China has solidified its role as a global climate leader through its newly announced 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions, unveiled at September's UN Climate Summit. The plan outlines unprecedented clean energy expansion, including a sixfold increase in wind and solar capacity from 2020 levels by 2035, while transitioning from carbon intensity metrics to absolute emissions reduction targets.
From Commitment to Action
The strategy marks a historic shift in China's climate policy framework, aligning with Paris Agreement requirements. Key milestones include reducing net greenhouse gas emissions and raising non-fossil fuels to 80% of total energy consumption. Analysts note this could position China to peak emissions earlier than projected.
Ecological Civilization in Practice
President Xi Jinping's philosophy of 'lucid waters and lush mountains' continues driving environmental restoration projects nationwide. Recent initiatives have accelerated pollution control measures and biodiversity protection programs, with forest coverage increasing by 26% since 2020.
Global Green Partnerships
Through South-South climate cooperation, China has established 10 low-carbon demonstration zones in developing countries this year alone. The nation remains the world's largest producer and exporter of renewable energy equipment, supplying 70% of global solar panel demand in 2025.
