At Davos 2025, the message was clear: the world's green energy revolution hinges on China. 🌱 Shukhrat Ibragimov, CEO of Eurasian Resources Group (ERG), told CGTN's Guan Xin that China's $900 billion investment in clean energy in 2023 dwarfs efforts elsewhere, making it the 'engine room' of global sustainability. 💡
🚀 'No green transition happens without China,' Ibragimov declared. As the planet’s top mineral consumer, China's demand for resources like lithium and cobalt is reshaping supply chains—and pushing companies like ERG to keep pace. 'Being major suppliers, we *must* meet China’s needs,' he added.
Why does this matter for young professionals and climate activists? 🌏👩💻
- China’s spending covers solar, wind, EVs, and battery tech—key areas for cutting carbon.
- Its market size drives down global costs, making renewables more accessible.
- Collaboration between China and international firms could fast-track climate solutions.
While critics debate geopolitical tensions, ERG’s CEO sees partnership as the only path forward. 🤝 'The data doesn’t lie—you can’t tackle climate change without Beijing at the table,' he said. For startups and investors eyeing the green economy? This is your playbook. 📈
