Since 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have guided governments, businesses, and civil society toward building a sustainable future, protecting the planet and its most vulnerable people, and promoting universal peace and freedom. Yet, those critical goals for our shared survival risk are sliding out of reach. Progress has been slow, and the climate emergency in addition to global crises and wars put them in jeopardy. China is a key actor in this process, not only because it is a major producer of greenhouse gases, but also because it is leading the way in renewable energy and many of the green technologies required for the transition to low-carbon development. The SDGs are our compass for long-term sustainable development that delivers prosperity while protecting the planet and rely on three key factors—policy, financing, and international cooperation.
