According to a rolling news update published on the official website of the Chinese government:
China emphasizes its commitment to strive for carbon peaking by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, launching a comprehensive initiative to advance the low-carbon transition.
The article clarifies:
Carbon Peaking: Refers to the point at which carbon dioxide emissions reach their maximum level and then gradually decline.
Carbon Neutrality: Achieving a balance between carbon dioxide emissions and reductions through measures such as emission cuts, carbon sinks (natural or artificial systems that absorb CO₂), and technological innovations.
Realizing these goals is positioned as a major strategic mission to address climate change and accelerate green development, underscoring China’s role in global sustainability efforts.
