Currently, it contributes about 26% of global carbon emissions, its economy is still rapidly developing, and many of its sectors and regions are heavily dependent on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve the target, new investment of around 138 trillion yuan (US$20 trillion) will be needed between 2020 and 2050 in the energy system alone, over 2.5% of annual GDP, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/researchers-unveil-roadmap-for-a-carbon-neutral-china-by-2060\/\">a recent study<\/a> from Tsinghua University\u2019s Institute for Climate Change and Sustainable Development. On top of that, investments will be needed to make existing infrastructure resilient against the consequences of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u2019s green finance sector will be key to mobilising and utilising these investments. The sector has enjoyed significant growth in recent years, but in the decades to come, green finance will need to do more than \u201ccatch up\u201d if China is to successfully decarbonise its economy. To reach carbon neutrality by 2060, China will need to develop its domestic green finance industry and attract international investors. It also needs to improve its overseas investments, particularly within the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), to make its climate commitments credible to the international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-investment-in-china-s-energy-infrastructure-in-2020-2050-under-different-scenarios\">Investment in China\u2019s energy infrastructure in 2020-2050 under different scenarios<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1-1024x656.png 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1.png 1785w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 1785px\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">Source: Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development, Tsinghua University<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1.png\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"151 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1143\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1785\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-green-finance-in-china\">Green finance in China<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the size of its economy, it should be no surprise that China has quickly become the largest green finance market, with about 11 trillion yuan (about US$1.8 trillion) in green credit and about 1 trillion yuan (about US$190 billion) in green bonds by 2020. According to the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC), key sectors for green credits include green transportation (37%), emerging industries (about 21%), renewable energy (about 20%) and industrial energy saving (about 5%). Of the green bonds issued since 2016, 59% served multiple purposes (such as transportation, energy production and energy saving), while 13% were issued specifically for clean energy projects and 11% were for clean transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-accordion block--accordion\"><span class=\"block--accordion__title\">What is green finance?<\/span><div class=\"block--accordion__content\"><div class=\"block--accordion__content__inner\"><p>Green finance is a system of regulation, financial actors and markets aiming to accelerate financing of ecologically friendly economic development, for example through investing in renewable energy, public and electric transport and energy efficiency for industry. It encompasses financing pollution prevention, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and biodiversity protection.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing the green finance market has helped China control the pollution and ecological damage resulting from 40 years of breakneck economic growth. It has required setting green financial standards, incentive mechanisms, environmental information disclosure requirements, product innovation and local pilot projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These efforts were given a boost in 2012 when the CBIRC introduced its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gflp.org.cn\/public\/ueditor\/php\/upload\/file\/20181106\/1541438088498422.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">green credit guidelines<\/a> for banks to provide credit to companies.<br><br>Then in 2015, the People\u2019s Bank of China, the country\u2019s central bank, issued <a href=\"https:\/\/greenfinanceplatform.org\/financial-measures-database\/peoples-bank-china-green-bond-endorsed-project-catalogue\">green bond guideli<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/greenfinanceplatform.org\/financial-measures-database\/peoples-bank-china-green-bond-endorsed-project-catalogue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/greenfinanceplatform.org\/financial-measures-database\/peoples-bank-china-green-bond-endorsed-project-catalogue\">es<\/a>.<br><br>In 2016, seven ministries issued the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scio.gov.cn\/32344\/32345\/35889\/36819\/xgzc36825\/Document\/1555348\/1555348.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guiding opinions on building a green financial system<\/a>\u201d.<br><br>In October of this year, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s\/ng_CG7-vPPA5ubevt4PVaA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guidance on promoting investment and financing to address climate change<\/a>\u201d (Climate Finance Guidance) was jointly issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment<strong>,<\/strong> the National Development and Reform Commission, the People\u2019s Bank of China, the CBIRC, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China has also initiated and participated in several international forums promoting green finance, such as the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ngfs.net\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NGFS<\/a>), and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainablebankingnetwork.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sustainable Banking Network<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-next-steps-at-home\">Next steps at home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u2019s green finance industry needs access to cheaper and more inclusive finance. At the annual meeting of China\u2019s Green Finance Committee<strong> <\/strong>in September 2020, Chen Yulu, deputy governor at the People\u2019s Bank of China, highlighted the need for systematic institutional arrangements to be made in the 14<sup>th<\/sup> Five Year Plan period (2021-2025) to improve green finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include a green finance standard system to align green credit, green industry and green bond standards; a green finance performance evaluation system for financial institutions that goes beyond box-ticking to look at actual environmental outcomes; an extended green finance support policy toolbox to mobilise green and demobilise brown finance, including incentives and taxes; and expanded environmental information disclosure allowing for better decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-pull-quote block--pull-quote block--pull-quote--no-citation\"><div class=\"block--pull-quote__wrapper\"><blockquote class=\"block--pull-quote__quote\">If China\u2019s commitment to fighting global warming&#8230; is to be taken seriously, it should stop financing coal plants overseas.<\/blockquote><cite class=\"block--pull-quote__cite\"><\/cite><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/energy\/10166-ma-jun-europe-and-china-have-different-priorities-on-green-finance\/\">Ma Jun<\/a>, one of the most prominent figures in the development of green finance in China, also emphasised the need for guidelines for financial institutions on climate risk analysis. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment <a href=\"https:\/\/m.thepaper.cn\/newsDetail_forward_9545396?mc_cid=ab8ea7b3b4&amp;mc_eid=a6bb791afd\">recently reiterated<\/a> that the national carbon market must start as soon as possible, an ambition that was echoed in the Climate Finance Guidance released in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-attracting-foreign-investment\">Attracting foreign investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign holdings in Chinese bonds have increased in recent years, but their share in China\u2019s bond market has hovered at only 2.6%. Attracting more foreign investors will require lower transaction costs and further removal of barriers for foreign investors. China also needs to harmonise its own green finance standards with those of international markets in terms of classification, certification and evaluation of green financial products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greater harmonisation would attract more direct investment into green projects or the issuance of yuan-denominated bonds, so-called \u201cpanda bonds\u201d. It would also encourage Chinese issuers to offer more yuan-denominated bonds abroad for projects in China as well as making it easier for China\u2019s investors to invest into other markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The publication of <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/chinas-new-green-bond-catalogue-could-be-greener\/\">a new green bond standard draft in May 2020<\/a> was a step in the right direction as it mostly excluded \u201cclean coal\u201d. The latest Climate Finance Guidance, however, stresses the application of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndrc.gov.cn\/fggz\/hjyzy\/stwmjs\/201903\/W020200217416444788586.pdf\">Green Industry Standard 2019<\/a>, which continues to include \u201cclean coal\u201d and is thus less compatible with international standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-greening-the-belt-and-road-initiative\">Greening the Belt and Road Initiative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If China\u2019s commitment to fighting global warming, as demonstrated by its 2060 domestic carbon neutrality pledge, is to be taken seriously, it should stop financing coal plants overseas, including in the more than 130 countries of the BRI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first half of 2020 saw \u2013 for the first time \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/green-bri.org\/investment-report-belt-and-road-initiative-bri-2020-covid19\">a majority of non-fossil fuel energy investments<\/a> under the BRI. China is emphasising green overseas investments through regulatory initiatives and voluntary approaches. The regulatory ambition has taken a large step forward in the Climate Finance Guidance, which states that China aims to \u201cregulate offshore investment and financing activities\u201d in line with climate goals as compared to the current requirement for Chinese investors to apply the often weak environmental standards of BRI host countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"67487\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>One crucial supporting piece of regulatory research is the \u201cGreenlight System for the Belt and Road Initiative\u201d, which the authors have been involved in developing. In an introduction of the Climate Finance Guidance, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment showed the ambition to classify BRI investments into \u201cgreen\u201d, \u201cyellow\u201d and \u201cred\u201d depending on their environmental risk and nature-positive contribution. This could allow the Chinese government to accelerate greening of the BRI and possibly hold investors more accountable for overseas environmental impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of sector-led approaches, the Green Investment Principles (GIP) are a voluntary set of seven high-level principles signed by 37 financial institutions to accelerate green BRI investments. The annual GIP report published in September showed how some signatories have embarked on integrating climate risks and laid out ambitions to catch up to more established standards, like the Equator Principles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-questions-ahead-for-green-finance-in-china\">The questions ahead for green finance in China<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, China\u2019s green finance community has a lot of work to do. For instance, China\u2019s carbon market has been promised since 2017, and while the new Climate Finance Guidance and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mee.gov.cn\/xxgk2018\/xxgk\/xxgk06\/202011\/t20201102_805822.html\">draft rules for a national emissions trading system<\/a> published at the beginning of November promote the construction of carbon market mechanisms, a start to national trading has not yet been announced. Once the national carbon market launches, many investors will have to develop risk and investment strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another issue is how to shift the business model of some of the world\u2019s largest state-owned enterprises, such as the China National Offshore Oil Corporation, Petrochina and Sinopec, whose profits are based on the extraction of fossil fuels. At the end of August, Petrochina surprised the market by announcing its aim to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-china-petrochina-results-idUSKBN25N1CC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">become near carbon neutral by 2050<\/a>, but it isn\u2019t yet clear how it will achieve this transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International partners in particular also wonder how China will provide fair access to markets and healthy competition given its accelerated preferential treatment of state-owned enterprises. This includes preferential access to finance through China\u2019s massive policy banks, such as the China Development Bank, and state-owned (or state-linked) financial institutions, such as the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Bank of China. This will be particularly relevant in providing green finance and applying green technologies and innovation, for example to the hydrogen sector. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the next months and years, we expect many pilots, promises and re-adjustments in the context of the 2060 carbon-neutrality goal. It is the proverbial \u201ccrossing the river by touching the stones\u201d: while Xi Jinping\u2019s pledge set a clear direction for policy, law, energy, industry, innovation and finance, many details will be drawn and re-drawn step by step. The pledge is a wake-up call for government and industry to adopt concrete plans. For green finance to play its role in helping China achieve its long-term carbon neutrality target, certainty is needed about opportunities and risks. This means ambitions need to be translated into targets as part of the 14<sup>th<\/sup> Five Year Plan, and in applicable and enforceable government policies on greening overseas investments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The country needs to develop its domestic green finance industry, attract international investors and improve its overseas investments<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":68640,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[758,761],"tags":[510,544],"country":[],"class_list":["post-68608","opinion","type-opinion","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-climate","tag-china-in-the-world","tag-finance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>China must boost green finance to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The country needs to develop its domestic green finance industry, attract international investors and improve its overseas investments\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/green-finance-china-carbon-neutrality-2060\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"China must boost green finance to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The country needs to develop its domestic green finance industry, attract international investors and improve its overseas investments\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/green-finance-china-carbon-neutrality-2060\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dialogue Earth\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-11-19T08:40:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/green-finance-china-dialogue-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1439\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/green-finance-china-carbon-neutrality-2060\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/green-finance-china-carbon-neutrality-2060\/\",\"name\":\"China must boost green finance to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/green-finance-china-carbon-neutrality-2060\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/green-finance-china-carbon-neutrality-2060\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/green-finance-china-dialogue-scaled.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-11-17T18:21:21+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-11-19T08:40:43+00:00\",\"description\":\"The country needs to develop its domestic green finance industry, attract international investors and improve its overseas investments\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/green-finance-china-carbon-neutrality-2060\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/green-finance-china-carbon-neutrality-2060\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/green-finance-china-carbon-neutrality-2060\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/green-finance-china-dialogue-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/green-finance-china-dialogue-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2560,\"height\":1439,\"caption\":\"WHTT97 Anhui, Anhui, China. 3rd Sep, 2019.
