Energy security in Germany and China

This paper, created by a joint German and Chinese expert team as part of the Sino-German Track II Dialogue on Climate Change and Sustainable Development, analyses the measures taken both on the supply-side and on the demand-side, and reflect on the strategic elements of China’s and Germany’s reactions as well as medium and long-term climate strategies. By comparing their crisis response, the authors derive common lessons learnt that consider the specific circumstances in each country.
