Hey there! 🌟 Did you know that when countries raise tariffs (which are like taxes on goods from other countries), it can slow down how fast the economy grows? 📉 But here’s some good news! Francesco La Camera, the director-general of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), says that while tariffs can make the economy slow down, they don’t hurt renewable energy as much! 🌿⚡️
He mentioned this in an interview with CGTN. Even though things might slow down a bit, the move towards using clean energy like solar and wind power is still happening! 🌞💨 It’s a bit like when you’re riding a bike uphill—it might be harder, but you keep moving forward! 🚴♀️
So, even if there are some bumps in the road, the world is still working towards a greener future! 🌍💚
