PAGE Jiangsu (China)ProvincialLogframe(28June2016)– Draft

As the second largest economy in the world, China has not only positioned itself as an emerging economic power, the country is also gradually shifting its development focus toward sustainability. Ecological Civilization, which is the Chinese concept for a sustainable development framework, has received unprecedented attention from high-level leadership in China at both central and local levels, and is also gaining recognition internationally. The new 13th Five-Year plan (2016-2020) has also placed green development as one of the top national priorities, which indicates clear development direction for provincial governments to implement.

With PAGE support, Jiangsu Province of China aims to achieve two main objectives:1) To identify and exemplify successes and good practices at the policy, business, and sub-provincial levels to inspire other provinces and countries; and 2) To identify and analyse major challenges to green economy policy implementation.
