Remember when Beijing’s smog was so thick you’d skip your morning jog? 🌫️ Erik Solheim, former UN Environment Programme chief, sure does. But on his latest visit, he laced up his sneakers for pollution-free runs—thanks to China’s green glow-up. 🏃♂️✨
Solheim spotted something new this year: most cars on Beijing’s streets are now electric. 🚗⚡ ‘They’re quiet, clean, and creating millions of green jobs,’ he said. From solar farms to EV factories, China’s eco-makeover is rewriting the rules of sustainable growth.
At the heart of this shift? President Xi Jinping’s ‘two mountains’ concept: ‘Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.’ 🏞️💡 This mantra has turned China into a green tech powerhouse, slashing emissions while boosting renewables.
‘China’s modernization isn’t just about skyscrapers—it’s about harmony with nature,’ Xi recently stated. With 50% of the world’s EVs now made in China, the country’s eco-pivot is inspiring global climate action. 🌍🔋
From smoggy days to green highways, China’s story shows sustainability isn’t a trade-off—it’s the ultimate win-win. 🌱🚀
