BEIJING/SHANGHAI - Chinese leaders will discuss ambitious new measures to tackle climate change on Monday at a government plenum to finalise a new five-year national development plan, after Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged to make the country “carbon neutral” by 2060.
Government departments drawing up the document were scheduled to complete the first draft by April, but Xi’s announcement to the United Nations that the country will offset all its emissions within 40 years meant they must integrate the new climate goals. “Right now every level of government is busy working on the 14th Five-Year Plan,” said Kevin Lo, Associate Director at the David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies in Hong Kong, who studies China’s environmental policies.
It could start by setting an absolute emissions cap for the first time, said Zou Ji, head of the Energy Foundation China, which has been involved in five-year plan research.“Our recommendation is to establish a target to control total carbon emissions ,” he said at a conference last week.Since 2019, China made energy security a major priority, with the government supporting an increase in fossil fuel output and reviving coal-fired power projects.
In comments circulated on social media, Li Tianxiao of the Development Research Center, a cabinet think tank, predicted China would need to double wind and solar capacity to around 500 GW each by 2025.
The world leaders, wow
CCPChina has vowed to do a lot of things, but rarely lives up to them - open its market to the world, stop stealing technologies, promise to maintain 'one country, two systems' in HK, etc. None of them is realized! China is simply not trustworthy!

Китай - оперативно сделайте технологический рывок (наука – практическое применение) в замене сырьевой энергетики (уход от угля, нефти, газа), с уклоном на экологию и природосбережение, и весь мир будет равняться на вас - ваши технологии!
And I'm sure they will do it. Meanwhile we are still going to be convincing the ignorant here that's there is a problem.
