ABSTRACT

With the steady progress of the "Belt and Road" initiative, the overall level of green development in the countries along the Belt and Road has been improved, but the level remains low compared to that of developed countries, and the ecological environment is fragile due to frequent human activities. With the outbreak of the new pneumonia epidemic spreading around the world, green cooperation has become an important development direction for international governance in the post-epidemic era in the face of the epidemic and global climate change and other challenges common to the human community, and new opportunities for green development in countries along the Belt and Road. However, the spreading and mutation of the epidemic has brought more uncertainty to the cause of global sustainable development, the contradiction between the development model and green development of the countries along the Belt and Road, and the weak international influence of the green development system of the countries along the Belt and Road, making the green development of the countries along the Belt and Road facing many new challenges in the post-epidemic era. Countries along the "Belt and Road" should cooperate to build a green economic community and environmental governance community in the post-epidemic era, promote the construction of a digital Silk Road, deepen the partnership for green development, and jointly promote the construction of a green " the Belt and Road".
