BEIJING: China has made remarkable progress in promoting the ambitious climate targets that it pledged two years ago to meet, with the essential establishment of a national climate policy system and significant growth in nonfossil energy development.
While upholding multilateralism, the country has also seen its overseas investments and exports becoming greener, and efforts to help other developing economies with their climate actions have been embraced more broadly by global partners.
Thursday marked the second anniversary of the announcement of China’s climate targets of peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060.
President Xi Jinping made the announcement while addressing the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly via video link. The president also called on all countries to seize the historic opportunities presented by the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and achieve a green recovery of the world economy. The past two years have seen the intensive introduction of climate-related documents in China, which together constitute the country’s top-level design, designated as the “1+N” policy system, for the targets.
