This report analyses the discrepancies in China's regional economic and environmental development in terms of working towards becoming an Ecological Civilization. A new model of development is suggested, one that is 'greener' and places more emphasis on domestic consumption. As CCICED enters Phase V of its work (2012-2016), this report emphasizes the need to balance regional development and design differentiated regulations and incentive systems that are both fair and workable.

This report highlights existing imbalances in regional benefit distribution and a lack of policy coordination in relation to population, economy, resources and the environment in China. It provides recommendations on: green development, institutional and policy innovation and enforcement, air pollution, marine environmental, and risk prevention.
