China DailyFILE PHOTO: Former US president Jimmy Carter attends an interview with Reuters in Cairo January 12, 2012. It was another eureka moment of incredible hope that after a useless and tiring Cold War, these two great nations would finally join hands, and do great things. I worked on the committee drafting ecological civilization, China's national environmental policy framework that will propel China into being the only country in the world to achieve the United Nations 2030 SDGs.
