If the COVID-19 pandemic taught us anything, it is that the world is bound together by shared challenges—and at the center of those challenges often stands China. After decades of breakneck growth and development, Chinese officials, businesses, and institutions now play a critical role in every major global issue, from climate change to biotechnology.
We invite you to join in a virtual chat (over tea!) with Dr. Scott Moore, Director of China Programs and Strategic Initiatives at University of Pennsylvania, about his soon-to-be released book China’s Next Act that re-envisions China’s role in the world in terms of sustainability and technology. Together with CEF director Jennifer Turner, he will discuss how these issues are reshaping China’s economy and its foreign policy with major implications for the world.

The window of opportunity to prevent the most catastrophic effects of climate change is quickly closing. According to the latest science from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we must peak global emissions by 2025 and reduce them to net zero by the middle of the century.
Yet the transition to net zero is also a massive opportunity for Asia, which currently accounts for over half of global emissions. Strong climate action in line with the Paris Agreement's 1.5-degree temperature limit would add $47 trillion dollars in gains to the Asia-Pacific economy by 2070.
Asia Society Policy Institute and its President Kevin Rudd are spearheading a high-level policy commission on Getting Asia to Net Zero. The Commission’s diverse set of recognized Asian leaders will provide recommendations on how Asia and key countries can realize net zero emissions, including how climate action can boost the region’s economy, trade, interconnectedness, and livelihoods.
This event will explore Asia's net zero opportunity and also serve as the virtual launch of the Commission. It will feature keynote remarks by former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who is one of the commissioners, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Kevin Rudd and featuring a selection of other commission members.
