    As far as I know China is not only the largest economy or about on par with the US, but has also made huge strides in renewables, so this makes sense actually, much as we are not used to hearing international bodies inviting China to lead. I would go as far as saying this is a case of China already leading the world - at least at home, not sure how clean or energy-efficient their offshore projects are.

      There is much you don’t hear about China because it doesn’t fit the official narrative, and much you do hear which is distorted and/or unsubstantiated and/or simply untrue from western corporate media.

    Haven’t they already been? The US talks good but then doesn’t follow through. Didn’t China actually put up record numbers of wind and solar fields?

    I’m sure there won’t be any financial impact from the largest global manufacturer converting their means of production to renewable energy sources.
