Byford Tsang is a senior policy adviser at E3G, an independent climate change think tank, working on China’s climate policies and EU-China climate diplomacy.

China can prioritise climate concerns in debt relief, and support reforms and expansion at multilateral development banks so they can lend more to low-carbon projects and phase out fossil fuel financing.

China’s surge in coal production to handle rising electricity demand is not a boom but rather an act of crisis management. The sight of new coal power plants being built and Beijing having second thoughts about its climate commitments should be a huge concern.
