China Global Podcast – The German Marshall Fund | China is the world’s largest energy consumer and carbon emitter, accounting for one-third of global CO2 emissions. One of its most significant sources of emissions is coal, which plays a central role in China’s economy. At the same time, China is the world’s leading renewable energy supplier, thanks to substantial government investments in green technologies like solar manufacturing, batteries, and minerals. In September 2020, China’s leader Xi Jinping announced the goal of achieving peak CO2 emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060, a critical step in addressing global warming.
