Belinda Schäpe

Working at the nexus of climate change and geopolitics, I am a China Policy Analyst with the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) where I analyse China’s decarbonisation journey and advise policymakers on their diplomatic engagement with China. I have published a range of articles and op-eds on Chinese climate, energy, and foreign policy and regularly speak at public events and comment in international media outlets.
