China’s new targets an example to us?

China’s 2015 commitments are much stronger than those it was prepared to make in 2009, reflecting the enormous strides it has made in building the world’s largest renewable energy industry. The goals being aimed for by 2030 (which reiterate and elaborate on the goals announced as part of the historic November 2014 climate pact with the United States) include:

  •  peaking of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 or earlier
  •  reducing carbon intensity by 60-65% relative to 2005 levels
  •  increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to 20%
  •  increasing forest cover by 4.5 billion cubic metres relative to 2005 levels.
