🌍 This week, CGTN from the Chinese mainland and Euronews teamed up in The Hub for a dynamic brainstorm on the next wave of green growth. In a world increasingly hit by record-breaking heatwaves and extreme weather, anchors Wang Guan and Jeremy Wilks asked the big question: are we doing enough—and fast enough—to power a sustainable future?
The conversation brought together a powerhouse panel: Ma Jun from the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, Climate KIC investment lead Ben Honan, Global Climate Academy president Wu Changhua, and InnoEnergy France CEO Karine Vernier. Together, they explored how China and Europe can share technologies, build trust, and accelerate breakthroughs in clean energy.
From advanced solar and wind tech to cutting-edge battery storage and smart grids, the experts highlighted exciting innovations driving the green energy race ⚡. But beyond new gadgets, much of the discussion focused on the human side of collaboration: transparent data sharing, aligned policies, and open investment channels that can bridge continents and scale solutions faster.
Ben Honan pointed out that venture capital trends are shifting toward sustainable startups, while Ma Jun stressed the importance of public environmental data in the Chinese mainland for building trust. Wu Changhua and Karine Vernier added that training programs and research networks are key to cultivating the next generation of climate leaders 🌱.
As the world watches summer heat records crumble and storms intensify, this global exchange is a timely reminder that technology alone isn’t enough. Policymakers, investors, and citizens all have a role in ensuring that new ideas move from labs to streets—and at scale. The real challenge now is turning this momentum into real-world impact, quickly.
