Dec. 03, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — This report highlights key findings from a joint report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) regarding the immense growth of the global green economy.

The report also underscores that China is cementing its role as the global leader in green technology through overwhelming investment, innovation, and production capabilities. To assist corporate leaders, the report concludes by providing a “CEO Guide” that outlines strategies for successful growth, focusing on factors like technology maturity and close regulatory shaping.
