Carbon Peaking and Neutrality

Carbon peaking and neutrality cannot be an empty talk. We need to take real action to reduce carbon emissions and do our part by living a green, low-carbon life.

China mapped path to carbon peaking and neutrality in the documents Working Guidance for Carbon Dioxide Peaking and Carbon Neutrality in Full and Faithful Implementation of the New Development Philosophy and Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peaking Before 2030, unveiled on October 24. The documents evidence China’s determination to pursue green and low-carbon development and its will to actively tackle climate change.

Peaking carbon emissions and reaching carbon neutrality will require extensive and profound systematic change both economically and socially. The key is to follow a new development philosophy and live and work in a greener way. To make it happen, governments, businesses, and individuals all need to change.
