Cleaner, Greener and Closer
Sharing of experience and knowledge promises to bring great benefit both to China and to Europe. Despite global challenges, EU-China environmental cooperation remains strong, and is likely to continue.

China endeavors to improve energy efficiency and accelerate energy transition so as to achieve its ambition of “dual carbon goals,” which will lead to an even further boom in low-carbon technologies and a significant decline in fossil fuel utilization in the years to come.
Energy efficiency and conservation measures offer the largest, fastest and cheapest opportunities to cut energy use – as well as carbon, social and environmental impacts – and must be ramped up.
China’s top-level design, national strategies, and unprecedented efforts for green development have set a good example of pollution prevention to the developing countries grappling with climate change, environmental pollution, and habitat depletion.
When China, Europe and the U.S. work together, they can solve the most complex problems and contribute to the advancement of humankind.
Climate change is more important than geopolitics.
Climate change makes clear the interconnected nature of humanity and of life itself. It demonstrates the inconsequential nature of national borders and the irrelevance of different national political systems.
Climate change is a class issue. The over-consumption of a wealthy minority is fueling the climate crisis but it is poor communities and young people who are paying the price.
China should not be bothered much by these propaganda campaigns and keep working on its goal of eco-civilization and help other countries, especially the developing countries.
It is both a challenge and opportunity for China’s economy to go carbon neutral in the following 40 years. Increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption is an inherent requirement of high-quality development.
China has also increased investment in clean and renewable energy. The data of the BRI investment shows a steady increase in investment for green energy.
Dramatic collective action and reform in decision-making are pivotal to rectifying the failure in the management of international climate public goods.
