绿色“一带一路”建设:进展、挑战与深化路径

摘要

After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic,globalization began to derail,whereas regional integration and multilateral economic and trade cooperation driven by inter-state politics became the main trend.In the face of climate risks,the pandemic,trade frictions and other severe man-made or non-man-made“black swan”events,wide cracks have opened in the global system of labor division and cooperation,plunging globalization into further grave uncertainty.Meanwhile the United Nations has repeatedly pointed to the climate emergency,calling for international cooperation to respond to the triple planetary emergencies of climate change,biodiversity and pollution.1 The sustainable development of the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI)requires a coordinated approach to deal with different factors such as cleaner air,water,food and energy.This is not only significant for high-quality Belt and Road construction,but also for the new development paradigm of domestic and international circulations reinforcing each other.As global green governance steps up,the green BRI may correct the current global governance deficit and boost a green recovery in the post COVID-19 era,making up for the lack of sufficient green public goods2 while facilitating the establishment of a global ecological civilization.
