Description

Senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute's China Climate Hub, Lauri Myllyvirta, delivers a deep dive on China’s climate picture. Why is a country responsible for the overwhelming majority of the world’s emissions also scaling renewable energy at lightning speed? Hannah crunches the numbers on whether China’s construction of coal fired power plants comes at odds with their renewable credentials.
