China's first energy law officially took effect on January 1, 2025, marking a crucial step in securing national energy security and driving a green, low-carbon transition. This move aligns with the breakthroughs at COP29, or 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference, which included the tripling of climate finance pledges to developing nations and the advancement of critical carbon market mechanisms. 

In this episode of BizTalk, CGTN's Michael Wang speaks with Siddharth Chatterjee, UN's resident coordinator in China, and Daisy Shen, head of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) at KPMG China, to explore how China’s green transition is shaping the future of climate finance, ESG practices and international cooperation.
