The report shows that since 2021, China has actively implemented the Paris Agreement, focusing on the goal of peaking and carbon neutrality, vigorously, orderly and effectively advancing various key tasks and achieving remarkable results.

At present, China has established a “1+N” policy system for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, formulated a medium- and long-term greenhouse gas emission control strategy, promoted the construction of a national carbon emission trading market, and formulated and implemented a national climate change adaptation strategy.

According to preliminary calculations, in 2021, China’s carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) will decrease by 3.8% compared with 2020, and a cumulative decrease of 50.8% compared with 2005. The proportion of non-fossil energy in primary energy consumption will reach 16.6%. The installed capacity has reached 635 million kilowatts, coal consumption per unit of GDP has been significantly reduced, and the forest coverage rate and stock volume have achieved “double growth” for 30 consecutive years.
