China Dialogue Trust is an independent organisation dedicated to advancing climate action by promoting understanding of climate change and the environment across barriers of language and culture.
For more than 15 years, our work has illuminated both China’s environmental crises and its global environmental footprint. We cover everything from innovations in green technology to the impact of Belt-and-Road investment to share knowledge and advance solutions.
We are a UK-registered charity headquartered in London, with a network in China, a growing cohort of regional editors across India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Argentina, The Gambia, Kenya, Malawi and Sierra Leone, and a network of expert contributors and partners around the world. China Dialogue Trust researches, writes, commissions, edits and publishes news reports and analyses of environmental and climate threats, to stimulate the exchange of information and ideas between readers in diverse geographies.
