Since the Paris Agreement was signed

it has become a broad consensus of the international community to promote global carbon neutrality. Green energy development is the key to achieving carbon neutrality; Hydropower

as a highly flexible renewable energy

will play an important role in the transformation of the global energy structure. The current hydropower development situation is different across the world

due to the difference in economic development levels

hydropower potentials

and the degree of development. And the development of global hydropower faces both opportunities and challenges under the current complex context of global energy transition

climate change

environmental policy impact

and geopolitical conflicts. In recent years

China is leading the development of hydropower and has made remarkable progress. Therefore

the global hydropower industry needs to speak up and take active measures to formulate development strategies from various aspects

deepen the energy revolution

drive the sustainable development of hydropower globally

and push it to continue to play a role as the backbone of tomorrow's novel energy system for a smooth realization of carbon neutrality.
