China is the world’s largest energy consumer and producer. Given the scale of its energy sector and its weight in global energy markets and governance, what happens in China’s energy sector and with its Belt and Road Initiative matters. Against the backdrop of rising Sino-US geopolitical and commercial tensions alongside challenges to the global climate governance and energy transition, China’s energy and climate policies will evolve over time and deserve a careful assessment. Kevin Tu, fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy, will analyze impacts of the ongoing US-China trade war on China’s energy and climate policies. A Q&A session will follow. — This event is only open to students. Since space is limited, RSVPs will be accepted on a first-come basis until capacity is reached.
