Clean-energy development in China

In June,China announced its 2030 target to cut its greenhouse-gas emissions per unit of gross domestic product by60%–65%rom 2005 levels.To achieve the goal,it would increase the share of non-fossil fuels as part of its primary energy consumption to 20%by 2030 and aim to peak emissions around the same time.As world’s largest carbon emiter,the announcement is widely hailed not only as a strong impetus for the UN climate talks,which are convened in Paris this month,but a solution to the country’s unprecedented choking pollution.
