Chinese could teach Canada a few lessons about Kyoto
Friday, June 2nd, 2006I’ve got a story in today’s Toronto Star about how the Chinese, while not required to reduce emissions under the first phase of Kyoto, have in many ways been more progressive in terms of climate change and pollution policy compared to western developed countries, including Canada. The story is anchored by an interview with Canadian environmentalist, businessman and UN powerbroker Maurice Strong, a controversial figure but at the same time an influential man who is spending his time in Beijing these days advising Chinese government and industry on economic sustainability.
