China can use its global influence to extend its domestic environmentally friendly agenda to its projects abroad. Adopting green financing can have a huge impact on encouraging the construction of sustainable infrastructure.

Energy is the lifeblood of economic growth. It keeps factories and offices running, ports and airports humming and shopping malls in business.

Hopes are that the leadership will unveil structural reforms aimed at putting the economy on a sustainable trajectory.
