Currently, climate change, deficiency of water resources and decreasing farmland threatens food production in China. At the same time the change of nutritional structure and population increase have resulted in rising consumption.There are emerging concerns that China’s self sufficiency in food production may be at risk. Thus some government officials and agricultural experts have seen genetically engineered (GE) crops as a quick solution to the huge and complex food supply
challenge.

China could lead the world in wind energy development and play a larger role in combating climate change, according to China Wind Power Report 2007, the report also predicts that China’s installed wind power capacity could reach 122 GW by 2020, equivalent to the capacity of five Three Gorges Dams.
China’s current target for wind energy is 30GW by 2020. The report urges China to set a more ambitious target in order to seize the opportunity of massive uptake of wind power, and gives three different growth projections for the Chinese wind market. Given current policies, China’s installed capacity of wind energy could reach 50GW by 2020, accounting for about 4% of the total installed generation capacity. If the policy environment could be further improved, the installed capacity of wind energy could reach 80GW by 2020, accounting for 7% of installed capacity. However, if the Chinese government could give full policy support to wind power, then the installed capacity of wind energy could exceed 120GW by 2020, accounting for up to 10% of the total installed capacity of the country.

The aim of this report is to share information about what strategies have worked in U.S. localities which are similar to Hong Kong. The report does not suggest that Hong Kong has been historically responsible for an amount of pollution similar to the United States or to suggest that the Chinese government is shirking its global responsibility as the U.S. government under the Bush administration has done. It serves as examples of available options to the HKSAR who can then have a better understanding of the possibilities to tackle global warming.

Wind power is the leader in the electricity supply sector and will almost certainly play an iimportant role in our energy future. So what is the best way for the government to support and regulate the industry so that it reaches its maximum potential in the shortest amount of time?
