@jeff_ball: "The relationship between the U.S. and China, probably more than any other relationship on the globe shapes the costs of these [green] technologies, which shapes everything about their use."

@jeff_ball: "It's clear that strategically, [private sector multinational companies] have made a long-term calculation that they need to decarbonize."

I was struck in this discussion how much clean energy tech competition will intersect directly with President-elect Trump's goals on jobs, economic growth, and global leadership.
Check out this conversation feat. @samanthaenergy, @R_D, and @Jeff_Ball

How #Trump could shift a U.S.-China cold war over the #climate through dealmaking in the Global South. My new @BrookingsInst piece for @BrookingsFP @BrookingsChina: brookings.edu/articles/trump…

How do you think the US and others should respond to this wave of Chinese green tech? To hear a group of experts tackle this and related questions, tune in this morning to the following Brookings event, featuring @samanthaenergy, @R_D, and @Jeff_Ball - brookings.edu/events/us-chin…
This @ft op-ed argues the West should strengthen tech inspections of Chinese green tech, pursue forced tech transfer and robust local control to mitigate national security vulnerabilities while avoiding wholesale blocking of imports of PRC green tech.

We at the @stanforddoerr School of Sustainability are hiring for what we think is one of the more interesting jobs in writing today: managing editor for a new global magazine of ideas about approaches to achieve a meaningfully more-sustainable world.
The managing editor job comes with a competitive salary, @Stanford's excellent benefits, & the mandate to help create & help run a publication intended to broaden and deepen the global sustainability conversation in clarifying ways.
If you’re interested or you know a stellar candidate you think might be, please apply through (or refer them to) the listing, and feel free to email me at [email protected]. This’ll be challenging, fascinating, and a lot of fun. careersearch.stanford.edu/jo…
Happy to announce imminent publication of "How #China 's #Green Strategy is Changing the World," a chapter in @OxUniPress's forthcoming Oxford Handbook on the Greening of Economic Development. global.oup.com/academic/prod…
This morning I wished an acquaintance a happy new year. His reply: "'Happy new year' seems like a bad bet."

The smart strategy for America is to encourage maximal greening of China’s massive infrastructure investment abroad—and to leverage that Chinese spending to create new opportunities for export-focused U.S. firms in a decarbonizing world, argues @jeff_ball. brookings.edu/research/power…

China’s decarbonization of its foreign infrastructure finance is existentially important - for the planet, the Chinese economy, and people everywhere: brookings.edu/research/power… @Jeff_Ball #BRI #IndoPacific #infrastructure #ClimateAction #emissions #GreenEconomy #development

The U.S. and China are bankrolling infrastructure in developing economies, which will lock in these countries' emissions for years. @Jeff_Ball explains how they can ensure such new infrastructure is green, despite their rivalry bit.ly/3EdznRY @BrookingsFP

“Never has it been more crucial that the two countries, even as they vie for supremacy in low-carbon innovation, support each other’s efforts to decarbonize their respective infrastructure finance flows,” argues @jeff_ball. brookings.edu/research/power…
