Climate Public Expenditure and Institutional Review (CPEIR): A Study of Hebei Province
This report presents China’s Hebei province as a case study for analyzing local government policies, institutions and budget on actions that contribute to tackling climate change. It builds on a previous report launched in April of 2015 that conducted a Climate Public Expenditure and Institutional Review in China at the national level. This year’s report does so at the sub-national level by presenting China’s Hebei province as a case study for analyzing local government policies, institutions and budget on actions that contribute to tackling climate change. Moreover, the report takes one step further to analyze the costs and benefits of climate spending, choosing over-capacity reduction projects as the focal of analysis given its scale and impact across social-economic and environmental sustainability.
Belt and Road Initiative
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an economic framework that aims to link different regions through infrastructure construction, transport and economic corridors and by bridging China with the rest of the world both physically, financially, digitally and socially. UNDP and the People’s Republic of China signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on cooperation on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in September 2016. The MOU outlined a strategic cooperation framework to enhance collaboration between UNDP and the Chinese government for the implementation of the BRI and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In order for the participating countries along the Belt and Road to fully benefit from the potential of enhanced connectivity, it is crucial to strengthen the links between the Initiative and the Sustainable Development Goals. Those 17 Goals can guide the policies and actions under the Belt and Road towards true sustainable development.
UN can help make poverty past tense- By Nicholas Rosellini
With its efforts and achievements, China will have many successful stories to share, taking it one step closer to making poverty history. Between 2013 and last year, a total of 55.64 million people were lifted out of poverty-an average of 13.91 million per year, resulting in a reduction of poverty incidence from 10.2 percent in 2012 to 4.5 percent last year, which is a big achievement in the past five years under the leadership of President Xi Jinping. As the world has signed up for the Sustainable Development Goals, there is an increasing need for other developing countries to learn from China regarding its poverty reduction experiences. There is a web of interrelated factors that can help explain China's achievement. Yet it all boils down to one fundamental enabling element-effective governance for human development, with strong leadership. There are at least three important lessons in this aspect.
