More Sino-EU green collaboration urged

Significant complementarity in clean energy cooperation seen on both sides

Further efforts are needed to heighten collaboration between China and European nations in key areas of energy transition including decarbonization of power generation, renewable energies, sustainable recycling and the use of essential mineral resources to support global green development, said a recent report.

Jointly released by the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (SIIS), and the Beijing office of Greenpeace, a global environmental protection organization, the report also underscored the rapid pace of global energy transition and technological advancements, with a particular emphasis on the growing significance of the clean energy sector as a focal point for cooperation between China and the European Union.

A key point emphasized in the report is the significant complementarity in clean energy cooperation between China and the EU, especially in sectors of technological innovation and industry standard development. The collaboration is not only motivated by policy incentives but also by shared interests in energy security and the promotion of renewable technologies.
