Hong Kong: China has once again reiterated that its carbon emissions will reach their peak by 2030 and only then will it decrease. It also said that it would soon announce a detailed plan to reduce it.

However, the US and Britain say that China should cooperate more towards preventing climate change. The country’s envoy on climate change, Xia Zhenhua, said in an online webinar that China will soon release a plan to reduce carbon emissions and will discuss them in detail at the UN climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, later this year.

China has already said that its carbon emissions will peak in 2030 and then come down, achieving the goal of zero carbon emissions (carbon neutrality) by 2060. The world’s largest carbon emitter has argued that it is still a developing economy and should not be classified as a developed country in its efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

World leaders and advocates for concrete action on climate change will gather in Glasgow in November for the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP). In this conference, all the countries will unite and try to agree on reducing carbon emissions and keeping the temperature of the earth up to 1.5 ° C in climate change, so that the dire consequences of climate change can be avoided.
