China
- China NDCs / 2021
China has outlined a comprehensive plan for CO2 emission reduction with specific milestones for 2025, 2030, and 2060. By 2025, the goals include a 13.5% reduction in energy consumption per unit of GDP, an 18% decrease in CO2 emissions per unit of GDP from 2020 levels, and a 20% share of non-fossil fuel energy consumption. Looking ahead to 2030, China aims for a substantial 65% reduction in CO2 emissions per unit of GDP from 2005 levels and a target of 25% non-fossil fuel energy consumption. The long-term vision for 2060 involves achieving carbon neutrality and utilizing over 80% of non-fossil fuel energy.
The world's top five emitters—China, the United States, India, European Union, and Russia— produce over half of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, making up 53.69% of total emissions. In contrast, the bottom 100 countries account for just 2.9% of emissions altogether.
