Hold onto your reusable water bottles, global citizens! The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) just declared 2025 its Year of Sustainable Development, signaling a major push for eco-friendly collaboration across Eurasia. With China steering the SCO presidency until 2025, the stage is set for game-changing partnerships in climate action, tech innovation, and more.

China’s already rolling out joint ventures to boost digital economies and cross-border infrastructure – because who doesn’t love a high-speed rail powered by solar panels?
