C

an China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) fix climate change?

Yes. If it funds infrastructure encouraging common standards, integrated markets and deeper energy network interconnection.

China’s partners in the bank need to push this, hard. If they do, the benefits to both Asia and the world will be enormous.

The EurasiaReview story - “Can China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) fix climatechange?” – says, “To date, AIIB analysis has focused upon short-sighted, geopolitical handicapping of the power balance between China and the United States. This misses the far larger story: the AIIB’s ability to alter 21st Century history through constructive, badly-needed energy market reform.”
