Based on a member survey and extensive interviews, the report identifies areas where EU-China cooperation can be deepened so that China can front load the technologies it needs to accelerate its carbon neutrality drive.

However, three sets of barriers currently prevent European firms from fully contributing to China’s carbon neutrality drive.
