Overview
This grant builds on a previous grant that culminated in the Hewlett China coal strategy paper. The purpose of this follow-up grant is to help Hewlett grantees in China working on coal to refine and evaluate the strategy. It seeks to develop a strategic power map of future opportunities to work more directly on slowing the growth of coal-fired power and industrial energy resources in China. Currently, China depends on coal to provide 70 percent of its energy, and it has been the engine for the nation’s rapid economic growth over the past decade. The grant will enable Hewlett grantees to more effectively develop joint strategies in different venues.

It aims to support the finance market and policy readiness, while improving financial and corporate institutions’ ability to implement transition finance taxonomies in the petrochemical and cement sectors. (Substrategies: China National Policy and Industry)
for WRI China’s organizational planning and design
This grant aims to enhance WRI China's governance and build internal capacity to better support growth and impacts in the following 5-10 years.
for U.S.-China High-Level Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change
This grant to the World Resources Institute will fund the continuation of the Track II climate dialogue between senior nongovernmental advisors and former government officials from the U.S. and China. These talks provide the opportunity to raise and address issues in less formal forums and build trust for the time when climate policy is back on the agenda of the U.S. and China. The project will work with actors from across the political spectrum, with the aim of building ambition on both sides. This grant will support convening and analysis. (Substrategy: Multilateral)
