Sungrow chairman issues “red alert” on climate change

Climate change is an intricate and interwoven challenge among businesses, industries and societies. Nearly two-thirds of the world’s power is currently generated using coal and natural gas. As a result, 40 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions come from the power sector. At the current pace, it would be difficult to contain global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

“Climate change is a crisis which we will only be able to address if we work together at a global scale. The next decade will be crucial to put us on track to decarbonize the economy,” said Cao Renxian, Chairman of Sungrow, in an executive interview of the Climate Group.
