Green BRI and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

This Special Policy Study (SPS) is the second phase of the SPS on the theme of “Green Belt and Road and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” under the auspices of the China Council on Environmental Cooperation and Development (CCICED). The first phase was implemented from 2018 to 2019 and provided broad principles, objectives and approaches towards the green development of Belt and Road. In 2021 (rescheduled from 2020 because of the pandemic) China will host the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) for the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). For this reason, this second phase examines the extent to which the BRI can also promote biodiversity conservation across the globe.
