SACU’s Expert Panel discussed what comes next for China and the world following COP26, with a focus on addressing the following questions:
- How should China’s involvement in COP26 be assessed and what role will it play in tackling climate change post COP26?
- What opportunities or challenges does China face in adhering to its green pledges? Is it doing enough in terms of policymaking and implementation, and grass roots mobilisation?
- How should countries around the world, and the West in particular, engage with China for the benefit of tackling the climate crisis?
