The Center on Global Energy Policy hosted a presentation by Sun Xiansheng, President of China National Petroleum Corporation’s (CNPC) Economic and Technology Research Institute, on “China’s New ‘Third Plenum’ Reforms: What it Means for Chinese and Global Energy.” At the Third Plenum meeting in November 2014, China’s governing body, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, announced a series of key structural and economic reforms that will have implications for energy and environmental policies at home and abroad. President Sun discussed what these reforms could mean for energy in China and the rest of the world. CGEP Inaugural Fellow David Sandalow moderated a discussion following the presentation.
