Notes

In 2023, China led global hydropower employment with 34%, followed by India at 20%. Their dominance reflects ambitious renewable targets, China aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, while India targets net-zero emissions by 2070. As hydropower expands to meet carbon goals, employment is expected to grow, driven by global targets like IRENA's estimate of an additional 850 GW needed by 2050.
