And the library, as a natural green cultural institution, no doubt should walk in the forefront of the times. Libraries exist so that people can coown books; the same book can allow different people to read, recycle constantly, which is inherent attribute of green library.展开更多

The social fairness was analyzed with a community scale as the basis. We combined social scientific methods with a GIS method using a behavior accessibility model from the perspectives of fairness of urban green space allocation based on social geography, geographic information science, management science and many other related discipline theories. The results show that: 1) Most of the urban green space distribution presents an unbalanced phenomenon, and it does not match with the population distribution; 2) We found some differences in the accessibility of the population with different attributes and opportunities to use and enjoy the urban green spaces, mainly due to: the dual social and spatial attributes of the residents and the serious stratum differentiation generated were the internal causes; the residential space differentiation and the pursuit of economic and real estate development were the direct causes; and unreasonable planning, in regard to the fact that government policies did not give consideration to efficiency and fairness, was also an important factor.展开更多

To promote the green development of the economy and the society, we must look far and aim high, and we must take a holistic approach, coordinate the strategic measures in the fields of the economy, the politics, the culture, the society, the natural environment, and international cooperation, as well as emphasize the logic, the connection, and the hierarchy of different systems, then establish a synergetic mechanism of the green development so that various measures will be coordinated and brought forward to maximize the effect in the joint effort of promoting the green transformation of the economy and the society.展开更多

This is an intrinsic obstacle to creating a more equitable, democratic and effective global climate or environmental governance system. Criticism of international carbon politics and its ＂ecological imperialism,＂ based on traditional ＂green-left＂ theories from Marxist philosophy and political economy, provides a theoretical basis for seeking an alternative way to cope with global climate change effectively. As a responsible developing country, China＇s response to climate change is not only an internal requirement for the promotion of its own sustainable development, but also reflects its responsibility to create a community of shared future for mankind. This rationale for our time determines that it is necessary for China to become a world leader in coping with global climate change and environmental governance through a leadership which lies in making a contribution rather than fighting for hegemony.展开更多
