The Chinese government is publishing this white paper to present a full picture of China’s ideas, actions, and achievements in green development in the new era, and to share with the world its experience in this regard.

As the world’s largest developing country, China is committed to the idea of a global community of shared future. It has offered unwavering support to multilateralism, proposed the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative, expanded practical cooperation, and actively participated in global environment and climate governance. It has contributed Chinese wisdom and strength to implementing the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, creating a community of life for humanity and nature, and building a clean, beautiful and prosperous world of sustainable development.

Despite the downside, China is not only embarking on lockstep toward its two carbon targets respectively in 2030 and 2060, but also actively helping the developing countries tackle climate issues via South-South cooperation, the white paper showed.

The slew of concrete moves is an embodiment of China’s commitments to the world as a responsible major power. More importantly, it sends both a resounding and encouraging message to the world, in the midst of chaotic global schemes and widened divisions, which observers said is set to inject new impetus to the global climate fight.

The white paper, titled “China’s Green Development in the New Era,” contains seven chapters, including China’s commitment to green development path, green territorial configuration, industrial structure’s further optimization, mechanism for green development and international cooperation outreach. According to the white paper, China, as the world’s largest developing nation, has made remarkable progress in green development and great contribution in the global arena.
