China Green has released another great look at some of the environmental problems plaguing this country. This time around, we head to the Tibetan plateau's Anyemaqen mountain range and the effects of climate change there. As explained on their website:

Climate Change: China in Action, produced by the China Meteorological Administration and featured on the always excellent China Green is a short film that documents efforts by the Chinese government, as well as NGOs, scientists and corporations to address climate change:

Guanzhou sits to the southeast of the Guangzhou economic machine. It’s a place that was simply leapfrogged by development. Further south, beyond University City, is Panyu, a suburban area now boasting Asia’s largest water park. To the north and west is the dense urban network of buildings and streets of a massive city on the make. Once you zoom out a bit, the wresting of land from villagers not too far from some of the most expensive land in China seems not only inevitable but long overdue.

Multimedia enterprise China Green has been using some very well produced short films to document China's ongoing environmental issues. In this one, they take a look at Sohota Electric, a small Guangdong firm that has been making a big profit helping the country's various giants (including CCTV) retrofit their offices to become energy efficient. Considering that reports by China’s Ministry of Construction have deemed all buildings constructed before 2000 energy inefficient, it looks like Sohota will have a lot of work on their hands in the near future.
