Existing Challenges in Asia
Today, Asia, has become the engine of world economic growth. At the same time, trends like climate change, digital transformation, demographic shifts, and growing public expectations for better quality of life have given rise to a multitude of challenges and significant changes:
- Asia is by far the largest and most populous continent, accounting for 60% of the world’s population;
- Increasingly frequent floods, droughts, and extreme weather events threaten local environments and regional climates;
- Climate change is set to drastically worsen water scarcity in areas where water is already in short supply.
China, together with other Southeast Asian countries, is stepping up efforts to address climate change, by constantly seeking innovative solutions to promote sustainable development. To meet the many climate challenges, we must start by preserving and restoring our environment. We must also optimize resource management in municipalities and industries through resilient and innovative solutions and smart city initiatives that improve environmental and economic performance and contribute to carbon neutrality goals.
