Infographic: China’s low-carbon development serves as driving force for global sustainable development

China’s commitment to green and low-carbon development is an inherent requirement of its pursuit of high-quality economic growth, which also serves as a driving force for global climate response and sustainable development.

In 2024, four out of every 10 kilowatt-hour of electricity in China was generated by clean energy. As the largest exporter of clean technologies, China creates 46 percent of the job opportunities in the global renewable energy industry. According to another report from IRENA, over the past decade the average cost per kilowatt-hour of global wind power projects has decreased by more than 60 percent, and that of PV power projects by more than 80 percent. The reductions are largely attributable to China’s efforts.
