BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) — A report released at a regular session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) on Wednesday showed that China has made significant progress in responding to climate change and moving toward the goals of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality.

According to the report, which was presented by Minister of Ecology and Environment Huang Runqiu on behalf of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, China has built the world's largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system, developed the most complete industrial chain related to the use of new energy sources, and created a quarter of the world's new green space.

China's reduction in carbon intensity and the share of non-fossil fuels in its energy mix are broadly in line with expected progress toward the country's 2030 national targets, while installed wind and solar power capacity and forest resources have already reached targets ahead of schedule, the report said.

The report said China has made significant progress in energy transition and industrial transformation, with non-fossil energy accounting for 60.9 percent of total installed capacity as of the end of June 2025.

Progress has also been made in other sectors, including green building, clean and low-carbon transport and a national carbon trading market, the report said, also highlighting the important contribution China has made to global climate governance.

Huang Runqiu said that China faces complex challenges in controlling carbon emission intensity as it must move from peak carbon emissions to carbon neutrality in the shortest time in history and achieve sharp emission reductions while advancing the green transition amid the complex and serious situation of international climate governance.

The report calls for continued implementation of the national climate change strategy, sustainable progress towards carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, and the formulation and advancement of the country's 2035 nationally defined targets to promote green, low-carbon and high-quality development. -0-
