Renewable energy buildout in China has made exceptional contributions to worldwide climate action, United Nations Environment Program leadership says. Massively expanded manufacturing scale in the Asian economic powerhouse has slashed clean technology prices and broadened access globally, particularly across developing regions.
Inger Andersen, serving as both UNEP’s executive director and a UN Under-Secretary-General, discussed these developments with China Daily ahead of the seventh Environment Assembly gathering that opened Monday in Nairobi. She described installation growth rates as moving at an extraordinary clip.
Plans call for reaching 3,600 gigawatts of wind and solar generation by 2035, representing a sixfold increase from 2020 figures. Andersen said this massive expansion demonstrates what extended planning, manufacturing strength and aligned policy can accomplish.
National commitments to bold capacity goals reshape trajectories worldwide, she observed. Renewable installations in China significantly dwarf those of other nations, Andersen noted, and accelerated construction driven largely by solar and wind additions will trigger major emissions reductions by 2035. The country currently stands as the global renewable energy leader.
Benefits from this extensive clean-technology production network extend far beyond national borders, especially through lower equipment costs, Andersen emphasized. Enormous manufacturing output has boosted renewable availability while driving down expenses dramatically. Solar energy now costs just 3.3 cents per kilowatt-hour on average globally, marking remarkable advancement.
Electric vehicle sectors spanning everything from e-bikes to buses and automobiles continue spreading throughout Asian, African and Latin American markets. Some developing nations already assemble certain models domestically, generating jobs while improving urban air and advancing cleaner mobility options, Andersen pointed out.
Her remarks followed a recent UNEP analysis identifying this renewable expansion among the strongest influences on global climate efforts. That assessment highlighted the country’s 3,600-gigawatt renewable target for 2035 as unmatched in scope. Such capacity could help close worldwide emissions shortfalls by speeding clean energy adoption, lowering technology expenses and improving developing-nation access.
Prices for solar and wind generation keep declining, with capacity growth propelling international movement toward cleaner power grids, UNEP reported. Many emerging economies can learn from methods for expanding production, controlling expenses and facilitating knowledge sharing. Cooperative financing arrangements plus reasonably priced equipment enable countries to construct durable, emissions-light electrical systems faster and more economically, the agency noted.
Andersen characterized the energy transformation as a demonstration of what coordinated government strategies can deliver. Rapid systemic change at massive scale remains achievable, offering guidance for nations pursuing Paris Agreement objectives, she suggested.
Renewable power will exceed coal-based generation worldwide for the first time in 2025, yet existing national commitments to reduce emissions fall short of containing temperature rise. As such, intensified international action to lower emissions even further will be essential. With companies like EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF) expanding their footprint, it is just a matter of time before the clock is dialed back on the pace at which global warming is happening.
