China leads the world in green technologies – while also being the largest emitter of greenhouse gases. It plans an expansion of the use of these technologies to ‘green’ its economic growth, as outlined in the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and 15th Five-Year Plan – and our China Programme is designed to support this process domestically and ensure that it advances a green transition globally
The China Programme conducts policy-relevant research into the country’s green transition and China’s role in the transition globally. We are supporting Chinese officials as they design policies to green the country’s growth and encourage other countries’ green development. The Programme is also supporting policymakers in other countries in their approach to dealing with China in the global green transition and to learn lessons from China’s experience.
