China, as a responsible developing country, attaches a great importance to the global
climate change.
In 2009, the Chinese government had set up the
emission reduction targets by the year of 2020 :
♦ reduce carbon-dioxide emission per unit of GDP by 40% to 45% ;
♦ the non-fossil energy per unit of energy consumption being 15%;
♦ 40 million hectares of the forest area increased;
♦ 1.3 billion m3 of stalking volume increased.
