Features: This book is the first volume of the "General Outline of China's Sustainable Development." Standing at a global height, with the trajectory of human civilization progress as the temporal coordinate and the landscape of China's development in the 21st century as the spatial coordinate, it systematically elaborates on the strategic background, formation, objectives, key points, and actions of China's sustainable development. Based on the theories and methods of systems science, it profoundly reveals the two main threads, three-dimensional model, five subsystems, and the fundamental framework for achieving comprehensive and coordinated development of "population, resources, environment, and development" of China's sustainable development system. Drawing on the essence of cutting-edge research on sustainable development both domestically and internationally, it has woven a distinctive Chinese theoretical system, methodological system, and empirical system of sustainable development, summarizing the basic content of China's implementation of the sustainable development strategy. Among these, it has proposed a systematic direction for sustainable development research in the same field worldwide; formulated three "zero-growth" stages for entering a sustainable development state; analyzed the identification of the sustainable development system based on the "Five Support Systems"; designed an indicator system to assess sustainable development capacity; explained the inherent unity between China's modernization process and the achievement of sustainable development goals; and evaluated the sustainable development capacity building of China's provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government. This book can serve as a reference for decision-makers, planners, managers at all levels, as well as researchers and students from various international organizations engaged in theoretical and practical research on sustainable development, relevant research institutions, enterprises, and universities. At the same time, as one of the major documentary collections of the "General Outline of China's Sustainable Development," it will become an ideal choice for book collections both domestically and internationally.
