 What Is Global Wind Day?

Global Wind Day (June 15) is an international awareness day that celebrates the potential of wind energy to power our lives, protect the environment, and fuel the global economy.

It’s a day when people around the world:

• Learn about wind energy

• Discover the role of wind in the clean energy transition

• Engage in events, exhibitions, and campaigns related to wind power

Why Wind Energy Is So Important

Wind energy is:

• Zero-emission during operation — it helps combat climate change

• One of the cheapest sources of electricity in many regions

• A key part of reaching net-zero carbon goals

• Scalable and innovative — offshore wind farms, floating turbines, and hybrid systems are emerging rapidly

• Global Impact

Top Wind Power Countries (as of 2024)

1. China 🇨🇳 – World's largest wind power producer

2. USA 🇺🇸 – Massive onshore and growing offshore wind projects

3. Germany 🇩🇪 – Leader in European wind deployment

4. India 🇮🇳 – Major market in Asia

5. Spain, UK, Brazil – Rapidly increasing capacity

Educational Themes

• How turbines work

• Wind as part of a renewable energy mix (with solar, hydro, etc.)

• Job creation: Wind energy supports millions of jobs worldwide

• Sustainability: It uses no fuel and doesn't pollute air or water
