Falling Behind

How China Overtook US in the Fight Against Climate Change and How the US Can Catch Up

By: Fahd Nazir

Narrated by: Phil Schoen

China is setting an example for the US - and the world - to follow. We should all take note. China has been able to manage the difficult task of reducing pollution without slowing down economic growth. What can the US take away from China’s unique experience?

In Falling Behind, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

• How China is slowly becoming a global climate leader and is taking over from where the US left off
• Why the world’s largest carbon emitter is being praised for its actions on climate change
• How China has transformed its polluted cities through the implementation of more than 100 policies to lower energy use and carbon emissions
• The three major areas of climate action where China is beating the US – and how it has managed to do so, despite America’s head start
• Lessons from China’s failures and successes in tackling pollution and climate change that the US can learn from
• Why a possible “war” between the US and China might actually be good for both countries - and the planet
• Why no realistic solution to climate change is possible without the participation of both China and the United States

And, much more.

Although the world often pits the US against China, when it comes to saving the planet, any progress by any country in reducing emissions is good for everyone. China has presided over the fastest industrialization and the fastest cleanup in history - it is worth taking a closer look to see how we can do better.

For the best practices on climate action, and the reasons why they’re worth doing, look no further than China.

A nice piece of work by Mr Fahd Naveed

Echo systems and environmental informations is well explained by the writer, loved it. ❤️❤️❤️Great prece of work

Great

Informative and the topic was exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend.

A wonderful book, a beacon and a whistle blower for the future challenges that nations around the globe will face.

I found this book extremely important to understand the worst effects of climate change that can destroy the business, livelihood and future of eco system of our earth. The author gave us hope by referring to China. How they polluted the air quality with their industrial growth, to my surprise, I came to know how did they fixed it within one decade by using environmentally friendly policies and procedures. It’s an eye opener for USA and rest of the world.

Thinking in the right direction

Very good effort. We need more ppl to think in this direction. We have only one planet we can call home. Need to save it and USA must be leading the efforts like they do in space and biotech research etc
