<p>All of the support we provide through our Prosperity Fund is already very carefully
considered, including to the energy sector in China. The overall purpose of the Fund
is to promote inclusive growth whilst contributing to the UN Sustainable Development
Goals. The Fund’s climate change and energy programmes all support the SDGs, including
SDG 7 (affordable, reliable, sustainable modern energy) and SDG 13 (climate action).
Sharing UK expertise, including on environmental regulation will help ensure that
China’s planned development of its unconventional gas resources is done to high standards,
and is managed as part of a transition to a low carbon energy system. This will reduce
emissions, as well as support economic development and poverty reduction.</p>
