Wpływ polityki klimatyczno-energetycznej Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej na kształtowanie bezpieczeństwa w państwie 

Abstract

W ostatnich latach Chińska Republika Ludowa (ChRL) prowadzi coraz aktywniejszą politykę klimatyczno‑energetyczną, zarówno na szczeblu krajowym, jak i międzynarodowym. Wzrost zainteresowania sprawami środowiskowymi znajduje odzwierciedlenie w składanych deklaracjach oraz podejmowanych inwestycjach. Rząd chiński ma świadomość, iż walka ze zmianami klimatycznymi jest kluczowa dla zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa i dobrobytu społeczeństwa. W niniejszym artykule autorka przedstawi działania podejmowane przez ChRL oraz wskaże ich wpływ na kształtowanie bezpieczeństwa w państwie.


The impact of the PRC’s climate and energy policy on shaping security in the country

In recent years, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has pursued an increasingly active climate and energy policy at both the national and international level. The increased interest in environmental issues is reflected in the declarations that have been made and the investments that have been undertaken. The Chinese government is aware that the fight against climate change is crucial to ensure the security and well‑being of society. In this article, the author will present the measures taken by the PRC and indicate their impact on shaping security in the country.
