China faces the challenge of achieving higher levels of development in times of climate change and within a carbon-constrained world. China has begun to implement plans for low-carbon growth, renewable energy and climate change policy. Other countries can learn from this experience - both from what has and hasn't worked. At the same time China can learn how to avoid following the same high-carbon development pathway as developed countries and how to develop low-carbon technologies.
