As trade tensions simmer, the world’s shift to renewable energy isn’t slowing down—and China is leading the charge. 🌍⚡ According to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), China contributed over 50% of the global increase in renewable energy capacity in 2024, turbocharging efforts to meet its ambitious 'dual carbon' goals.
IRENA Director-General Francesco La Camera told CGTN that China’s affordable low-carbon tech exports, from solar panels to wind turbines, are 'indispensable' for accelerating the global energy transition. 🚀 'China’s scale and innovation are driving down costs worldwide,' he said, comparing the country’s impact to 'a green battery powering the planet.' 🔋
Despite geopolitical headwinds, La Camera emphasized that collaboration—not competition—will define the next phase of climate action. 🌏✨ 'Trade barriers could delay progress, but the momentum toward renewables is unstoppable,' he added, highlighting partnerships in Southeast Asia and Africa as key success stories.
For young professionals and eco-conscious travelers, this news signals a brighter future: cheaper clean energy, tech-driven solutions, and a roadmap for global sustainability. 📈🌱
