“…The Chinese positioning in the global system as a driving force for dealing with the challenges to the environment gained traction when President Xi Jinping assumed as head of the state in 2013, presenting a more robust green vision for the development process to meet the needs of the people (Wei et al, 2021;Hansen, Li, & Svarverud, 2018). As posed by Maizland (2021) It is possible to observe an interconnection between the national and international dimensions in how China addresses environmental degradation threats and diffuses greener policies thru the Belt Road Initiative (BRI), the Chinese flagship development, and foreign policy approach (Schwerhoff et al, 2022). 2 As such, it raises the question of how the greener vision of the development process adopted by China resonates within the BRI and the implications of this vision in the relationship with the partners.…”

Since its inception in 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been surrounded by doubts and fears. Some were confirmed, and some were dismissed, because they were groundless or due to adjustments. One of the most critical adjustments was the environmental dimension in the BRI projects, reflecting China's internal environmental concerns. The enactment of the constitutional rule pursuing ecological civilization can translate to increasing environmental security within the investments in the recipient countries. The hypothesis in the study is that adopting the green BRI incorporates the ecological civilization concept, which refers to a myriad of transnational efforts by China to increase environmental security within its partners. In addition, it includes a constructivist perspective that considers ideational factors that do not happen at the level of the current neoliberal international institutions. Finally, this paper deploys the content analysis technique to seek sufficient empirical evidence to confirm the hypothesis and point out new research directions and limitations.
