With increasing environmental issues and depleting resources, the effective application of green government procurement (GGP) is urgently needed and potentially can have greater impacts in the developing world rather than in the developed world. Such an approach can help promote the general goal of sustainable development and address environmental issues through purchasing and facilitating the use of environmentally friendly services and products. This paper addresses this issue by employing a case study on China. We first trace the development of the GGP concept, its spread to Asian countries, and a number of approaches used to expand GGP adoption. We then review current practices in China on GGP, and analyze and identify some of the current barriers and problems in promoting green procurement in the Chinese governmental sector. We finally seek to identify possible appropriate capacity-building solutions, in order to facilitate the application of GGP in China.
随着环境问题日益严重和资源不断枯竭，绿色政府采购（GGP）的有效应用变得迫切需要，而且在发展中世界可能比在发达世界产生更大影响。这种方法有助于通过采购和促进使用环保服务及产品来推动可持续发展的总体目标并解决环境问题。本文通过对中国的案例研究来探讨这一问题。我们首先追溯绿色政府采购概念的发展、其在亚洲国家的传播以及一些用于扩大绿色政府采购采用的方法。然后我们审视中国目前在绿色政府采购方面的做法，并分析和确定中国政府部门在推动绿色采购方面当前存在的一些障碍和问题。我们最终力求找出可能合适的能力建设解决方案，以促进绿色政府采购在中国的应用。
