Book Synopsis
A comprehensive study of the growth, potential, and limits of transnational eco-certification in China and the implications for other emerging economies.

China has long prioritized economic growth over environmental protection. But in recent years, the country has become a global leader in the fight to save the planet by promoting clean energy, cutting air and water pollution, and developing a system of green finance.
