The world's renewable energy sector is the first to break through 10 million jobs in the world. In 2017, China provided 4 million 190 thousand jobs in the renewable energy field, accounting for 41% of the world's jobs. This figure is almost four times that of Brazil, which is ranked second.

In May 8th, the International Renewable Energy Organization (IRENA) published the annual regular report on renewable energy and jobs at the fifteenth Council on May 8th, according to the South Korean Central Daily Web site. According to the report, the total population of the world's renewable energy source sector is up to 10 million 300 thousand. In 2017 alone, the world added about 500000 jobs, up 5.3% from 2016. In particular, solar power generation has not only created 3 million 370 thousand jobs, but also has made great achievements in the field of renewable energy technology. "The increase in jobs shows that renewable energy plays a pillar role in low carbon economic growth all over the world", said Amin ad de Nan, the director general of international renewable energy. "As of 2050, 28 million jobs will be created in the field of renewable energy."

According to reports from various countries, China is becoming more and more prominent as a renewable energy powerhouse. In 2017, China provided 4 million 190 thousand jobs in the field of renewable energy, accounting for 41% of the world's jobs. This figure is almost four times that of Brazil, which is ranked second. Among them were the United States (810 thousand), India (720 thousand), Germany (330 thousand) and Japan (300 thousand). In the field of solar power generation, the proportion of jobs in China is also overwhelming. Of the 3 million 370 thousand jobs in the world, 2 million 200 thousand (2/3) have gathered in China.

Li Shangxun, director of the South Korean Green Energy Strategy Research Institute, explained that "China is deeply aware of the seriousness of air pollution and has made great efforts to reduce coal use policy in 2010. Under the support of this scheme, the proportion of renewable energy is growing rapidly."
