China just dropped its 2035 climate masterplan – and it’s a game-changer. 🌏✨
President Xi Jinping announced at the UN Climate Summit that China aims to slash net greenhouse gas emissions by 7-10% from peak levels by 2035 while boosting non-fossil fuels to over 30% of energy use. The blueprint? A renewable energy revolution with 3,600 gigawatts of wind/solar power (that’s 6x 2020 levels! 🔋) and making EVs dominate new car sales. 🚗⚡
From Confucius to Carbon Markets
Rooted in ancient philosophy about human-nature harmony, China’s strategy mixes massive green tech investments with global diplomacy. Premier Li Qiang highlighted China’s world-leading clean energy supply chains, while the National Carbon Market expands to curb industrial emissions. 🌳💡
Global Green Teamwork
China’s playing climate chess on multiple boards: – Training 120+ nations’ officials through South-South climate programs 🌐 – Slashing global solar costs by 80% through manufacturing muscle ☀️ – Creating 25% of Earth’s new green areas since 2000 🌲
With its ‘build first, phase out later’ approach, China’s proving development and sustainability can coexist. As one expert put it: “Lucid waters and lush mountains aren’t just scenery – they’re economic assets.” 💼💧
