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? 🌱💡
