Wang Yi, senior legislator, has asked China to keep an ‘active one-step ahead position’ in relation to climate change.
A top adviser to the Chinese government has been a high-ranking member of a green energy organization that works to ban gas stoves in America. He also advised his country on how to fight climate change.
Climate Imperative, an environmentally friendly nonprofit, has a budget of nearly $1 million thanks to funding from billionaires Laurene Pooh Jobs and John Doerr.

Serves China’s legislative body is the National People’s Congress. Wang Even sits on According to a Chinese environmental group, the Congress’s Standing Committee. This committee is made up of government insiders who use state power to achieve Communist Party goals even when Congress is not in session.
Climate Imperative, with Wang as an advisor, has granted grants to the Building Decarbonization Coalition. This green non-profit is also a Green Nonprofit. Works To “transition to clean buildings that don’t run on gas.” Bruce Nilles (Climate Imperative executive director) was in December The following are some of the highlights His goal was to achieve “methane gas out of homes and buildings.” “It turns out that fossil fuels and humans don’t actually coexist very well,” Nilles said.

It says that its advisers provide. “independent, expert advice” Do not join the group. “endorse or approve specific grants.” Climate Imperative, however, isn’t the only green organization that partners with the Chinese. The Rocky Mountain Institute, a Colorado-based non-profit that published controversial December research indicating that 13 percent of U.S. children with asthma are attributable to gas stove use, has for years collaborated with China’s National Development and Reform Commission in order to implement an initiative. “economy-wide transformation” The alternative to oil and gas is the Washington Free Beacon reported In January.
