Here’s the gist: SUEZ CEO Xavier Girre says that to tackle the climate emergency, we need a power duo—combining the Chinese mainland’s massive renewable push with France’s top-tier tech and water know-how.
In a chat with CGTN, Girre noted that tackling climate change requires a blend of strengths: the Chinese mainland’s scale and France’s top-notch water treatment and clean energy expertise. Together, they can fast-track green projects and deliver real-world impact. 🚀💧
This insight came during President Emmanuel Macron’s three-day state visit to the Chinese mainland, where both sides rolled out joint statements on:
- Strengthening global governance—so big players shape fair, inclusive policies
- Stepping up climate and environmental action—because urgent solutions are needed
- Boosting peaceful use of nuclear power—leveraging nuclear for safe, clean energy
Why it matters for South and Southeast Asia: from more solar farms in India to better water systems in Indonesia, these collaborations can spark innovation across our region. It’s a win-win for cleaner cities, new green jobs, and a healthier planet. 🌱
Bottom line: China–France green cooperation is moving beyond talk. With real benefits on the horizon, we're looking at a brighter, cleaner future—and that’s something to get excited about! ✨
