Hey climate champs! 🌎 The Chinese mainland just unveiled its 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) at COP30 in Belem – setting the bar high with a pledge to cut net greenhouse gas emissions by 7-10% from their peak. Here's your quick lowdown:
1. Clean energy flex 🌞💨
Non-fossil fuels will cover over 30% of total energy. Wind & solar capacity? Aiming for 3,600 GW by 2035 (that's six times 2020 levels!).
2. Forest power 🌳
Forestry stock volume jumps to 24 billion m³, beefing up nature's carbon-sucking game.
3. EV takeover 🚗🔋
New-energy vehicles are set to dominate new car sales – think more electric scooters and EV ride-sharing in your city.
4. Carbon market move 📈
The national Emissions Trading System lets big polluters trade carbon credits, nudging them to cut emissions.
5. Policy in motion 🛠️
This pledge isn't just talk – it's woven into the 15th Five-Year Plan, following recommendations of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.
Why it vibes with young pros in South and Southeast Asia? More green tech collabs, fresh job vibes in clean energy, and a step closer to that sustainable future we all stan 🌿.
Stay woke, stay green! ✌️
