Industrialised countries are largely relying on imports from countries in the Global South to secure their future supply of green hydrogen. While multilateral development banks are financing green hydrogen projects, they also want to ensure that these investments contribute to sustainable development in the exporting countries. To this end, they are tying their loans to environmental and social indicators. But how effective are these policies? This is what Charlie Choy, a law scholar from Hong Kong, is investigating during a one-year fellowship at RIFS.
