The View
As the biggest lender to poor nations, wealthy China can do more for climate finance
- As the largest bilateral creditor to the world’s poorest states, China can prioritise climate concerns in debt relief
- It can also support reforms and expansion at multilateral development banks so they can lend more to low-carbon projects and phase out fossil fuel financing
