As the world grapples with the escalating climate crisis, the need for international cooperation & innovative solutions has never been more urgent. However, with the U.S.' withdrawal from key environmental initiatives, China has been pushed to the forefront of global climate leadership.
CINGS & YCW invite you to speak with our experts to understand how China is now engaging with the EU, the Global South, & potentially even local American interests in the climate space, as well as how all players can reposition themselves amidst the challenges & opportunities in international climate governance.
