The C.S. Mott Foundation supported a threeday convening in October 2024, titled, China’s Role in a Just and Sustainable Energy Transition. The event took stock of almost 10 years of support provided to academic institutions and civil society to address the growing global influence of Chinese development finance, specifically in the area of energy and infrastructure.
The convening was organized in partnership with the BRICS Policy Center at the Pontifical Catholic University in Rio de Janeiro. This report provides an overview of the key outcomes of a public event, and a two-day closed convening. Summary information of presentations shared in the public event is included, as well as meeting discussions, lessons learned, gaps and challenges, and an annex of database, policy, and educational tools prepared and disseminated by Mott partners.
A total of 27 Mott representatives, grantees, and consultants from around the world brought a diverse set of experiences and disciplines to the convenings and contributed their respective expertise.
