China's Emissions Peak Nears Amid Renewable Energy Surge
TL;DR Summary
China's carbon emissions may peak by 2025, driven by a surge in green energy and electric vehicle adoption, though experts remain divided. A report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air highlights China's progress, with over half of new cars sold being electric for three consecutive months in 2024. However, challenges remain, as China's carbon intensity reduction targets are at risk due to economic growth driven by high-tech manufacturing. The international community is closely watching China's decarbonization efforts, especially in light of potential U.S. policy shifts under a second Trump presidency.
