Only by observing the laws of nature，can mankind avoid costly blunders in its exploitation. Any harm we inflict on nature will eventually return to haunt us, this is a reality we have to face. With unremitting efforts, we have established various new development modes of green economy, including Practice of Lishui City and Practice of Wuyuan County. The course is consisted of Eco-environmental Issues, Teaching Materials and Practices, Research Hotspots and Fronts, Circular Economy, Low-carbon Economy, Green Economy, Sustainable Development, Ecosystem Services, Ecological Footprints, Environmental Policy Assessment. Through the course, students are expected to grasp the theoretical fronts and hotspot issues on the green economics, comprehend China’s practices in green development, and foster academic and cultural literacy. Course features: fully English teaching, bilingual subtitles, 47 lecture videos provide you the basic theories of Green Economy and Practice in China, which not only vividly explain the idea that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets and stories from China, but also increase the interesting of learning.
