This pivot considers how China deals with the globalization of its energy companies in the face
of global efforts to combat climate change. It examines how China following its emergence as
the world's largest energy consumer and its resultant growing dependence on foreign energy
engages the world on energy and its implications for global governance of energy. It notably
focuses on the policy impact of China's global engagement for the accelerated going out
strategy and the so-called one belt one road (OBOR) initiative and profound climate
implications for the rest of the world contending that the type of energy services
technologies and infrastructure China finances around the globe today will determine the
global community's carbon footprint in the foreseeable future.
