China’s clean energy revolution is rewriting the climate playbook! 🌍 A 2023 analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) reveals the country’s wind and solar capacity added that year could power all of Germany—a milestone that’s slashed power sector emissions for the first time in 10 years. 🚀
This green leap, a cornerstone of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), also reduced transport-related emissions, signaling progress toward its 2030 climate goals. But CREA experts warn the road ahead isn’t all sunshine: "Whether emissions peak by 2030 hinges on policy choices in the next five years," one analyst told CGTN.
With global eyes on Asia’s renewable energy race, China’s tech-driven push—think mega solar farms and offshore wind parks—is setting a high bar. 🌞💨 Will this momentum hold? Stay tuned as the world’s largest carbon polluter navigates its green transformation.
