Xianchu Zhang

Chapter 19 in Research Handbook on Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance, 2024, pp 421-438 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter critically highlights the ESG developments in China as the largest developing country and the biggest carbon emitter in the world in the last decade and reviews the institutional challenges facing the country’s sustainable development in the future, particularly its ambition to peak its CO2 emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. The analysis and examination focuses on the distinctive characteristics of China as a socialist market economy as the key to understand the crucial legal, governance and ideological issues concerned.
