Background

The world is facing a poly-crisis including climate urgency, energy security, and economic recovery. Meanwhile, global implementation of climate actions are insufficient to match the ambition of the 1.5 °C goal. As a driver to synergize climate mitigation, energy transition, and economic growth, renewable energy has been developing rapidly in many countries. However, increasing trade disputes, as well as the rhetoric of de-globalization and de-risking, have posed barriers to investments in and the trade of green products, such as solar panels and EVs. Accelerating the deployment of renewables in the world requires not only tapping into domestic markets, but also strengthening global cooperation through overseas investment.

COP28, which will mark the conclusion of the first global stocktake and identify the world’s progress against our climate goals, will be a decisive moment for international climate action. Taking this opportunity, supported by the Special Policy Study of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED), this session invites CCICED members, special advisors, and world experts in energy and climate to discuss topics centered on how to bridge the gap in implementation through deploying renewable energy and fostering a resilient green supply chain.
