It begins by assessing the provincial green trade index in China after reviewing the concept and current state of green trade. Subsequently, it evaluates the potential impacts of green trade, considering its effects on the economy, environment, and society. Finally, it delves into a "five-pronged approach" of green trade advancement strategies, covering aspects of regulation, technology, finance, energy, and economy.
- Uniquely focuses on China, offering an in-depth analysis that is especially pertinent given China's global prominence in the realms of trade and environmental issues
- Discusses green growth in China from several multidisciplinary angles
- Explores the future implications of the tasks it will take to reach the goals of green trade in China
- Covers pressing contemporary topics, such as carbon border adjustment mechanisms, adding to its relevance as a critical consideration in contemporary trade and environmental policy discourse
