Summary
China is setting an example for the US - and the world - to follow. We should all take note. China has been able to manage the difficult task of reducing pollution without slowing down economic growth. What can the US take away from China’s unique experience?
In Falling Behind, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
- How China is slowly becoming a global climate leader and is taking over from where the US left off
- Why the world’s largest carbon emitter is being praised for its actions on climate change
- How China has transformed its polluted cities through the implementation of more than 100 policies to lower energy use and carbon emissions
- The three major areas of climate action where China is beating the US – and how it has managed to do so, despite America’s head start
- Lessons from China’s failures and successes in tackling pollution and climate change that the US can learn from
- Why a possible “war” between the US and China might actually be good for both countries - and the planet
- Why no realistic solution to climate change is possible without the participation of both China and the United States
And, much more.
Although the world often pits the US against China, when it comes to saving the planet, any progress by any country in reducing emissions is good for everyone. China has presided over the fastest industrialization and the fastest cleanup in history - it is worth taking a closer look to see how we can do better.
For the best practices on climate action, and the reasons why they’re worth doing, look no further than China.

Insightful read
I was pleasantly surprised by how well the author captured the climate change efforts in China, framing them as an example of how another super power can do much more. Glad I picked this up.
