Tuesday, December 19, 2023, the Sth edition of the France-China Track 2 was held in Paris, bringing together French and Chinese experts, officials and
\njournalists. After three years of the COVID crisis, in a tense geopolitical context, the exchanges took stock of the France\/Europe-China relationship,
\nacknowledging its complexity. Discussions also focused on trade and investment relations and cooperation in facing the climate challenge (industrial
\ndecarbonization, tripartite Africa-China-France cooperation).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Created in 2018, the France-China Track 2 is an initiative of the France China Foundation (FCF), the China chapter of the France-Asia Foundation
\n(FFA), and the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nCROSSED PERCEPTIONS: CLIMATE ACTION IN FRANCE\/EUROPE AND CHINA<\/h3>\n
\nin France\/Europe and China. Based on a selection of recent French and Chinese publications over more than a year, we analyse the perception in
\nFrance of China’s climate mitigation actions and the perception in China of France\/Europe’s, as reflected in each nation\u2019s media coverage.<\/p>\n
\na political and economic cost, so what other countries do, in particular the US, Europe and China, and the perception of the progress these make are
\nlikely to impact how governments and populations dose their efforts. And this perception is highly influenced by the media.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nBUILDING DECARBONATION<\/h3>\n
\nChina.<\/p>\n
\nof materials consumption. France and China have an important role to play: France spearheads the Buildings Breakthrough Initiative and the building
\nsector in China accounts for a large part of its GHG emissions: in 2019, prior to the COVID crisis, the construction of civil buildings represented 16% of
\nthe total emissions and building operations, 22%.<\/p>\n
\ncountries are expected to issue updated NDCs in 2025, providing an opportunity to reinforce commitments related to building decarbonation.<\/p>\n
