About the author

In May 2017, Chinese President Xi Jinping first proposed to establish a BRI International Green Development Coalition (BRIGC) at the Opening Ceremony of the First Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation (BRF). The BRIGC was officially launched by Chinese and international partners in April 2019 at the Second BRF.
BRIGC is an open, inclusive and voluntary international network which will bring together partners’ environmental expertise to ensure that the Belt and Road brings long-term, planet-friendly growth in support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 
BRIGC’s mission is to integrate sustainable development, in particular environmental sustainability, across the five priorities of the Belt and Road Initiative: policy coordination, facilities connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and people-to-people bonds.
It aims to promote global consensus, understanding, cooperation, and concerted actions to achieve green development of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Sustainable Development Goals. BRIGC partners include representatives from government, the private sector, academia, civil society, and other stakeholder groups. 
The BRIGC Secretariat is hosted by the Foreign Environmental Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment
