Facing the Policy Challenges of Climate Change: Assessing China's Strategy and Actions in International Environmental Crisis Communication

Abstract

Climate change represents an unparalleled global challenge that necessitates urgent, unified responses to mitigate its far-reaching impacts. As a leading contributor to global emissions and a key stakeholder in international climate negotiations, China's policy maneuvers, and diplomatic engagements are crucial for spearheading global efforts towards sustainable development. However, the image China presents in global climate change governance does not fully meet its expectations, which is largely due to Chinas strategic deviation in public communication. This study aims to dissect the complexities of China's strategic approach, evaluating its effectiveness, contributions, and encountered challenges within the international climate change dialogue. By focusing on China's capacity to facilitate collaborative global actions and its endeavors in promoting sustainable policies, this research emphasizes the indispensability of adept communication and robust international cooperation in combating the environmental crises of this era.
