When President Xi Jinping addressed the Climate Ambition Summit on December 12, he updated China s carbon targets for 2030, which came close on the heels of the September pledge to have carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.
The new goals have been broken down into concrete steps China will take in the next 10 years. Carbon emissions will be cut by over 65 percent per 10,000 yuan ($1,520) of GDP from the 2005 level and non-fossil fuels will account for around 25 percent of the primary energy consumption. The forest stock volume will be upped by 6 billion cubic meters from the 2005 level and wind and solar power generation capacity will be raised to at least 1,200 gigawatts.
