Georgetown University's Joanna Lewis will discuss her new book documenting the story of China's rapid rise in the global wind power industry. China is beginning to serve as a center for global technological innovation, and green innovation from China could play a crucial role in the global transition to a low-carbon economy. China's wind industry not only provides a compelling example of technological leapfrogging, it also demonstrates the evolving nature of technology transfer and diffusion around the world, and provides valuable insight into the country's domestic energy strategies and global positioning.
Given global concern about the impact of China's rapidly increasing energy needs on global supplies and its ability almost single-handedly to change the global climate system, it is important to understand how and why Beijing has embraced green innovation.
