The latest \"Green GDP Index Report for 300 Chinese Municipalities\" shows that China's average Green GDP index in 2009 is 0.1151, an increase of 9.41% over that of 2008.<\/p>\n
The report, released by the World Economy Research Center at the Beijing Technology and Business University's School of Economics, also shows that in 2009 China's overall resource efficiency has been improved. The top ten municipalities in the green economic index are: Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Haikou, Qingdao, Wenzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Dalian.<\/p>\n
Currently, due to the unrestrained development in industrialization in many Chinese cities, the unwieldy economic and industrial structure, and the extensive growth model have led to the waste of resources and environmental damage. Specifically, northern Chinese cities have done badly in dust emissions while northern China is suffering from wastewater discharge.<\/p>\n
According to the report China must figure out a proper way to solve the contradiction between economic growth and resources and environment for its future development. The Chinese economy can only get into the \"efficient, harmonious, sustainable\" development channel on the basis of an ecological agriculture, recyclable manufactures, and a sustainable service industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
