Three reasons why China wants global green leadership after COP30
China wants to lead the climate agenda on its own terms – exporting clean tech and influence, while sidestepping tougher cuts and accountability.
Water

While much of the AI debate focuses on its economic potential, its expanding physical footprint tells a different story. The machines driving this revolution depend on a resource far older – and far more contested – than data or electricity.
Food & Agriculture
Reimagining agriculture for young people

To entice young people to work in food systems, policymakers should demonstrate the industry’s breadth, while providing them with the resources and skills to modernise farming and build sustainable, innovative agribusinesses.
Policy & Finance

The European Union faces a strategic choice in deciding how to deal with China’s green-tech dominance. Instead of implementing defensive industrial policy, it should try to find common cause with China on clean trade and investment, using its strengths in rulemaking and norm-setting to promote both sides’ economic interests.
