Released by the State Council Information Office two days after the opening of the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in the Brazilian city of Belem, the paper reinforces that the country remains resolutely committed to the global climate cause.

Titled “Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality: China's Plans and Solutions”, the paper outlines the big progress the country has made so far in promoting its green and low-carbon energy transition and its firm commitment to peaking carbon emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060.
