With China skyrocketing in terms of industrialization, it is a welcome development to see this Asian behemoth to preparing a national agenda for fighting greenhouse gas emissions. The national agenda is likely to be released this year after two years of preparation and deliberation within the government, according to this article from Reuters. When it does get approved, this will be the first policy of the Chinese government that seriously talks about climate change.

This development shows that China has joined the ranks of countries that have recognized their involvement in this global issue of climate change. With an economy that is poised to become the third largest in the world by next year, they better know how to control their emissions soon.
