At the latest session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China laid out a roadmap for tackling climate change and hitting its dual carbon goals—carbon peak and carbon neutrality—on time. Minister of Ecology and Environment Huang Runqiu delivered the update on behalf of the State Council, highlighting the country’s rapid strides.
According to the report, China has built the world’s largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system, transforming wind, solar and hydro into the backbone of its power supply. Alongside the scale-up of clean power, the nation has developed the most complete new-energy industrial chain, covering everything from solar panel manufacturing to electric vehicle batteries.
On the land front, China’s push for green development has added a quarter of the world’s newly planted greened area, boosting biodiversity and capturing carbon at an unprecedented scale. These combined efforts underscore how large economies can drive global progress on climate action.
Key Highlights
- Renewable Power Surge: World’s largest, fastest-growing clean energy system.
- Industrial Chain: Fully integrated new-energy manufacturing and supply.
- Green Growth: 25% of the world’s newly added greened area.
This momentum not only moves China closer to its dual carbon targets but also sets a new standard for international cooperation and innovation in sustainability.
