China: the Global Leader in Sustainability?

Listen on

Episode notes

This episode is all about China, sustainability, and how we in the West have a distorted idea of how China is tackling environmental and social problems.

Here is my chat with John Pabon, a sustainability consultant, speaker, and author of the book "Sustainability for the Rest of Us." John lived in China for 10 years, from 2009 to 2019, and he saw firsthand China going from the economic growth "Wild West" of the early 2000s to introducing more ESG policies; however, everything is still very far from perfect.
