China has released a framework for its path towards peak emissions and carbon neutrality ahead of the critical United Nations climate summit that begins in Glasgow on Sunday.

The State Council on Tuesday issued the action plan for the country to peak carbon emissions before 2030, in which it restated the country’s climate goals for 2025 and 2030.

By 2030, the share of non-fossil fuels in China’s energy consumption is set to increase to 25 per cent from less than 16 per cent in 2020, and it is targeting a 65 per cent drop in carbon intensity – or carbon emissions per unit of GDP – from the 2005 level, according to the plan.
