The Contemporary China Studies Program’s fifth China’s Grand Strategy lecturer, Dr. Wang Ke, left nobody disappointed in his comprehensive lecture on global climate governance and China’s role in its implementation.

Dr. Wang Ke is an assistant professor of Environmental Economics at the School of Environment and Natural Resources.

During the lecture, Dr. Wang first set the scientific background of climate change, then explained climate governance both from an international and a national perspective.

How is climate becoming a matter of national security? Is it possible to balance global targets and national ones? Will China become a leader in the global endeavor for an ecological civilization? These were some of the thought-provoking questions Dr. Wang Ke addressed during his lecture.
