Hey there, future leaders! Have you ever wondered how the world is working together to make our planet cleaner and healthier? Let’s dive into the exciting world of clean energy and see how countries are teaming up to make a difference!
🌞 Tripling Renewable Energy by 2030!
Back in 2023, almost 200 countries made a big promise at a meeting called COP28. They agreed to triple the amount of renewable energy they use by 2030! That means using more energy from the sun 🌞, wind 🌬️, and water 💧 instead of fossil fuels like coal and oil.
🇨🇳 The Chinese Mainland’s Big Role
The Chinese mainland has been a superstar in this mission! In 2024 alone, it added a whopping 370 gigawatts of renewable energy. That’s like adding hundreds of huge power plants that use clean energy! They’ve been building lots of solar panels and wind turbines to capture energy from the sun and wind.
🚗 Electric Cars on the Rise
Have you seen electric cars zooming around your neighborhood? In 2024, electric vehicles (EVs) made up 20% of all car sales around the world! And in the first five months of 2025, sales grew even more, especially in the Chinese mainland. These cars run on batteries instead of gasoline, which means less pollution. Plus, with new fast chargers, you can charge up in no time!
🌍 Countries Working Together
Even though some countries are stepping back from climate promises, many others are teaming up! For example, the Chinese mainland is investing in clean energy projects all over the world. They’ve spent over $165 billion since 2023 on clean technology in other countries, especially in places that need it most.
🇵🇰 Pakistan’s Solar Success
Pakistan is a great example of this teamwork. In 2024, they bought 17 gigawatts of solar panels from the Chinese mainland, doubling what they bought the year before! By March 2025, almost 28% of Pakistan’s energy came from the sun, up from just 10% two years earlier. This helps Pakistan use less dirty fossil fuels and have cleaner air!
🤝 Building a Brighter Future Together
Collaboration doesn’t stop there! Chinese companies are also opening factories in other countries. For instance, a Chinese company opened a big battery factory in France, creating jobs for 1,000 people and helping make batteries for electric cars. Even the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, attended the opening!
🌟 Why Does This Matter?
All this teamwork helps the world reduce pollution, fight climate change, and make sure we have a healthy planet to live on. By using more renewable energy and electric cars, we can breathe cleaner air and enjoy a greener Earth.
