Summary: European policy-makers needed to rethink their engagement with China on climate. Europeans often pointed towards climate as an area where EU-China relations were positive. But the international environment in 2024 was defined by strategic competition. While the EU thought it could isolate climate relations from more contentious parts of its relationship with China, Beijing did not agree. However, co-operation in tackling global warming was urgent – so waiting for a more convenient geopolitical moment was not an option. In areas where climate co-operation was possible and could be effective, European policy-makers should engage with China. In other areas, European policy-makers should lean into the dynamic of competition to the benefit of climate action, for example when it comes to green technology. |
