China's Decarbonization and Energy Transformation

Event Details

Dear Members and Friends of SwissCham,

SwissCham is delighted to invite you to our upcoming seminar of the series on the topic "China's Decarbonization and Energy Transformation" on Friday, July 15, in collaboration with stars, the French Chamber (CCI France Chine), European Union Chamber of Commerce in China (EUCCC), British Chamber of Commerce and the Italian Chamber of Commerce as well with Caixin Global as media partner and the China Macro Group as knowledge partner. Meanwhile, you can also enjoy a selection of wines provided by our partner Sherpa's and broaden your network at WeWork, which has kindly provided us a fantastic venue to enjoy the afternoon together!

In our fourth conversation of this series, stars Switzerland Alumni Chapter President Markus HERRMANN, Managing Director at China Macro Group (CMG), will be talking to ZHA Daojiong, Professor of International Political Economy at Peking University's School of International Studies. China today is the largest energy consumer on the globe, the largest producer and consumer of coal and the largest emitter of carbon dioxide. In recent years, Beijing has intensified the shift towards non-fossil fuels and invested large sums into renewable energy, turning the country into a global leader in hydroelectric, wind and solar energy. But how does Beijing plan to move forward after last year's coal and electricity supply shortage? How will the current economic slowdown impact China's energy structure? Does a renewed focus on supply security and coal under the 14th Five-Year Plan endanger the "dual carbon" emission goals for 2030 and 2060 and thus the energy transition? And what impact does the war in Ukraine have on prices and Beijing's energy policy? Join us and know more about decarbonization and energy transformation in China.

Kindly note: This event is held under Chatham House Rules and will not be recorded. We are looking forward to welcoming you to this interesting seminar.

中国瑞士商会诚邀您参加于7月15日星期五与Stars、China Macro Group、中国法国工商会、欧盟商会、英国商会和意大利商会及财新网合作的"中国低碳化和能源转型"网络研讨会。同时您将品尝到由Sherpa's提供的精美葡萄酒，让我们一起在WeWork扩展机会网络并享受美好的下午时光！

本次对话，我们荣幸的邀请到stars瑞士校友会会长、China Macro Group董事总经理Markus HERRMANN对话北京大学国际关系学院国际政治经济学系查道炯教授。如今，中国是全球最大的能源消费国、最大的煤炭生产国和消费国以及最大的二氧化碳排放国。近年来，北京加大了向清洁能源的转变，并在可再生能源方面投入了大量资金，使中国成为水力、风能和太阳能领域的全球领导者。但在去年煤炭和电力供应短缺之后，北京计划如何推进？当前的经济放缓将如何影响中国的能源结构？"十四五"计划对供应安全和煤炭的重新关注是否会危及2030年和2060年的"双碳"排放目标，从而危及能源转型？乌克兰战争对价格和北京的能源政策有何影响？加入我们，了解更多关于中国低碳化和能源转型的信息。
