$106.3 billion last year, around double the $55.6 billion total in 2019.

Cooperation Organisation, will also attend the SCO heads of state summit in Kazakhstan this week.
In addition to energy agreements made by the SCO member states, which control a significant portionof the world's natural gas reserves, the benefits of transportation and infrastructure projects
connecting the countries are also noteworthy.
In this context, Türkiye is taking part in China's Belt and Road Initiative project.
In addition, an agreement on a China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project, which is planned to bebuilt under the initiative, was signed last month.

The Digital Economy Report 2024
The Digital Economy Report 2024 underscores theurgent need for environmentally sustainable andinclusive
digitalization strategies. Digitaltechnology and infrastructure depend heavily on
raw materials, and the production and disposal ofmore and more devices, along with growing waterand energy needs are taking an increasing toll on
the planet.
For example, the production and use of digital
devices, data centres and information andcommunications technology (ICT) networks
account for an estimated 6% to 12% of global
electricity use. Developing countries bear thebrunt of the environmental costs of digitalization
while reaping fewer benefits. They export low
value-added raw materials and import high valueadded devices, along with increasing digitalwaste. Geopolitical tensions over criticalminerals, abundant in many of these countries,
complicate the challenges.
The report calls for bold action frompolicymakers, industry leaders and consumers. It urges a global shift towards a circular digital
economy, focusing on circularity by design through durable products, responsible consumption, reuse
and recycling, and sustainable business models.

SECTORS
Global Electricity Demand Set to Rise Strongly This Year and Next
The world’s demand for electricity is rising at
its fastest rate in years, driven by robust
economic growth, intense heatwaves andincreasing uptake of technologies that run onelectricity such as EVs and heat pumps,
according to a new report by the IEA. At thesame time, renewables continue their rapidascent, with solar PV on course to set newrecords.
Global electricity demand is forecast to grow by around 4% in 2024, up from 2.5% in 2023, the IEA’sElectricity Mid-Year Update finds. This would represent the highest annual growth rate since 2007,
excluding the exceptional rebounds seen in the wake of the global financial crisis and the Covid-19
pandemic. The strong increase in global electricity consumption is set to continue into 2025, withgrowth around 4% again, according to the report.
Renewable sources of electricity are also set to expand rapidly this year and next, with their share ofglobal electricity supply forecast to rise from 30% in 2023 to 35% in 2025. The amount of electricitygenerated by renewables worldwide in 2025 is forecast to eclipse the amount generated by coal forthe first time. Solar PV alone is expected to meet roughly half of the growth in global electricity demand
over 2024 and 2025 – with solar and wind combined meeting as much as three-quarters of the growth.
