Strengthening China's Grassroots Movement to Address Climate Change - Gordon, Salaverry, Tao, Yun

 
Most efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in China have focused on top-down, governmental initiatives. Yet to be successful, these and other initiatives will have to be implemented at a grassroots, community-based level. This session will allow participants to learn about on-the-ground environmental efforts in China while exploring obstacles and opportunities for grantmaking to China. With David Gordon and Daniela Salaverry, Pacific Environment; Fu Tao (China); and Ge Yun, Xinjiang Conservation Fund (China)
