EU Energy Transition and China-EU Energy Cooperation
To cope with the energy crisis and environmental degradation,the European Union has put energy transition at the top of its policy agenda.Thanks to the progress of the energy transition,the EU has strengthened its collective energy security,enhanced its international competitiveness,and improved its environmental quality.The EU's energy transition prospects depend on how the EU and member states balance collective security with national interests,short-term needs with long-term ambitions,and strategic autonomy with external dependence.China and the EU share common security concerns and interests in promoting energy transition.Both sides can actively engage in energy dialogue and encourage cooperation at various levels,including global governance,bilateral relations,and specific industries,to jointly accelerate the global energy transition.The energy cooperation between China and the EU will not only improve their respective energy security,but also contribute to global sustainable development.
