A NEW REPORT FROM THE CENTER ON GLOBAL ENERGY POLICY
IS CHINA STILL A DEVELOPING COUNTRY?
and why it matters for global energy and climate...
A HYBRID SUPERPOWER
China stands as the world's second-largest economy and a rising superpower, yet it grapples with challenges typical of a developing nation. With 400 million people lacking access to clean cooking technologies and facing severe pollution issues, China embodies the characteristics of a hybrid superpower.
WITH GROWING ENERGY NEEDS
In contrast to developed economies, China's energy demands are expected to surge significantly. Already the largest global energy consumer, China is projected to increase its energy consumption by 20% by 2030.
This dynamic poses crucial implications for global energy strategies and climate policies, making it essential to understand China's dual status in the global landscape.
