China Today: Environmental Progress and Challenges

China is the largest contributor to the world's air pollution. So much so that media have dubbed China's current pollution state as an "airpocalypse" that has led to a frenzy of new green policies. Inadvertently, China is now one of the largest investors in green energy as well. The dramatic number of policy changes is promising for the climate's future, but these changes are not without their own obstacles. Is China at a tipping point? Finamore will discuss China's world status, the challenges China faces and the opportunities that may arise from this new green effort.

Speaker: Barbara Finamore, Natural Resources Defense Council
