Climate change is a global challenge and China’s energy transition towards 2050 will be a major, influential factor dealing with this challenge. It is predicted that China will further strengthen its position as the world’s largest player in renewable technologies and that it will undergo a massive transformation of its energy system. Ocean energy is a major player in this transition, and it is important to enable the usage of this resources in a sustainable manner. The CCICED Special Policy Study on Ocean Governance will bring together Chinese and international experts to advise on sustainable measures, and I am honoured to be chosen to co-lead on the Task Team II – Ocean Energy.
