China is doubling down on sustainability with a bold new blueprint to transform its economy and society. The Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council have released comprehensive guidelines targeting a green transition across industries, energy systems, and urban development by 2030.
By the end of this decade, China aims to boost its energy conservation and environmental protection sector to 15 trillion yuan ($2.1 trillion) while slashing commercial transport carbon emissions by 9.5% compared to 2020 levels. The plan also sets a 25% non-fossil energy target in its consumption mix—a leap toward decarbonization. →
Key focus areas include:
Overhauling industrial and energy systems to prioritize low-carbon solutions
Expanding pumped storage hydropower to 120 million kilowatts in capacity
Reusing 4.5 billion tonnes of bulk solid waste annually by 2030
Modernizing transport and urban-rural infrastructure for eco-friendly living
The guidelines position 2035 as the next milestone, envisioning a 'Beautiful China' with a fully established green economy. Could this accelerate global climate efforts?
