VI. Enhancing Public Awareness in Addressing Climate Change

China has all along attached great importance to education and publicity concerning the environment and climate change, as well as public participation in relevant activities. In recent years, the government has constantly guided the public in enhancing its awareness of climate change, and advocated the concept of harmonious development between man and Nature through publicizing and implementing such advanced ideas as the Scientific Outlook on Development, establishing a harmonious society and sticking to the sustainable development road.

The state makes the concept of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society an important component of school education and the mass media, and disseminates knowledge about climate change by all ways and means to sharpen the concern of the whole society about global environmental issues.

China has produced large numbers of publications and audio-video products on climate change, set up a dedicated TV weather channel and an information database to disseminate knowledge about climate change through the mass media. China fully utilizes the exemplary roles of government agencies and officials through a campaign to establish a "conservation-minded government."

Recycling economy represents the future trend of economic development. In recent years, with vigorous development of the recycling economy as focus, the government has launched a series of educational and publicity activities in order to root the idea of a recycling economy deeply in the people's minds and create a sound social atmosphere.

China will further enhance education and training in order to better deal with climate change.
