2021 marks the first year of China's 14th Five-Year Plan period. China has vowed to reach a carbon emission peak by 2030 and be a carbon-neutral country by 2060, while pushing reforms that promote green and low-carbon energy.

At the same time, China also said that it would not rush to accomplish its carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals "in one battle" in order to ensure a safe and reliable supply of new energy, according to the statement concluding the Central Economic Work Conference on December 10, 2021.
