Intensive Efforts To Address Climate Change

In his statement at the General Debate of the 75th Session of the UN General Assembly in September 2020, President Xi Jinping reiterated China's determination to have carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2030, and for the first time announced the goal to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. Since then, China has elevated its efforts to tackle climate change to a new level. The two goals have also become a core around which the country's economic and social development unfolds.
