This book offers a selection of views from Chinese and European experts and scholars on the most pressing environmental challenges - air quality, global warming, climate change, energy security, urbanisation - faced by Europe and China in 2013. The contributors also discuss possibilities of technical cooperation between the two sides on remedies for the domestic scene as well as contributions to international negotiations. These problems top the agenda of the new leadership in China and also feature prominently on the EU-China agenda for EU's efforts to mitigate climate change.
