Healthy approach as China takes leading global green role

Technology and machines have drastically changed our way of life and improved the way we think and work over the years, especially through applications like WeChat or Didi, while logistics has made life that much easier leading to death of distance. Speed and dispatch is the new slogan. My over a dozen years in China will bear ample testimony to this. But, in the process, pollution and air quality took a hit, here and everywhere else on Planet Earth.

The Paris Agreement signed in 2015 was supposed to be the game-changing agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to deal with greenhouse-gas-emissions mitigation, adaptation, and finance.

To understand the subject better I spoke to my friend Arvea Marieni, a Hamburg, Germany-based climate change expert and an adviser to Resilience Frontiers, a United Nations-led project that promotes sustainability and regenerative prosperity globally.
