Resilient growth for China in a turbulent world: how a triple logic of clean, secure and cheap can drive the country’s economy

Globally, the prevailing model of economic growth is reaching its limits. Countries’ heavy reliance on fossil fuels increasingly leads to pollution, ill health and climate risk, while rising geopolitical uncertainty exacerbates the economic challenges they face. In this environment, China provides a leading example of how the green transition can maintain growth even during periods of global instability. This policy insight shows why such turbulence strengthens the case for green growth, creating a strategic imperative grounded in energy security, industrial competitiveness and supply-chain resilience. The authors set out the foundations of resilient growth in China, drawing on examples from countries across the world.
