Gallagher Contributes to CCICED Research on BRI and SDGs
Kevin Gallagher, Professor of Global Development Policy at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University and Director of BU’s Global Development Policy Center (GDP Center), contributed to a major study from the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) on greening the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and aligning it with the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The CCICED report is the result of international collaboration, featuring dozens of experts from institutions around the world and the Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment. This is Gallagher’s second year participating in the “Green BRI and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” CCICED task force.
While previous years’ Green BRI reports developed frameworks and policies, this year’s special policy report focused on incorporating those policies and practices, so intentions are reflected in project outcomes. The report explores how environmental governance of China’s overseas activities is implemented, international lessons for greening the BRI, and policy recommendations for China.
Details on the CCICED report can be found on the GDP Center’s website.
