The announcement is the country's latest climate pledge and a major step forward to address emissions.

China will not build new coal-fire projects abroad, a move that could be pivotal in tackling global emissions.China has been funding coal projects in countries like Indonesia and Vietnam under a massive infrastructure project known as the Belt and Road initiative.

No further details were provided, but the move could limit the expansion of coal plants in many developing countries under China's Belt and Road Initiative . Mr Xi mentioned promises made last year about China achieving peak emissions before 2030 and then transitioning to carbon neutrality by 2060.The US Climate Envoy John Kerry welcomed the announcement, saying in a statement that he was "absolutely delighted to hear that President Xi has made this important decision".

The biggest question remains: When will this country start to cut the overall number within its borders and substantially reduce its dependency on the most polluting form of power generation?

And me. I won't build any either. No how about they stop building them in China. There's a thought.

GretaThunberg End for coal-No. Beginning of the End-Could be. Alok Sharma welcomes it. Presumably UK Gov will now cancel their proposed new coal mine in support. Details of the PRC pledge needs scrutiny. Other countries dependent on coal will continue as before, thats for sure.

AND IN CHINA?
