Countries&rsquo; heavy reliance on fossil fuels increasingly leads to pollution, ill health and climate risk, while rising geopolitical uncertainty exacerbates the economic challenges they face. In this environment, China provides a leading example of how the green transition can maintain growth even during periods of global instability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This policy insight shows why such turbulence strengthens the case for green growth, creating a strategic imperative grounded in energy security, industrial competitiveness and supply-chain resilience. The authors set out the foundations of resilient growth in China, drawing on examples from countries across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key points for decision-makers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The use of green technologies follows a triple logic of clean, secure and cheap that can underpin resilience in the economy and drive growth in an era of geopolitical uncertainty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By adopting an approach to economic development based on green growth, China can both expand the economy and reduce emissions faster than its climate targets suggest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chinese investment, manufacturing scale and exports have dramatically reduced the global costs of clean technologies, especially solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This has made clean-energy deployment more affordable for other countries while accelerating global adoption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For many developing economies, access to affordable Chinese clean technologies may significantly accelerate electrification and industrial upgrades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Despite rising geopolitical tensions, the economics of international integration still strongly favour cooperation in clean-energy supply chains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Green-finance cooperation, joint ventures and technology-transfer agreements can help countries build domestic industrial capabilities rather than simply become import markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Globally, the prevailing model of economic growth is reaching its limits.
