Pursuing green development, China endeavors to protect Earth with concrete actions

In line with the requirements of the Paris Agreement, China announced its 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions at the UN Climate Summit in September – an ambitious pledge that will guide the country toward unprecedented expansion of clean, reliable, and affordable energy.

From reducing economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in China's total energy consumption to expanding the installed capacity of wind and solar power sixfold from 2020 levels, it marked the first time China had set an absolute emissions reduction target, signaling the country's shift from intensity-based control to total emissions control.

Over the years, China's steadfast commitment and remarkable progress in green development have seen it emerge as a champion in the global transition to renewable energy, shining brightly as a beacon of hope in the fight against climate change.

Today, the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" serves as a guiding principle for China's modernization, inspiring efforts to curb pollution and restore ecosystems.

China is firmly committed to the path of ecological priority and green development, while expanding the world's "green map" and promoting a more inclusive, sustainable model of global development.
