Abstract

FEEM researcher Nicoletta Ferro interviews Mr. Li Gao, Director of the Climate Change Department of China's National Development and Reform Commission. In the interview Mr. Li Gao comments the Mexican summit and the results achieved, while discussing China's strategy for addressing climate change. What emerges from the interview is that the next few years are likely to mark a cross-road in Chinese politics, and that climate change policies will play an important role in China's 12th Five-year Plan.
