China, India and other Developing Economies- the Future Vision of Sustainability

The challenges to sustainability in China are immense, wide and visionary. Social sustainability and technological sustainability is at its helm in China. Economic progress is bolstering. In recent years, China has experienced rapid economic growth and equally rapid increase in energy use. As a result, energy induced environmental degradation has also increased in China, especially in its urban areas. Balancing China’s energy, economic and environmental goals is the primordial issue. The country is faced with great challenges in balancing its economic growth with environmental sustainability. The world needs to learn how China balanced its economic growth with sustainable development [1-3]. China and India are in the midst of immense reform. The vision of tomorrow is the vision of wide future of sustainable development and alleviation of human crisis. Crisis, barriers and catastrophes are the pallbearers of tomorrow. Vision of energy and environmental sustainable development are the framework of tomorrow’s sustainable human progress.

China as a developed nation is moving fast surpassing visionary frontiers. Environmental and energy sustainability is at its zenith in the holistic economic progress of the nation. Energy intensive economic foray in developing countries has been often accompanied by a second, related pattern of mounting air quality problems. The negative effect has been especially significant in large cities where large amounts of fossil fuels are consumed. This is particularly true in China because most energy facilities are located in or near large cities. As a result, China’s urban population is exposed to a multitude of air pollutants, often at levels higher than World Health Organization guidelines. Most of these pollutants are by-products of coal combustion , as coal provides 75% of the country’s commercial energy use and 70% of the coal used in China is bituminous with a sulphur content ranging as high as 7%. When this fact is coupled with China’s requirement for further economic expansion to meet the growing needs of its population, it is clear that China faces great challenges in balancing its economic growth with purposeful vision of environmental and energy sustainability [1].

The vision of energy and environmental sustainability is inherent in the economic planning of China [2]. Global reforms and competitiveness has urged the nation to move forward. Indian reforms as regards economic, environmental and energy sustainability is latent and immature. Severe groundwork, improved vision and economic hindsight will only move the nation forward [3]. China and its national endeavor is different. Clearly, China will enhance its energy consumption in order to sustain its immense economic growth. In this respect, the key question facing China and other Asian developing countries is not whether increased energy consumption is necessary [4]. China need to develop an energy efficient and sustainable environmental development system for the future of the economy of the country. History will surely repeat itself in a vehement and intense way. Amongst the Asian countries, Chinese economy is bolstering at a marvelous pace. Today sustainable development is at a difficult crisis. A holistic view of development involves health issues, educational issues, sustainable infrastructural development and the deep human food crisis.

Mankind’s history is reframed and re-envisioned with the example of China’s evergrowing economic progress. Man’s vision, civilisation’s prowess and economic overhauling are the visionary parameters of China’s economic progress. In comparison, India is also moving steadily towards a new scientific generation and a newer vision of holistic scientific endeavor.

Rapid economic and energy growth in Asia has brought significant growth in the quality of life in the region. However, Asia has simultaneously become one of the extensively manufacturing regions of the world. China is one of the most intensive among Asian countries [1]. Although , intensities of energy use vary in China by sector, the country on average requires three or four times as much energy input per unit output as the developed countries. An example of industrial development in human civilization throughout the world enhances scientific understanding in the relation of energy, environment and development connections [1]. Historically, early stages of industrial development have brought rapid escalation in commercial energy use. The first country to industrialize in the modern era-Great Britain- saw its energy intensity of production grow by several orders of magnitude before falling even more than it had risen [1]. This pattern of development was repeated in the case of Germany, France, the USA and Japan. It is likely that Asia generally, and China specifically, will follow this trend [1].

The relevance of energy, environment and development connections is at its zenith in India. China and other developed countries’ growth have paved the way for a greater Indian vision and a greater Indian scientific and technological regeneration [3]. Environmental and energy sustainability in India will surely surpass visionary frontiers [2].
