World Leaders Rally for Sustainable Future at SCO Summit
The 24th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Astana became a launchpad for green ambitions this week, with 16 heads of state – including General Secretary Xi Jinping – agreeing to turbocharge eco-friendly development across Eurasia. 🌏
China's proposal to declare 2025 as the SCO Year of Sustainable Development stole the spotlight, with Xi calling it “a relay race for our generation to pass the green baton.” The plan focuses on three key tracks:
- 🌾 Agricultural tech hubs for smarter farming
- 💼 Cross-border economic zones boosting green business
- 🔬 Eco-innovation labs tackling climate challenges
Think Avengers-style team-ups, but for sustainability! The summit also greenlit new partnerships in renewable energy and smart city development – key areas where young entrepreneurs and researchers can drive change. 💡
