环境可持续性

环境可持续性是中国崛起所面临的主要挑战，且随着中国的崛起，这也是世界所面临的主要挑战。快速工业化带来了大规模的环境恶化，环境恶化又影响到中国人口以及区域气候和全球气候。空气污染、水污染和土壤污染正在成为中国的主要健康危害，造成大规模人口迁移并对工业产生负面影响。环境污染已成为国内不满情绪的主要来源，同时也对一党制国家的持续发展构成了威胁。与此同时，许多人现在都将中国视为全球环保协议的潜在领导者，中国政府正在大力投资，以寻找更加可持续的能源消费和能源安全的解决方案。

兰卡斯特大学在环境可持续性方面拥有丰富的研究和商业合作历史。我们与中国很多地方的政府、企业、政策制定者、非政府组织和学术合作伙伴进行合作，这也是我们位于山东威海的兰卡斯特大学学院的研究重点。在为英国和其他国际商业公司和机构提供咨询和互相学习机会方面，我们也有着悠久的历史，这些公司或机构已经拥有或想要在中国拥有客户、供应商或合作伙伴。
