摘要

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) has emerged as a focal point of global concern, accentuated by the mounting challenges posed by climate change. China, as the world's largest developing nation, plays a pivotal role in shaping global sustainable development through the formulation of its ESG policies and regulatory framework. This chapter conducts a thorough examination of China's “Dual Carbon” strategy and ESG policies then analyses the synergies and complementarities between them. Besides, it scrutinizes the structure of China's ESG regulatory framework and its ramifications for corporate conduct, also forecasts the future regulatory trends and proposes feasible corporate responses, thereby enriching our understanding of how policy formulation intersects with business practices in the domain of sustainable development.
