As the world races against time to tackle the climate crisis, a new episode of BizTalk dives into how emerging economies are rewriting the rules of sustainable development. 🌍 CGTN's Michael Wang sat down with Liu Zhenmin, China's special envoy for climate change, and Peter Brabeck-Letmathe of the World Economic Forum to unpack the future of green innovation and global cooperation.
Why the Global South Matters Now
With developing nations contributing over 60% of recent renewable energy investments, Liu emphasized China's role in sharing green tech and funding through South-South partnerships. 💬 'Equity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s about ensuring solar panels and wind farms reach every corner of the planet,' he noted.
Green Tech Gold Rush
Brabeck-Letmathe highlighted how AI and carbon capture could become the 'next Bitcoin' for investors, while Liu pointed to China's booming EV and battery sectors. 🔋⚡ But both agreed: "No single country can climate-proof the world alone."
Youth Power Alert! 🚨
The experts called Gen Z the 'secret weapon' in climate talks, praising youth-led movements for keeping governments and corporations accountable. 👩🎤👨💻
