, for the reference of decision makers of all levels, scholars and the public. Acknowledgement China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) conducted a series of research projects in 2019 with the support of Chinese and international experts (including Council Members) and partners, including: Global Climate Governance and China’s Role, Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Conservation, Global Ocean Governance and Ecological Civilization, Green Urbanization Strategy and Pathways towards Regional Integrated Development, Ecological Compensation and Green Development Institutional Reform in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB), Goals and Pathways for Environmental Improvement by 2035, Green Transition and Sustainable Social Governance, and Green Belt and Road and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Implementing the New Idea of Green Development Towards a New World of Green Prosperity*(Excerpts) (Preface One) HAN Zheng China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) 2019 Annual General Meeting has completed its agenda and is now drawing to a successful close. Here, on behalf of the Chinese government, I wish to express warm congratulations on the complete success of the meeting. The theme of this Annual General Meeting—“A New Era: Towards a New World of Green Prosperity”—is most fitting under the current circumstances.

Green development has become a trend of today’s world, which represents people’s aspirations to live a better life and the direction of human civilizations going forward. China attaches great importance to the construction of ecological civilization. Since the 18th CPC National

  • China at the Gates a New Power Audit of Eu-China Relations
    CHINA AT THE GATES A NEW POWER AUDIT OF EU-CHINA RELATIONS François Godement & Abigaël Vasselier ABOUT ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values- based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: • A pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over two hundred Members - politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries - which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Carl Bildt, Emma Bonino and Mabel van Oranje. • A physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Sofia and Warsaw. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • Developing contagious ideas that get people talking. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to carry out innovative research and policy development projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR produces original research; publishes policy reports; hosts private meetings, public debates, and “friends of ECFR” gatherings in EU capitals; and reaches out to strategic media outlets. ECFR is a registered charity funded by the Open Society Foundations and other generous foundations, individuals and corporate entities.

Abstract. Promoting the construction of characteristic towns under the background of new urbanization is an important way for my country to break the bottleneck of economic development and realize economic transformation and upgrading. In recent years, although the construction of characteristic towns in Sichuan Province has achieved remarkable results and a large number, especially tourist and leisure characteristic towns accounted for the largest proportion, they still face urgent problems such as avoiding redundant construction, achieving scientific development, and overall planning. This study takes 20 cultural tourism characteristic towns selected by the first batch of Sichuan Province as the research object, combined with field research and tourist questionnaire surveys, and screened out relevant influencing factors of characteristic towns from different aspects such as transportation, economy, industry, ecology, historical and cultural heritage. Analyze the correlation with the development level of characteristic towns in order to find out the key factors affecting the development of characteristic towns of this type, provide a policy basis for the scientific development and overall planning of reserve characteristic towns in our province, and contribute to the construction of new urbanization And provide advice and suggestions on the development of tourism industry in our province.

  • New Leaders Begin the Search for Economic Reform
    Signaling Change: New Leaders Begin the Search for Economic Reform Barry Naughton Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang are now the two top leaders in China. Both have moved quickly to break with the Hu-Wen Administration and signal their support for dramatic new economic reforms. The structure of the new Politburo Standing Committee appears to support their aspirations. Neither Xi nor Li has yet committed to specific reform measures, and the obstacles to reform are formidable. However, both Xi and Li have committed to a process that will lead to the creation of a reform program by late 2013. From the standpoint of economic reform policy, the outcome of the 18th Party Congress was clear and unambiguous. The two top leaders, Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang, emerged from the Congress with a substantial degree of room to maneuver. Both leaders quickly displayed their willingness to break with what had become business as usual under Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao. Xi and Li, each in his own way, moved quickly to express their intention to support a revitalized program of economic reform. Xi Jinping has received most of the attention, which is certainly appropriate. Xi has brought a more direct and personal style to the top job, a refreshing change of pace that has generally been welcomed both in China and abroad, and has shown that he intends to keep an eye on economics. Li Keqiang has also begun to signal his intentions. Although Li’s approach is more understated—in part because he will not actually step in as Premier until the March National People’s Congress meetings—his comments merit close attention.
