<p>In this video, I speak through how China moved from a country struggling with smog to become the “OPEC of renewable energy.” </p><br><p>It is a presentation that I believe highlights that progress was not the result of one subsidy, one policy, or one technology breakthrough, but the outcome of a long-term national strategy shaped by urgent, tangible problems: severe air pollution, energy security risks, industrial upgrading, and the need to build future-facing jobs and intellectual property.</p><br><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>1) China’s renewable energy dominance came from solving real problems, not just chasing carbon goals.</p><p>2) Smog created the urgency for policy alignment, industrial reform, and clean energy investment.</p><p>3) Solar success was built through integrated supply chains, rapid innovation, and massive domestic demand.</p><p>4) China’s renewable energy strategy also strengthened energy security, jobs, IP, and export potential.</p><p>5) Other countries can learn from China’s roadmap, but must adapt it to their own governance, resources, and local challenges.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
