Michael Kuhndt meets Wen Jiabao,Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China There are more than 1.3 billion consumers in China. Because of this fact sustainable consumption is of major importance in China as economic growth and prosperity continue to advance. Beginning in September 2012 the task force on Sustainable Consumption and Green Development, one of two task forces created by the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED), has been co-chaired by Michael Kuhndt, Head of the CSCP, together with CCICED Vice Secretary General Xu Qinghua.
Leading China toward a sustainable year 2025 At the annual general meeting of last year’s council in December 2012, Michael Kuhndt met Wen Jiabao, the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. In November 2013 the co-chairs of the Sustainable Consumption and Green Development task force will meet with the incoming Premier to report on recommendations of the Task Force. Leading up to that time, the task force will develop a roadmap for sustainable consumption to the year 2025. The roadmap will identify the main challenges
and opportunities to advance sustainable building, housing, food and mobility. The roadmap will form a basis for future policymaking in China.
Major opportunity to advance SCP Serving as Co-Chair of the Task Force presents to the Head of the CSCP an enormous opportunity to gain insight into the market of the world’s most populous nation and to test ideas of how to mainstream sustainable consumption concepts. Further information
