Sustainable development: China’s choice for the 21st century
What will the earth look like in the 21st century?
As acid rain, ozone depletion, and soil erosion destroy the earth’s environment and as the negative effects of economic development, such as decreased forest coverage, over-exploration of marine resources and shrinking farmland become more obvious, people have grown concerned about their future living space.
In 1987, Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland introduced the term ‘sustainable development’ in her report entitled Our Common Future to the World Environment and Development Council.
The United Nations Environment and Development Conference held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992, accepted the new term and passed the framework document called “Agenda 21”.
The conference was a milestone and marked a shift from traditional development and life styles to the start of sustained development in the global economy. It proved that development and environmental protection had finally achieved equal importance.
It is universally acknowledged that the problem of environmental protection and improvement will be solved only when it is considered in the context of development.
At that very conference, Chinese Premier Li Peng, on behalf of the Chinese government, vowed China would seriously fulfill its international obligations. Two years later, in July 1994, China enacted Agenda 21 of China and the Plan for Priority Projects in China’s Agenda 21.
It is of great international and historic significance for China, with the world’s largest population and its long history, to carry out a strategy of sustained development, remarked Maurice Strong, Secretary General of the UN Environment and Development Conference.
