The 3rd Global China Dialogue (GCD III), with the theme of Sustainability and Global Governance for Climate Change, was held at the British Academy on 2 December 2016.

The GCD III brought into sharp relief the theories and methods underlying current debates about global climate change and how to deal with it. Four panel dicussions connected Chinese research and thinking on managing climate change with the equivalent work in the West to mount a common human effort to deal with the global threat to our life on this planet.

In sequence, the four panels reviewed the 2015 Paris Agreement from a governance perspective, presented the case for corpus-based discourse studies on climate change, examined sustainability in China’s green revolution, and questioned the deliverability of the new sustainable development goals (SDGs). The four panels were:

• Panel I Reviewing the Paris Agreement from a governance perspective
• Panel II Corpus-based discourse studies on climate change
• Panel III Sustainability in China’s green revolution
• Panel IV Delivering the Sustainable Development Goals

The GCD III also included a post-GCD event: the Corpus Approaches to Chinese Social Science (CACSS) workshop
