Overview
Key facts
Students will be trained to examine the evolving science and policy of climate change, tussles among big global emitters regarding commitments and responsibility, and the conflicts between energy giants and interest groups in China. Parallel to that, China’s energy and environmental policies will be scrutinized in the context of global and domestic politics. Through various case studies, students are encouraged to grasp the nature of China’s national development strategies and the risks and challenges the country is facing in implementing its “green policies”. At the same time, students will be expected to apply theories of IPE while conducting analyses. Shanghai Jiao Tong University offers the China's Policy on Climate Change, Energy, and Environmental Policies programme.
