China is turbocharging the world's shift to renewable energy, with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) highlighting its pivotal role at the World Governments Summit in Dubai. \"China has always played a very important role in renewable energy,\" said IRENA Deputy Director-General Gauri Singh, who also sent Lunar New Year greetings to Chinese communities ahead of the Year of the Dragon.
\"The Dragon embodies courage and ambition—qualities we need to secure our planet's future.\"
IRENA, a global body with 169 member states, praised China\u2019s manufacturing dominance for slashing green-tech costs worldwide. Thanks to affordable solar panels, wind turbines, and other innovations, nations are accelerating climate goals faster than ever.
Stats back the hype: China contributed 48% of 2022\u2019s global renewable capacity growth, per IRENA\u2019s 2023 report. From wind farms to grid upgrades, its investments are rewiring the energy map—one sustainable watt at a time.
