China is facing the challenge of climate change and environmental protection in line with the promotion of sustainable development goals. Climate change has been recognized as an increasingly serious issue at the global level, together with concerns about environmental issues (e.g. air pollution) at the local level particularly in cities. China has got an ambitious plan to achieve the goal of environmental sustainability. The presentation is going to identify existing problems to China’s environmental sustainable development, and discuss the reasons behind these environmental problems. The presentation is also going to explore solutions to China’s environmental sustainable development through a case study.
