| Project Detail |
China emits the most greenhouse gases of any country in the world. As such, its climate protection measures will have enormous ramifications worldwide. However, China still needs stronger institutions and laws to counter climate change. The country has set itself far-reaching environmental and climate protection goals for 2030. Its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will peak before 2030 and it will become carbon neutral before 2060. But implementing these goals poses enormous challenges, among which are uneven geographical distribution of resources and economic power, differences in the degree of development between urban and rural areas and a lack of financial and technical support. Objective The Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) is being supported in designing and implementing effective climate policies so that China can achieve its climate goals for 2030 earlier. |
