Hey fam, 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, and China took the stage at the UN Climate Summit in New York with a fresh climate roadmap for 2035 🌍✨. These new targets build on their previous “dual carbon” goals (peaking CO₂ before 2030, neutrality by 2060) and push the envelope even further.
Here’s the lowdown on the key goals:
- Cut greenhouse gases by 7910% from peak levels
- Boost non-fossil fuel share to over 30% of energy use
- Grow wind and solar capacity to 3.6 billion kW (6× 2020 levels)
- Expand forests to 24 billion m³ in total stock
- Make new energy vehicles (NEVs) mainstream in new-car sales
- Widen the National Carbon Emission Trading System to major sectors
- Lay the foundation for a climate-adaptive society
Experts from Tsinghua University and Beijing Forestry University are calling this package a “clarified continuation” of earlier pledges. They highlight that China is stepping up with its own plan—no one else is forcing it—which could spark major growth in green tech and sustainable industries 🚀.
For young pros and tech enthusiasts across South and Southeast Asia, this means fresh collab chances in renewable energy, electric mobility, and eco-friendly startups. Get ready to see more green jobs, cleaner commutes, and sustainable lifestyle trends hitting cities from Jakarta to Hyderabad. Let’s #ChargeUp for a greener future! 🌿🔋
