The first edition was published on 27 September 2017.

Publications are starting to emerge about the Belt and Road. Some focus on applicable laws; others are in country-by-country format providing statistics and other background. At the moment, there seem to be few practical guides.

Our series of publications aims to fill that gap. We will tell you about our own experience with our clients working on the Belt and Road. Within each of our booklets, we will offer practical tips regarding the Belt and Road subject in question.

In this publication, we offer ten recommendations on how best to resolve Belt and Road disputes.

While there are differences in short and medium-term targets, in the long-term, these entities generally have consistent goals of reaching net zero for scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2050 or sooner. The industrials entities also aimed to accomplish this by employing similar strategies to achieve those goals, including transitioning to renewable energy, optimising operations to reduce fuel use, and engaging stakeholders in reduction efforts. They also support policy initiatives for sectoral decarbonisation, for example, by collaborating with government, business, and industry to develop sustainable emissions reductions solutions.
