Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #clean energy
China wants to lead the climate agenda on its own terms – exporting clean tech and influence, while sidestepping tougher cuts and accountability.
China’s climate pivot has been shaped by its survival strategy, and this is now quickly redefining its resilience in the 21st century. Whether that power endures will depend on Asean – arguably China’s closest testbed for clean energy development. The recent Asean Summit and Apec meetings suggest China’s successes in climate and development will see a far larger reach beyond its shores.

While the West retreats, Asia powers ahead on sustainable finance
Even as political denial and regulatory paralysis grip parts of the West, a different message has been resounding across Asia – it is not retreating, but rising to the occasion.
Resource nationalism can impede energy cooperation in Southeast Asia. Asean can use a mix of carrots and sticks to deal with it.
