Abstract

During the 20th century China has faced one of biggest changes of its history. The country passed from being a country whose economy was largely based on agriculture to a major industrialized country. This process of modernization has passed through some historical passages, most notably the Chinese Revolution that established in 1949 the People’s Republic of China. However, modernization has its own price to be paid, that now is mostly settled by nature. In fact, one of the key point of Chinese development is the progress of industry and urbanization that necessarily lead to an increase of pollution production. Pollution and climate change are global problems that not only China has to face, but as one of the most polluting and vulnerable country China can not ignore them.
