Q&A: What is in China’s new five-year plan for climate change?

China has released a new five-year plan focused on addressing climate change, which outlines goals for reducing emissions and enhancing climate resilience through 2030. The plan, issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) in collaboration with 18 other government agencies, includes targets for peaking carbon emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. It emphasizes non-CO2 greenhouse gases, carbon markets, and international cooperation, marking a consolidation of existing policies rather than introducing new targets. Experts note the plan reflects a strategic shift toward comprehensive climate governance, aligning with China's commitments under the Paris Agreement.
