China plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 17% during the 2026-30 period, according to a report from the National People's Congress. The initiatives will include creating a national fund for low-carbon transition, promoting hydrogen power, and regulating high-emission projects.

Analysts highlight that China's approach can guide other Asian nations in their decarbonization efforts. Additionally, the upgraded China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement encourages collaboration in renewable energy and green economy sectors. China's investments in clean energy reached $625 billion in 2024, with a significant portion of global wind turbines and solar panels produced domestically.
