As global climate efforts intensify, SUEZ CEO Xavier Girre emphasized the transformative potential of Sino-French environmental collaboration during an exclusive interview with CGTN this week. The remarks follow French President Emmanuel Macron's landmark state visit to China earlier this year, which yielded strengthened bilateral agreements on climate action.
"By merging China's industrial scale with France's green technology expertise, we can create solutions that benefit both nations and the planet," Girre stated, highlighting water management and circular economy initiatives as key growth areas.
The 2025 joint statements signed during Macron's visit outline concrete cooperation in nuclear energy innovation and multilateral climate governance. Analysts note this builds on decades of environmental diplomacy between the two nations, now accelerating through public-private partnerships.
With China maintaining its position as the world's largest renewable energy investor and France leading in sustainable urban development technologies, industry observers predict this collaboration could shape global climate strategies through 2030.
