World Green Design Forum
China is going green, and that’s not even news.
According to a research conducted by the New York Times in March, the Paris based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development warned that urban air pollution is set to become the top environmental cause of mortality worldwide by 2050, ahead of dirty water and lack of sanitation. It estimated that up to 3.6 million people could end up dying prematurely from air pollution each year, mostly in China and India.
It is no mystery that China is taking the problem very seriously and on a more global scale, governments and international organizations are putting the green issue straight on the top of their agenda.
