After years of heavy industrialization, China’s environmental challenges are nearing a tipping point.

The factories and power plants that have driven its economic growth have also polluted its air, water and soil, to the point where environmental hazards could lead to a significant risk to China’s society and economy, if not corrected in a timely manner. In a bid to tackle these challenges, China’s government has declared a “war on pollution” and introduced a number of green initiatives.

Here are the most important ones:

Less coal, cleaner air

China has taken steps to dismantle coal-fired power plants, reduce overall emission levels and cut particulate-matter emission rates. Huge progress has been made on air quality, and there are now fewer smog days in China’s largest cities.

Better regulation

The former Ministry for Environmental Protection has been transformed into the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), a new entity with broader, clearer responsibilities. The new ministry will oversee all water-related policies, for example, from ocean resources management to groundwater. Previously, these were scattered among different departments. The ministry is also in charge of policies on climate change.

Funding a greener future

China needs an estimated additional RMB 40.3 trillion ($6.4 trillion) to RMB 123.4 trillion ($19.4 trillion) to finance the transition to a greener economy. It has started collecting an environment tax to help fund its environmental policies, and is also trying to attract more green investment.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a massive global programme aimed at improving inter-connectivity between countries, inspired by the ancient Silk Road, seeks to boost trade and economic growth in Asia and beyond. As Vice Premier Liu He said at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos this year, reducing pollution is one of China’s main strategic goals as it pursues this initiative, along with preventing major financial risks and alleviating poverty.

The BRI will be backed by considerable resources. At maturity, investments in the initiative are expected to hit around $4 trillion, stemming from private sources, dedicated funds, and multilateral development banks. If aligned with sustainable development priorities, these resources have considerable potential to help advance the green agenda.

The next challenge is to improve green investment standards. Recently, China launched the Environmental Risk Management Initiative for China’s Overseas Investment. There is huge potential to “green” the Belt and Road Initiative, if Chinese financial institutions and enterprises improve the environmental risk management of their overseas investments and adopt responsible investment principles. Green bonds are a win-win for investors and developing countries, since they fund the green infrastructure projects that are so urgently needed by many of these countries.

Hey there!
Terrorist groups are becoming more common because they're widespread.
In other words, they're so many of them hidden in plain sight that it's hard to stop them. Anybody, anywhere, could be one, and the government might not know until it becomes too late.
This has definitely affected arious countries. We'll go with Syria. Groups there have destroyed a lot of the country, and since they're so hard to stop, it will be quite difficult to rid the country of them.
Just like in Syria, other countries like Yemen and Lebanon have been affected, and have been hit very hard. If we can't find out a way to stop this, we could be in serious danger.
Hope this helps

kumpel [21]

Answer/Explanation

The Treaty of Versailles could have been improved in many ways. First, more countries could have helped pay for the damage, The treaty gave some German territories to neighboring countries and placed other German territories. It would have been a more settled argument if they used the 14 points which were general and not bias.  they could have made it better by more countries could have helped pay for the damage because all of the countries took part in this war. international disarmament, free trade, an international legal system, and collective security. Wilson believed war could be eliminated from the world with democracy, self-determination of rule for all nations, open diplomacy, This also could have been improved because the treaty of Versailles only blamed one country.
