Pathways and Prospects for Smart Energy Cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative

<正>The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a path of wisdom, interconnection,and green and sustainable development. Energy cooperation is a key focus area under the BRI and is also the main thrust for achieving the dual carbon goals. Today, new productive forces such as the Internet, the Internet of Things, cloud platforms, big data, and artificial intelligence are developing vigorously, and smart energy cooperation under the BRI is imperative.Based on the background of high-quality BRI cooperation and the dual carbon goals, this article analyzes the current status and challenges of smart energy cooperation under the BRI, discusses ways to enhance the energy science and technology level under the BRI, build consensus across multiple parties, reduce the digital divide in smart energy cooperation, strengthen risk management and control, and comprehensively realize high-quality smart energy cooperation under the BRI, forming a new productive force in the joint construction of BRI energy projects.
