Ecological Footprint and China for a Global Shift 生态足迹与 中国领跑世界革新 Jim Leape Director General WWF International 吉姆·利普 WWF全球总干事

Living Planet Index by Income 收入与地球生命力指数 60% decline in low-income Countries 低收入国家的地球生命力指数下降60% WWF / ZSL, 2012

Ecological Footprint 生态足迹 50% in excess of Earth’s regenerative capacity 超出地球可再生能力的50% The Ecological Footprint, in partnership with GFN, tells us why: Footprint has doubled since 1966. In 2008, the most recent year for which data are available, the footprint exceeded the Earth’s biocapacity – the area of land and productive oceans actually available to produce renewable resources and absorb CO2 emissions – by more than 50 per cent. Our current overshoot is largely due to carbon emissions: and has grown 11-fold since 1961. The largest component of the Ecological Footprint is the carbon footprint (55%). At a national level the carbon footprint represents more than half the Ecological Footprint for one-quarter of the countries tracked. It is the largest component for approximately half the countries tracked Global Footprint Network, 2011

China now has the world’s largest footprint 中国-生态足迹总量全球最大

Development and Human Well-being 发展与人类福祉 人均生态足迹 人类发展指数 Global Footprint Network, 2011.

Footprint increases with urbanization 中国生态足迹随城镇化进程增加 人均生态足迹 城镇化率

54% of China’s footprint is carbon 中国54%的生态足迹来自于碳足迹 Carbon footprint has become the largest component in Ecological Footprint and the fastest growing component over the past 50 years, from 10% in 1961 to 54% in 2008. 碳足迹成为中国生态足迹中最大也是上升最快的组分,从1961年的10%上升到2008的54%。

China is a world leader in renewable energy 中国的可再生能源发展世界领先 © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK Examples China renewable energy - Solar panels. The Chinese Government has supported the development of this housing estate as part of their countryside / village act, which amongst its objectives, aims to improve the quality of life for rural citizens through improved housing. At the first stage of this eco-village there are over 600 flats that use solar energy for heating water, there is also an artificial wetland which treats the waste water. There are plans to build 2,000 eco-flats at this site. Xian Gang Eco-Village, Dong Xi Hu District, Wuhan City.

Since 1999, Africa’s growth tracks China’s 1999年以来,非洲的经济发展与中国高度相关 There is a very strong correlation between China and Africa GDP. As largest investor China’s growth has become a driver for African growth Several African countries have plans to develop green economies, so it is a good time for both to pin down what green economy means and take concrete action to make it become a reality. 11

Between 2000 and 2012, trade between China and Latin America grew by 2,550 % from $10 billion to $255 billion 2000至2012年间,中国与拉丁美洲的贸易额增长2550%,从100亿增长到2550亿 World Policy Institute, July 2013
