Lindstrom said he understands China needs to balance economic growth with environmental protection, noting that his country has experience that might support China. Lindstrom said Sweden has some useful environmental technology but, more than that, it has developed a wide range of non-technical measures to fight global warming.

"These are not very hi-tech measures but ones that each nation has at its disposal," Lindstrom said. The Swedish ambassador to China, Mikael Lindstrom said China is making "a very important contribution, more than many realize", referring to the country's goal of reducing energy consumption per GDP by 20 percent from the 2005 levels by 2010. "But that's not enough", he said. |
