UK and China to lead the world - PM

The Prime Minister has said that the UK and China will "lead the world" in the construction of eco-towns and sustainable urban development.

Speaking in Shanghai, the PM announced two agreements with China on environmental issues - the provision of £50 million from the Environmental Transformation Fund (ETF) and an extension to the EU-China Near Zero Emissions Coal Programme.
"Two countries will lead the world in the creation of eco-cities and eco-towns - that is China and Britain....over the next few years the development of this new higher level of environmental cooperation will have the support of the British government."
