SKUP 2026 has ended
Velkommen til SKUP-konferansen 17. - 19. april 2026
Saturday April 18, 2026 12:00pm - 1:00pm PDT
Since 2013, Chinese companies have poured more than $1 trillion dollars into the country's Belt and Road Initiative, a vast overseas infrastructure effort that has built and financed roads, railways, dams, power plants and more across the globe, outside China's borders. The initiative has projected Chinese influence globally and helped leaders in emerging economies deliver on their promises to build. Yet the initiative has had far-reaching and often underreported impacts on the environment and on climate change, clearing forests, dumping toxic pollution and helping to build out a global fleet of coal plants. In this session, we'll go through how we turned an idea and a question—What are the climate and environmental impacts of China's Belt and Road Initiative?—into a multipart project. We'll cover some of the ways to report on Chinese companies overseas and how we managed various risks when reporting this project, including trying to avoid government surveillance and reporting in regions where the threat of arrest was real.
