Editorial note:Up until now, China's rapid economic growth has come at the expense of high energy consumption and environmental pollution. Today however, this “crude” pattern of economic growth simply cannot continue. Unsustainable production factors and overstressed environmental capacity have become the biggest problems facing China's economic development. In order to transform this growth pattern, the "11th Five-year Plan" has proposed the objective to reduce energy consumption per unit of GDP by 20% and pollution discharge by 10%. This paper will present an analysis of how China will go about achieving this new objective.
