Sigourney Weaver explores China’s explosive economic growth and the impact it is having on the environment, not only locally but on a massive global scale. Traveling to Hong Kong, she sets out to see whether the world’s biggest polluter is fulfilling promises to reduce emissions — even as its populations and industry continue to grow. She sits down with the former U.S. ambassador to China, and other leading experts on U.S. and China relations.
