All Things Policy

China's Great Green Leap Forward


Listen Later

In this episode of "All Things Policy," Rakshith explores China's remarkable rise as a green energy superpower with Wanyuan Song, a section editor at the China Desk at Carbonbrief. China, the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, has set ambitious targets to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Wanyuan traces the roots of these climate goals in China's national plans and discusses the key policies driving the country's clean energy transition. However, China's path to decarbonisation is not without challenges. The recent US tariffs on Chinese solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles have sparked concerns about a potential green trade war. Wanyuan shares her insights on these trade disputes. We also discuss China's innovative approaches to green finance, including the development of a innovative financing mechanisms and the role of private capital in funding the low-carbon transition. As the world races to combat climate change, China's success in greening its economy could have far-reaching consequences. Tune in to this engaging conversation to understand the complexities, challenges, and opportunities of China's green energy revolution.
