Pakistan and China are transitioning the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) into a second phase focused on industrialization and technology transfer. This shift follows the initial infrastructure push that added 8,000MW of power capacity and expanded regional transmission networks. Key climate goals include the Suki Kinari Hydropower Project, which generates 884MW of clean energy to reduce reliance on coal. The new phase aims to integrate digital economy tools and sustainable industrial zones to drive economic growth while lowering the carbon footprint of the region's energy sector.
