The report Investing in a Green Belt and Road? Assessing the Implementation of China’s Green Credit Guidelines Abroad examines seven case studies to assess Chinese's banks' compliance with the China's Green Credit Guidelines (GCG) in their overseas lending practices. In light of China's wide-reaching Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), case studies were selected from BRI related countries, including Afghanistan, Indonesia, Kenya, Russia, India, and Sri Lanka. These examples span across the pulp and paper, mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors. This report evaluates Chinese banks' implementation of the GCG based on the ChinaBanking RegulatoryCommission' s official Key Performance Indicators for green credit, which were published in 2014.
The report Transport in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) summarises case study findings from rapidly-motorising countries, including Bangladesh, Colombia, Georgia, Kenya, Nigeria, Peru and Viet Nam. It highlights the shared challenges they face in developing and delivering greenhouse gas mitigation actions within expanding transport sectors. These include the impact that a lack of transport data is having on sectoral climate action and the need for increased buy-in from key transport stakeholders to achieve countries’ climate change commitments. The report also highlights the need to build climate change expertise within transport authorities, and for greater alignment between NDCs and national transport sector strategies.
