review of chinese enterprises' green investment on belt and road
title: wang yongzhong, chen zhen
at present，over 130 belt and road countries，including singapore，hungary，ukraine，chile，costa rica and south africa，have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by the mid-21st century. in the future，with the acceleration of global energy transition and the interiorization of the low-carbon development concept，more countries will make such commitments and implement corresponding green and low-carbon policies.
it is of great significance for the countries and regions along the belt and road to promote green investment. on one hand，the overall economic development in these countries and regions remains at a low level，which means their energy intensity，carbon intensity and greenhouse gas emissions per unit of gdp are all relatively high，and their ecological environment is relatively fragile and sensitive to climate changes，thus，green investment will be necessary for their sustainable development; on the other hand，for chinese enterprises that participate in the belt and road co-constructions，promoting green investment can not only lower the climate risks，financial risks and legal risks in their overseas investments，but also build a good image of green investors，which facilitates the sustainable development of the belt and road investment projects.
