The IFF China Report 2021
Insight and perspectives from the world’s leaders, premier policy-makers and financiers
Sustainable development and global economic growth in a post-pandemic era
China has set itself an ambitious goal of reducing carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. Attaining these goals will require substantial investment and co-operation with other global powers. The Covid-19 pandemic has presented an opportunity for governments to ensure the future of the global economy is a sustainable one. As the world begins to recover, business as usual is unlikely to return any time soon. A balance needs to be struck between political partnership and understanding that restrictions may remain in place for some time. In responding to the crisis, policy-makers should be cognizant of the opportunities posed by the pandemic and invest in emerging markets infrastructure, global trade and greater levels of co-operation worldwide
