Sustainable Development

China is pumping investment into wind power, which is more cost-competitive than solar energy and partly able to compete with coal and gas.

Environmental issues will be under the spotlight during a working group of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which will meet in Stockholm from September 23-26.
