Join Professor Alex Wang of the UCLA School of Law as he presents his new book on China’s global environmentalism. In the book, he chronicles how, as the United States steps back from the Paris Agreements, China is advancing a distinct model of “developmental environmentalism” that departs from Western approaches.

Drawing on case studies — from clean-tech expansion and green investment in Chile, to hydropower development across Southeast Asia — Wang examines how China is reshaping global environmental governance and the geopolitical tensions that come with it.

Speaker:

• Alex Wang, Professor of Law, UCLA School of Law; Walter and Shirley Wang Endowed Chair in U.S.-China Relations and Communications, UCLA

 
Moderator:

• Victor Shih, Director, 21st Century China Center; Professor and Ho Miu Lam Chair in China and Pacific Relations, UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy
