China's climate policy after Copenhagen - What's next?

哥本哈根后的中国的气候政策

Presented by : Thibaud Voïta (Asia Center - SciencesPo), Damien Navizet (Deputy representative - French Agency of Development) and Gabrielle Harris (Executive Director - Planet Finance)

1st part - China's Climate Change Policy: Reluctant Outside, Ambitious Inside
Thibaud Voïta, Asia Centre(SciencesPo).
Based in Beijing, Thibaud works on China's energy and environment policy. He has conducted several works on China's high-tech programs (coal-to-liquids, Electric Vehicle, Smart Grid, etc.)
"So far, China has been reluctant to accept any compromise during the Copenhagen summit. This attitude is surprising: China is developing very ambitious projects to slow down its emissions and is said to become one of the leading green power in the next years: see its energy efficiency program, its investments on renewable energy (solar – wind), its grid modernization, the green cars development, R&D on CCS, etc. But Beijing does not accept any political interference and does not seem ready to accept any emission restraint from abroad. "

2nd part - French Agency of Development 's (AFD) programs China
Damien Navizet - Deputy Director
“As a French public operator dedicated to the fight against Climate change, AFD is committed to supporting projects with significant impacts on GHG reductions and bilateral partnership in China. After a brief feedback from its involvement in Copenhaguen, AFD Beijing will summarize its mandate and projects in the framework of the national Chinese policies, such as low carbon cities, green credit lines, green building etc… and in close connexion with all relevant French operators (such as companies and NGOs in Chinese rural areas)”.
