CGTN: How China’s ‘two mountains’ concept is shaping global green development

Published

on

CGTN published an article exploring the significance of China’s “two mountains” concept, a green growth philosophy that is central to the country’s ecological efforts and serves as an inspiration for global sustainable development.

Erik Solheim recalled that over a decade ago, he was too worried about smog in Beijing to even run outdoors. Today, the former executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme makes time for morning runs whenever he returns to the city.

During a jog this year, Solheim noted that most vehicles on the road were “quiet, pollution-free, cost-effective” new energy vehicles, a visible transformation that reflects a deep shift in China’s green growth philosophy – one rooted in a concept articulated by President Xi Jinping: “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.”

The “two mountains” concept, which literally means green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver, has become a guiding principle for China’s ecological efforts and a source of inspiration for sustainable development worldwide.

As President Xi has said, “Harmony between man and nature is a defining feature of Chinese modernization. China is a steadfast actor and major contributor in promoting global green development.”

A philosophy that guides real change

First put forward in 2005 during Xi’s visit to Yucun Village in east China’s Zhejiang Province, the “two mountains” concept has transformed from a local slogan into a cornerstone of China’s national strategy.

Today, China leads the world in renewable energy deployment. It had installed nearly 1.889 billion kilowatts of total renewable capacity by the end of 2024, including approximately 887 million kilowatts of solar, 521 million kilowatts of wind and 436 million kilowatts of hydropower, which accounted for 56 percent of the nation’s total power capacity and supplied about 35 percent of its electricity generation.

The “two mountains” concept has sparked interest well beyond China. A global opinion poll released by CGTN, covering 24,515 respondents from 48 countries, showed that 81.6 percent of global respondents believe the concept has broken the traditional “polluting first and cleaning up later” model of growth.

Clifford Cobb, a leading ecological economist in the United States, has closely followed China’s environmental path. He believes the idea presents a new model of development.

“Over the past 20 years, China has proven that it’s possible to protect nature while generating economic value,” Cobb said. “It’s a win-win vision the world can learn from.”

Promoting international cooperation for a greener future

China’s green development vision is helping power global cooperation. A vivid example can be found on the vast steppes of northern Kazakhstan’s Akmola Region, where renewable energy is transforming the local economy.

Engineer Khasabay Kinlosan is part of that change. Every day, he maintains more than 40 wind turbines that are part of a major Belt and Road cooperation project between China and Kazakhstan. These turbines produce over 800 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, cutting carbon emissions by 650,000 tonnes.

As the Belt and Road Initiative moves into a new stage of high-quality development, the “two mountains” philosophy is finding growing resonance abroad.

Almas Chukin, a prominent Kazakh economist, says the concept struck a chord with him. “China has become a leader in solar and wind power, and it is addressing global challenges such as climate change through action, not just words,” he said.

China’s commitment to a shared green future goes far beyond Central Asia. It has supported low-carbon development and ecological capacity building in more than 100 developing countries, particularly small island nations and African states.

Through multilateral platforms like the South-South Climate Cooperation Initiative and the Belt and Road’s Green Development Partnership, China is exporting not only technologies but also growth models and sustainability know-how.

Its contributions to global biodiversity are equally notable. In 2022, China hosted COP15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity, helping broker the landmark Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. UN officials noted that the agreement’s success owes much to China’s long-standing emphasis on a “whole-of-society” approach to environmental governance.

“President Xi’s ecological civilization thought holds great theoretical value and has also proven highly effective in practice,” said Eliason Kaganga, a Tanzanian scholar focused on protecting Lake Victoria. “China’s solutions – especially those that empower local people – are bringing lasting benefits to African countries and communities.”

Press Release

Sergey Baburov and the HYDE team will take part in the international exhibition Caff Culture Show 2025 in London

Published

on

Kazakhstan, 18th Aug 2025 – HYDE, an independent coffee company led by Sergey Baburov, announced plans to participate in the Caffè Culture Show 2025, an international coffee exhibition that will be held on September 30 — October 1 in London. Participation in the event will be part of the brand’s professional agenda aimed at observing industry trends and clarifying approaches to product and visual development.

The Caffè Culture Show is an annual exhibition that brings together representatives of the coffee business, technology solutions and retail. HYDE sees participation as an opportunity to structure internal observations, evaluate ways to present a product in a retail environment, and refine parameters related to packaging, assortment, and customer interaction.

The team’s preparation for the event includes:

– analysis of the current product line and packaging approaches,

– selection of visual and informational materials for the internal presentation,

– preparation of an itinerary for the exhibition and priority topics in the business program.

HYDE plans to use the exhibition as a platform for observing and collecting references on packaging, point-of-sale navigation, showcase design, flavor presentation, and coffee presence formats in an urban environment. Special attention will be paid to the visual language of the stands, communication style and customer engagement scenarios..

“For us, participation in the exhibition is part of the methodical work. This is an opportunity to look at the industry from the outside and ask yourself the right questions: how do our solutions meet expectations, how can we adapt our approaches to a more mature market, and what can be improved in the brand perception structure,” commented Sergey Baburov, HYDE founder.

Following the trip, the HYDE team plans to prepare internal review materials that will be used in updating the product strategy, visual identification and packaging solutions. The possibility of releasing a small series of posts or notes with key observations is also being considered.

The company does not plan commercial announcements within the framework of the event and does not consider the exhibition as a marketing activity. The main focus is on observing, analyzing, and structuring information that can be applied in the next stage of brand development.

The participation in the Caffè Culture Show 2025 will be the HYDE team’s first international visit to an industry event. In the future, it is planned to continue to participate in professional events in Europe and Asia, including in the format of research trips and workshops.
