Toward a New Green World | Clean technology manufacturing

November 07, 2025

This is the third paper in a series of three by CSE addressing questions of trade and development for the Global South in the new green economy, titled Towards a New Green World 

The Global South faces a dual challenge of decarbonising while industrialising to meet the demands of a growing economy. This paper explores how countries can pursue green industrialisation by building clean-tech manufacturing capacity amid China’s dominance, limited domestic capacities, and unequal participation in global trade. Using case studies from China, India, Indonesia, and Mexico, it outlines key takeaways from country experiences in the clean technology sector, calling for renewed industrial policy, South–South cooperation, and global rule reform to build resilient economies.
