Among the most attention-grabbing countries in the international arena stands China. This country has made great strides in Economics and technology. China's policy is also under the scrutiny of the world community. But a special place is the ecology of this country. Not only is it devastating for China, but also represents a threat to the world.

The Threat to peace

Environmental issues people's Republic of China (PRC) – is a source of rising tensions in the sphere of decisions of global problems. Third in area and first in population, China, the ecology of which has become a threat to peace, destabilizie political and economic international environment.

Environmental issues are very important for most Chinese. This area she is the most dysfunctional in the world. The country occupies the leading place for emissions of sulfur dioxide. The inhabitants of the Northern provinces are experiencing acute water shortages as rivers, sea, groundwater is contaminated. Deforestation, destruction of land resources, increased morbidity of the population – all this is characteristic of China. The ecology of the country is in distress. If nothing were to change, the consequences will be catastrophic for the inhabitants of the whole Earth. First of all will suffer Russia as a close neighbor of China. This will affect regions of the Russian Far East and Siberia.

Factors that affect the environment

Before the country's leadership is not an easy task to solve pressing environmental problems. Threatening ecological situation has arisen not on an empty place – this is a consequence of too extensive industrialization pursued by China. The environment is suffering. Natural resources are exploited to the extreme. The problem is complicated by the demographic factor, the scarcity of nature to such a scale of population, and the mistakes of the government when they adopted the policy of a great revolution in all fields relating to ecology. Economic modernization have multiplied all the environmental costs.

Pollution in cities

The number of polluted cities in the world China is doing well. Ecology 495 largest cities is in a state of environmental disaster and only five of the five hundred largest have air quality within international standards. The top ten most polluted cities in the world included seven Chinese Shijiazhuang, Chongqing, Jinan, Lanzhou, Urumqi, Beijing, Taiyuan.

The Coastal area of Tianjin speedily disappearing under the water. On average 2.5 mm/year, a decrease of glacier area of the highlands. According to forecasts, in fifty years the ecology of the China problem areas with permafrost will lead to the peak: the area will be reduced by ten to fifteen percent. This will increase the number of floods and other disasters. The sea level will rise significantly.

environment of China's challenges

Wrestling

China today is simultaneously trying to do two opposite things: to save and to destroy nature. But there is hope that common sense will prevail and China at government level will lead to preferred policy for the preservation and enhancement of natural resources. Every year more and more clearly traces the changes of mass consciousness in the direction of harmonious coexistence with nature, especially in intelligent layers.

Considerable attention is paid to environmental protection, the protection of cultural property and human resources from the human impact and adverse environment. As far as running environment of China, the photos in this article show. But even they can't convey the full scale of the devastating destruction of nature. The way out of the situation can be environmental regulations, which represents the established standards for permissible discharges and emissions of contaminating substances, limits on education and placement of waste, allowable physical impacts on nature, etc.

The price paid for the extensive industrialization

That Sounds horrific, but more than fifty cities in China, we can say, in the eyes of the residents go underground. This is due to continuous subsidence of the soil and overconsumption of groundwater. If you trace, what is ecology in China's cities, it becomes apparent that the magnitude of the problem: only one percent of one hundred can be considered a normal ecological situation.

Many towns, especially outside of Beijing, formed a funnel, which are the largest in the world. Same situation in Shanghai, Tianjin, Hangzhou, XI'an. Chinese lakes evaporate, rivers dry up, forests cut down to seventy-five percent, the top layer of soil turns into desert. These sleep desert city of China sand which gets even neighboring countries. All this is payback for being too powerful technological breakthrough at the expense of natural resources and unbridled consumption.

ecology in China's cities

This is big-little Earth

For example, meat and steel here consumed two times more than in the United States of America. Most likely, the desire to catch up in all directions, and overtake the United States turned to China great environmentalproblems.

City bordering Hong Kong, have already become ruins – locations of discarded electronics. The world is waiting for radical solutions from the PRC. People's Republic of China is not a closed system. Its problems with the environment – in the end, the problems of the world, which only at first sight is great, and in fact the planet Earth is small and vulnerable.

How to solve the problem of China?

Ecology, ways of solution of problematic issues are among the priorities of the government of the PRC. The authorities of Shanghai, for example, has already spent more than twelve billion dollars to repair the walls. For a hundred years, Shanghai went under ground for three meters! The surface of Cangzhou city for thirty years slipped by two meters and forty centimeters. In this city hospital went on the whole floor under the ground and instead of three was to have two above the ground. Roads, bridges, walls of houses are destroyed too. Eighty-five percent of the land in the North of the country, suitable for plowing, needs irrigation. Farmers drilled wells to three hundred meters to get water.

All of the existing organization for the environment in China are developing and implementing a number of saving measures to solve environmental problems. The Ministry of environment of China, no longer hiding, said that in the near future China will face the problem of environmental migrants, whose number exceeds one hundred fifty million. There is hope that the country will cope with the urgent accident.

China ecology solutions

Eco-city

Already exist and soon plan to implement the projects of eco-cities. This is in fact the achievement of the NTP. If all goes as planned, China will become a heavenly place with clean and beautiful cities. The first eco-city has built a hundred and twenty kilometers from Beijing. It build on the draft joint Singaporean and Chinese companies. The construction will be completed in 2020.

organization for the environment in China

China is implementing a plan to improve air quality cost up to 290 billion dollars. This plan included the modernization of the air-polluting factories and plants, creating clean energy sources, addressing pollution from cars. I want to believe that this country will be released. The more China wants to hold the winter Olympics in 2022. If the ecology of the country will not recover, it is unlikely that this will be possible.
