This new report from the BFPG sets out the geopolitical implications of the climate action transition, and how the winners and losers of climate change and the race to net-zero will shape international power and global governance over the coming decade. It finds:<\/p>\n
\u2022 While the climate transition is essential to protecting our long-term resilience to the impacts of climate change, China\u2019s dominance of both the resources and infrastructure for producing renewable energy poses significant challenges to the UK\u2019s national security and the West\u2019s broader resilience.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The global energy crisis highlights the need to diversify our energy supply chains and to invest in the climate transition. However, the immediate challenges posed by the crisis threaten to temporarily set back current progress on climate action.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Despite rhetorical commitments by both the United States and China to cooperate on climate change, President Xi\u2019s absence at COP26 suggests significant limitations to the opportunities for Western cooperation with China on climate change, even as China increasingly looks to assume a climate leadership role.<\/p>\n
\u2022 It is unlikely that developed nations will meet the US$100 billion climate finance target ahead of COP26, and securing bold commitments for climate financing in the developing world must be seen as a strategic necessity to the West.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Despite the UK\u2019s best efforts, the prospects of securing seismic commitments to climate action at COP26 are looking increasingly marginal, however, there is still ample scope for the conference to smooth the path for future cooperation.<\/p>\n
