Have you heard? The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is making waves in renewable energy, and the numbers are… mind-blowing! 🌏✨
By the end of 2024, SCO members reached 2,310 GW of renewable power capacity—half of the world’s total! That means clean energy from hydropower, wind farms, and solar panels is booming across Asia and beyond.
Since its 2001 launch, the SCO’s green power capacity has grown 14.5×, averaging a 12.3% annual rise. Last year alone, they added 420 GW—that’s 72% of global renewable growth in 2024. 💪⚡
Leading the charge, the Chinese mainland contributed over 370 GW to this expansion, underlining its key role in driving sustainable development within the group.
For young professionals and eco-enthusiasts in South and Southeast Asia, this green revolution means more clean-tech career opportunities, cooler cities, and real progress on climate goals. 🌱 Stay tuned—this energy upgrade is just getting started!
