The New Zealand electricity authority predicts that all electricity will be generated from renewable resources by 2040.
More than NZ$10 billion has been invested in renewables in NZ in the past 15 years, lifting the renewable penetration from 65% of the market to 88% in normal conditions. This investment has been driven purely by economics, in the absence of demand growth and government incentives, unlike in many other advanced economies.
The New Zealand Electricity Authority predicts that their electricity grid will be 100% renewable by 2040.
“New Zealand is transitioning to a highly renewable electricity system. This change will require increased and accelerated investment in new electricity generation to match demand growth and the retirement of thermal power plants.”
Forever 21 filed for bankruptcy, prompting fashion experts to speculate about a downward trend in the fast-fashion industry.
"Consumers are waking up to the environmental impact of the choices they make — including the fact that so much apparel ends up in landfills — and recognizing that a sector based on a buy it/wear it/toss it ethos is unsustainable in both the economic and ecological senses."

Forever 21, once one of the preeminent names in fast fashion, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after months of reports and specula
Clean technologies, also known as 'cleantech', are technologies that contribute to sustainability and care for the environment.
Clean technologies, also known as 'cleantech', are technologies that contribute to sustainability and environmental protection. This includes innovative solutions for both climate change adaptation and mitigation, ranging from emission reduction to biodiversity protection and water treatment.
Common examples of clean technologies include renewable energies,electric vehicles, recycling and waste management processes, water reuse and the development of bioplastics, according to the experts consulted.

Regardless of how you feel about China or their political system, they lead in many aspects of renewable energy and electric vehicles, and their national plans have global implications.
We must unwaveringly uphold the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets and put it into concrete action. Guided by our goals of achieving peak carbon and carbon neutrality, we should make concerted efforts to cut carbon emissions, reduce pollution, pursue green development, and boost economic growth. We must reinforce our ecological security shields and strengthen our green development drivers. We should press ahead with the critical battle against pollution and the drive to upgrade ecosystems, move faster to develop a new energy system, work actively and prudently toward peak carbon emissions, and accelerate the shift to eco-friendly production practices and lifestyles.
Demand for clean technology is ‘skyrocketing’, especially in Global South, as China drives creation of cheaper solutions, report says.
