China's policy system to achieve climate goals implemented
China has essentially implemented a policy system for the country's ambitious climate goals of reaching peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and realizing carbon neutrality by 2060, said Xie Zhenhua, China's special envoy for climate change.
He made the remarks during an event celebrating the 10th National Low-Carbon Day on Wednesday in Jinan, Shandong province.
Aside from a guideline for the targets and an action plan for hitting peak emissions offered by central authorities, Xie said China has drafted implementation plans for the energy, industry and transportation sectors, among others, and rolled out measures supporting technology, taxes, finance and carbon sinks.
"Some of them have been unveiled, and some will be made public very soon," he said.
Adhering to the new development philosophy of innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development, China will accelerate its green, low-carbon transition in its socioeconomic development efforts and in different sectors, he noted.
He also stressed that the country will draw on other nations' strengths through mutual learning and pragmatic cooperation as it endeavors, together with countries around the world, to make significant progress in global climate governance in the coming decade.
