Daily energy & climate — solar, EVs, oil, the policy fights and tech bets shaping the transition. Free.
- Governments and global funds are pouring billions into oil, gas, renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and mining, per the panel's framing of the current cross-border capital landscape
- China's Belt and Road Initiative has been central to that cross-border investment trend, which the panel cast as a defining issue for environmental protection and climate action
Why it matters: By anchoring the panel's narrative around BRI, the discussion positions China's development model as the lens through which trillions in cross-border energy and infrastructure spending will be evaluated against climate goals — giving Beijing outsized influence over which fuels and technologies get financed at scale.
