China plans to cut its reliance on fossil fuels to below 20% by 2060, according to a cabinet document
While the document detailed new measures on how the world's biggest polluter will decarbonize, the country is not updating its pledge to reduce emissions. The guidelines come less than a week before world leaders descend on Glasgow, Scotland, for crucial COP26 international climate talks. There, they will be expected to hash out a plan to accelerate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions over this decade.
Thirty years later, China aims to have 80% of its total energy use coming from non-fossil fuels, the document said, according to Xinhua. By 2030, China said its CO2 emissions per unit of GDP will fall by 65% compared with 2005 levels. China is already a world leader in producing renewable energy but will need to ramp up its capacity in wind and solar to meet its climate targets.
