WHO ARE WE?

Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) and Pakistan-China Institute (PCI) jointly established the Green China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Alliance in June, 2022. The goal of establishing Green CPEC Alliance with members from both countries’ governments, investors, and developers, as well as civil society, is to support, accelerate and promote this transition within Pakistan and the BRI. The Alliance aims to green and decarbonize CPEC by supporting a re-direction of Chinese infrastructure investments away from emission intense investments and towards green infrastructure projects, e.g. from coal to renewable energy, and ideally an early retirement of existing coal-fired power plants. Over the next 1-5 years, the Green CPEC Alliance will be working with partners in both countries to accelerate both supply and demand for green infrastructure investments.
