Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. Jointly sponsored by the National Energy Administration of China and the
People’s Government of Shandong Province, the Second Belt and Road Energy
Ministerial Conference, themed “Join Hands towards a Greener and More Inclusive
Energy Future”, opened at Qingdao International Convention Center, Qingdao on
October 18.
At the event, the “Qingdao Initiative for Belt and Road Green Energy
Cooperation” was launched.
The Initiative specifies the role of wind, solar, hydro, biomass, nuclear
and other forms of green energy for the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
of the United Nations, underlining that green energy is becoming an important
driver for global economic development and will bring unprecedented opportunities
for mutually beneficial cooperation among countries.
The Initiative embraces the “common but differentiated responsibilities
(CBDR)” principle, calling to respect the right of each country to choose its
own path for energy transition. It emphasizes the necessity of increased
support for developing countries in terms of funds, technology and capacity
building for more balanced and expanded development of green energy.
The Initiative calls for joint actions to support green and low-carbon energy development in developing countries. Specific tasks include setting more ambitious green energy development plans and goals, improving the reliability and resilience of green energy supply, and creating a more attractive environment for investment in green energy.
