China Programme

China in the World

Since November 2023, RWI has been collaborating with Dialogue Earth and Global China Lab to build knowledge and bridge capacities in relation to China among different networks and communities of practice. The aim is to support better informed decision-making regarding Chinese trade and investment, from the perspective of human rights and just transitions.

The programme entails four multi-stakeholder workshops taking place in Latin America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Europe, convening civil society organisations, experts, media, policymakers, and researchers. This multi-disciplinary platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange features experts on China, human rights, and the environment and results in the development of open-access learning materials. The discussions so far have identified the need to develop tools, analytical frameworks, and methodologies toward understanding and “unpacking” Global China and its multiple actors and stakeholders, as well as the need for greater knowledge sharing among different regions on just transition and how to engage with China.
