China's 2030 Carbon Intensity Offer Viable With Sustained Push for. Renewable Sources

摘要

China's offer to cut the carbon intensity of its economy by up to 65 percent over the next 15 years is a marked improvement from the more modest pledge the world's top emitter of greenhouse gases made just six years ago, analysts and China climate experts told Bloomberg BNA July 1. But hitting that target will mean ratcheting up efforts by the world's second largest economy on renewable energy while simultaneously cutting coal consumption, analysts said. Several analysts who closely track the progress of China's efforts to address climate change said its revised carbon intensity target-announced June 30 as part of a broader pledge to peak its emissions by 2030 or sooner as part of a global climate accord-is ambitious but feasible.
