As the world’s largest manufacturer of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and EVs, China is well placed to help deliver low-carbon technologies to emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) as part of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), one of the largest outbound infrastructure and investment initiatives in history.
Thus, the World Economic Forum (WEF) collaborated with PwC China to prepare an insight report titled “Advancing the Green Development of the Belt and Road Initiative: Harnessing Finance and Technology to Scale Up Low-Carbon Infrastructure”.
The insight report considers green investments in Belt and Road countries, identifies gaps and sustainable development opportunities, and assesses how green investments can tackle the challenges of expanding low-carbon and climate resilient infrastructure. It uses case studies to highlight the low-carbon technologies, financial sector players, financial instruments and policy measures that can and need to come together in advancing the green development of the BRI.
