Brief

Innovative finance mechanisms to protect water resources in the Xin’an River Basin

Innovative finance mechanisms to protect water resources in the Xin’an River Basin

This brief shows how innovative financing can help cut agricultural pollution in the People’s Republic of China’s Xin’an River Basin by plugging funding gaps for nature-based solutions that also mitigate against climate change. It highlights the importance of the basin that supplies drinking water to 10 million people and explains how insufficient financing is limiting the effectiveness of existing ecological compensation schemes. Offering policy recommendations to incentivize environmental protections, the brief details how two ADB-backed funds can be scaled up to support efforts by farmers and small businesses to make the watershed green, sustainable, and inclusive.

Circular agriculture for sustainable and low-carbon development in the People’s Republic of China

2022Kimura, Shingo; Chen, Kevin Z.; Gong, Binlei
Details

Circular agriculture for sustainable and low-carbon development in the People’s Republic of China

Detailing the environmental impact of the PRC’s previous high-growth agricultural policies, it outlines its plan to cut emissions from fertilizers, paddy fields, and livestock to help reach its 2060 carbon neutrality target. Drawing on ADB field studies, it recommends the PRC build institutional capacity, boost private investment, and develop bio-based value chains to create a low-carbon, circular model that helps the rural sector become more prosperous and sustainable.
