However, noticing the trend of the environmental issues, the public realizes that the developments of China’s environmental diplomacy have long way to go. A lot of things need to be improved, such as: organization system, operation mechanism, resource allocation etc.Now China also has to face multiple challenges, which have great impact on China, such as:China’s severe environmental issues, “China’s Environmental Threat Theory”, green barrier and interest conflicts with other developing countries. In the new era, it is impossible to avoid the problems of environmental diplomacy, like globalization, long-term and complication.
