Overview

China has made a major strategic decision to achieve carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The country has formulated a clear timetable, roadmap, and construction plan and introduced the “1+N” policy system from the top. This book provides a theoretical study and practical exploration of nine key aspects related to China's carbon peaking and carbon-neutral strategy: the background of Carbon Peaking and carbon neutrality, scientific and legal basis, strategic planning and path framework, energy-saving and carbon reduction measures, renewable energy, carbon sinks, carbon pricing mechanisms, the green financial system, and practical case studies. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. The present version has been revised technically and linguistically by the authors in collaboration with a professional translator.
