As global climate efforts intensify, SUEZ CEO Xavier Girre tells CGTN that combining China's industrial scale with France's green tech could "deliver tangible benefits for both nations" – a vision reinforced during President Macron's recent China visit.
Powering the Climate Fight
⚡ Macron's three-day diplomatic push in 2025 saw new Sino-French agreements on:
• Nuclear energy innovation
• Cross-border carbon reduction projects
• Smart water management systems
Tech Meets Scale
🌍 Girre emphasized: "China's renewable energy deployment speed paired with European R&D creates unbeatable synergy." The partnership already shows results – joint ventures cut CO2 emissions by 18% in Q3 2025 compared to last year.
Youth in the Driver's Seat
👩💻 With Gen Z professionals leading 43% of green startups in both countries, this collaboration could accelerate climate solutions while creating tech jobs – perfect timing as global carbon markets hit $1.2 trillion valuation this month.
