Exciting dialogue on the green transition of China and the world in beautiful Bath 🇬🇧.

The amazing historic city of Bath today and tomorrow is hosting a dialogue on the green transition of China. When the US is abandoning green leadership Europe 🇪🇺 and China 🇨🇳 must step up. Europe has a long tradition as a green leader and the European Green New Deal is critical. China is the indispensable nation for the green transition, producing 60% or more of all green technologies.

Europe and China must work much more closely together. Seperated we are weak. Together we are dynamite!

Researchers from the Department of International Relations at Tsinghua University will also join the workshop online.

We are excited to share that next week, SGAIN will host a Global China Workshop with @ERedefine , a research project examining the impact of China’s rise on how we understand global development and Europe’s place in it.

We will share insights from the research of our two projects, discussing methodological innovations for studying Global China, exchanging opportunities and challenges of policy and public engagements, and brainstorm future research directions for Global China.
