Reviews

'Shiyi Chen's book provides a robust economic analysis of the status of China's low-carbon energy transition. Focusing on China's industrial sectors, Chen compiles extensive provincial level data on energy and environmental indicators. Chen points to the need to reform the energy pricing system and the environmental taxation system in China to achieve real economic transformation, as well as a need for developing a new indicator to evaluate economic transformation other than traditional GDP metrics. The findings of Chen's study will be of great value for readers hoping to better understand the drivers of China's carbon emissions, and for policymakers looking to assess how past economic and environmental targets in China have translated into emission reductions.' - Joanna Lewis, Associate Professor of Science, Technology and International Affairs, Georgetown University
