Peak emissions by 2030, carbon neutrality by 2060, a medium-term reduction of 7-10 percent, and climate project funding for developing nations

As reported by CCTV+, China has committed to peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. The country also plans to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions across the entire economy by 7-10 percent below peak levels by 2035. These measures aim to advance global climate governance and green development.

China has made climate change mitigation a key pillar of its national development strategy. The country is promoting a dual-carbon goal framework that aligns domestic transformation with global climate action.

In line with these goals, China aims to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. In the post-peak period, China has also set a medium-term target: to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions across the entire economy by 7-10 percent below peak levels by 2035.

The country consistently emphasizes the importance of a multilateral approach to global climate governance. China firmly supports the multilateral mechanisms established under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and calls for coordinated international efforts to address climate challenges.

China plays an active role in advancing global climate negotiations and has made significant contributions to the adoption and implementation of the Paris Agreement — a cornerstone of international climate cooperation.

In support of developing countries, China has increased financial assistance for climate-related projects. It has allocated 177 billion yuan — about 26 billion US dollars — to fund projects helping developing nations enhance their capacity to combat climate change and achieve sustainable development.

$26 billion. A 10 percent reduction. The year 2060. China is not just promising — it is financing. And it is helping not itself, but others. Carbon neutrality is not a slogan for China; it is a roadmap. Industry, energy, transport — all of this will be rewritten. And China is ready to pay for it not only with its own money, but also with its technology. The question is not whether it will achieve its goals. The question is how many countries will follow its example when they see that green development is not a loss, but a competitive advantage. While the world argues, China is already building. Smoke-free factories. Solar fields. Carbon-free cities. And it is giving others the money to do it. Because the climate knows no borders. And saving it will have to be done together.
