Silence on the part of authorities is giving the impression that Xi Jinping, who also happens to be party general secretary, is ending the tradition.

economic strategies underpinning environmental action: What is the core of your research? I’m an environmental economist. My work focuses on policies that create incentives and mobilise finance to tackle climate change, protect forests and restore natural ecosystems as part of climate solutions. Which aspects of the economics of land-use change are becoming key as the environmental crisis grows? It is self-evident, yet remarkable to what extent land-use decisions respond to economic incentives — when the prices of agricultural commodities increase, people plant more crops. When the prices of timber and forest products rise, people shift to planting and tending more trees. This shows there is a role for policies and incentives to move the needle in terms of the choices farmers make. The data shows us how this plays out worldwide. It’s also striking how large the reaction can be — this creates a significant opportunity for well-designed policy to make a difference.
