Energiewende ohne China? China plays a key role in global climate protection, as its climate policy significantly influences the implementation of international climate targets. While the country is pushing ahead with the expansion of renewable energies, it remains the largest emitter of greenhouse gases and is still heavily dependent on coal-fired power, which raises questions about its energy transition, technological progress and cooperation with Europe. The latest event in the dialogue series ‘Understanding China's Modernity - European Reflections’, which is being held in cooperation with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, is dedicated to China's role in the global climate protection. https://www.cassis.uni-bonn.de/en/events/upcoming-events/dekarbonisierung-ohne-china https://www.cassis.uni-bonn.de/@@site-logo/308565-st-original.jpg
