Energy is Going to be the Hot Topic at Upcoming China-Africa Summit
The China in Africa PodcastPlay episode
Show notes
African leaders will soon travel to Beijing to participate in the upcoming Forum on China-Africa Cooperation summit, which will begin on September 4th. Many of those heads of state will arrive in the Chinese capital with a rather long wish list of infrastructure development projects they're hoping to pitch to Chinese financiers.
Many of those initiatives will be focused on energy generation and distribution, particularly renewable solutions that are more affordable and easier to deploy.
Shuang Liu, China finance director at the World Resource Institute's Climate Economics and Finance Program, and Li Shuo, director of China Climate Hub at the Asia Society Policy Institute, are among the world's foremost experts on Chinese energy finance. They join Eric & Cobus to discuss what African leaders must do to align with China's new overseas development finance priorities.
