Climate policy of China
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The climate policy of China is to peak its greenhouse gas emissions before 2030 and to be carbon neutral before 2060.[1] Due to the large buildout of solar power in China and burning of coal in China the energy policy of China is closely related to its climate policy.[2] There is also policy to adapt to climate change.[3] Ding Xuexiang represented China at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2023, and may be influential in setting climate policy.[4]

There is a debate surrounding China's economic responsibilities in terms of climate change mitigation and efforts to mitigate climate change within China. In 2006, China surpassed the United States as the country with the highest total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rate.[5]
