"Young Chinese today have a broader worldview, stronger moral and public sense, and as a result they will care more about carbon emission and environmental protection," Wang said. "Moreover, our generation is likely to witness the realization of China's dual carbon goals and benefit from it...
China released 11.9 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2023, making it by far the world's largest polluter that year. While most countries experienced dramaticemission reductionsin 2020 due to COVID-19, China was one of only a handful of countries where emissions increased. ...
Carbon emission indicates the CO2emission in a specific time period. In various available literature, it is shown that the optimal design of an HRES can be achieved by minimizing carbon emissions along with overall system cost (Kumaret al., 2023). ...
In the Blue Book on Forest Fire Carbon Emissions Research (2023), the CAS also called for building a comprehensive and scientific carbon emission monitoring and measurement system. The blue book included the latest research achievements on global carbon emissions by experts from the Institute of Appl...
The two superpowers will strive to "triple renewable energy capacity globally by 2030" with China saying the agreement would "accelerate the substitution for coal, oil and gas generation" in order to secure "meaningful absolute power sector emission reductions" this decade. ...
Commercial banks are required to publicly disclose information on the carbon-reduction loans and the emission cuts financed by such loans. A wind farm in southwest China's Guizhou Province, January 8, 2023. /CFP A wind farm in southwest China's Guizhou Province, January 8, 2023...
Accurate, long-term, full-coverage carbon dioxide (CO2) data in units of prefecture-level cities are necessary for evaluations of CO2 emission reductions in China, which has become one of the world’s largest carbon-emitting countries. This study develops a novel method to match satellite-based...
Fig. 3: Decomposition of CO2emission drivers in peak-and-decline countries. Changes in growth rates (% per year) of contribution factors to carbon emissions before (first point) and during and after (last point) the economic crisis associated to the CO2peak, based on the Kaya identity and ...
Now, the country's carbon trading market has evolved into a more mature mechanism that promotes environmental protection through market-based approaches. Data reveals that as of May 2022, the cumulative volume of carbon emission allowances in the national carbon market is about 235 million tonnes,...
Thus, the emission-reduction effect of establishing a climate ministry cannot be explained by a simultaneous increase in policies. Fig. 5: Effect of establishing a dedicated climate ministries on climate policies. The figure present the effect of establishing a dedicated climate ministries on the ...
