The big question: Will geoeconomic competition accelerate decarbonization—or fracture it?
That depends on:
- Keeping GIP green
- Avoiding public backlash
- Embedding competition in cooperation

Global spillovers:
✅ Positive: race to the top → faster innovation, cheaper tech, deeper climate cooperation.
❌ Negative: trade barriers, higher costs, geopolitical conflict, growing divides.
👉 Fig. 3 shows the growing use of trade-related instruments.

But design matters:
Open-economy vs. closed-economy GIP
Institutions & fiscal capacity determine success.

Green industrial policy (GIP) has exploded worldwide.
By 2023:
China, EU & US = 60% of all GIP measures

Why the shift?
1️⃣ Plunging costs of clean tech
2️⃣ China’s dominance in supply chains
3️⃣ New political coalitions linking climate, business & security
Together, these drivers created a geoeconomic turn.
