Abstract

On November 22, 2010, the Global Green Think-Tank Summit (GGTTS) Beijing made declaration to rewrite the crisis of human survival and achieve global economic green development. With severer global resources depletion and environmental degradation, the global economy is facing unprecedented challenges in climate change and natural disasters. Resources major economies rely on are depleted. Environmental degradation threatens human health worldwide. Meanwhile, economic competition becomes fiercer in rivalry, threatening the Earth’s limit on resources and environment. And the rapid economic growth and severe environmental degradation make the world smaller and affect each person more deeply than before. Striking a balance between development and environment is our only choice. The summit called for the implementation of green new deal and the development of green markets and green trades worldwide especially in the developed countries first.
