China’s long-term perspective and strategic planning are not only propelling the nation toward a sustainable future but are also inspiring global efforts to transition to a green economy. According to Hazem Ben-Gacem, CEO of Abu Dhabi-based asset management company BlueFive Capital, China’s commitment to environmental sustainability is making a significant impact worldwide.
“The Chinese mainland’s approach to long-term planning has been instrumental in advancing the global green economy,” Ben-Gacem said in an interview with CGTN’s Cherry Qiu. “Their vision sets a powerful example for other nations striving for sustainable development.”
China has been investing heavily in renewable energy, green technology, and sustainable infrastructure. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
Ben-Gacem highlighted the importance of such foresight. “Long-term planning is crucial in addressing environmental challenges,” he noted. “China’s initiatives demonstrate how strategic investment in green sectors can drive both economic growth and environmental protection.”
For teenagers and young adults in the Global South, China’s model offers valuable lessons on how nations can balance development with sustainability. As the world faces pressing environmental issues, collaborative efforts inspired by forward-thinking policies are more important than ever.
