China's big role in global green transition

White paper highlights nation's tech advancements, industry and supply chains, and favorable market environment

Over the past decade, China has made remarkable contributions to global green transformation, thanks to its continuous technological advancements, complete industrial supply chains and favorable market environment, according to a recently released white paper.

China's green energy development has become a driving force for the global energy transition, significantly alleviating global inflation pressures while addressing climate change, the white paper issued by the State Council Information Office showed.

China, the world leader in renewable energy generation capacity, has been responsible for over 40 percent of the annual additions to global renewable energy capacity since 2013, with the newly installed capacity accounting for more than half of the world's total in 2023, the paper, titled "China's Energy Transition", pointed out.
