Briefings

A 2026 climate panel discussed how China's Belt and Road Initiative, launched in the early 2000s, has deployed over a trillion dollars globally, reshaping climate, energy, and extractive investment patterns. Speakers highlighted that this massive cross-border push is creating complex environmental challenges, with global funds pouring billions into diverse sectors like oil, gas, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure. The article notes that while China's 'green' branding exists, its actual footprint is far more complex than initially suggested.
