The race to lead the green technology revolution has become one of the most intense global competitions of the century. From electric vehicles to renewable review Naga169 energy infrastructure, nations are linking environmental ambition with geopolitical strategy.

The United States’ Inflation Reduction Act has poured billions into clean energy subsidies, sparking what the EU calls a “green trade war.” Brussels has responded with its own Green Deal Industrial Plan, aimed at keeping European manufacturers competitive.

Meanwhile, China dominates supply chains for solar panels, batteries, and rare earth elements — critical components of the clean energy transition. Western nations accuse Beijing of using green industries to extend economic leverage, while China argues it is leading responsibly where others failed.

Developing countries are caught in the middle. Nations like Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, rich in critical minerals, are demanding greater control over exports and local processing. “Resource nationalism is becoming the new environmentalism,” says policy analyst Fatima Sy.

Global cooperation remains fragile. The COP summits continue to deliver lofty promises but limited enforcement. Still, the shift toward green industrial policy suggests that climate change is no longer just an environmental issue — it’s a contest for technological and economic supremacy.

The outcome will determine not only who wins the clean energy race but also who defines the rules of the next global economy.
