What are the long-term implications of China's current energy strategy for its climate commitments and the global energy transition?

China's reliance on coal, despite its significant investments in renewable energy, reveals a complex energy paradox. While China leads in renewable energy deployment, surpassing the rest of the world's combined installations, the country's commitment to energy security necessitates continued coal use, at least until 2027. This presents a challenge to China's ambitious green agenda, showcasing the difficulty of rapid decarbonization in the face of extreme weather events and existing energy infrastructure.
