Taking the Temperature on China’s Green Transition
In 2020, president Xi Jinping announced the most ambitious climate target in his country’s history. China, the world’s biggest emitter of CO2, aims to achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2060.
Meeting the target will be very difficult. It requires development of innovative technologies across many industries. It also requires a stable relationship with the rest of the world, as trade and knowledge exchange are key parts of the solution.
This webinar examines China’s progress on fulfilling its green ambitions. We have invited a distinguished panel of experts and practitioners to enlighten us on relevant topics. You will learn whether Chinese enterprises and research institutions possess the competencies to spearhead the progress? Can Western technologies play a long-term role considering the deteriorating geopolitical situation? Will solving other domestic challenges from skewed demographics to a poor healthcare system force China’s political leadership to downplay the green agenda?
We also take look at the current status and future implications for Danish businesses with green solutions.
