Ministry of Ecology and Environment: my country has comprehensively promoted the implementation of nationally independent contributions and achieved positive results

On November 6, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a regular press conference in November. Xia Yingxian, Director of the Climate Change Response Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, answered reporters 'questions on China's progress in implementing the nationally determined contribution goals.

Xia Yingxian introduced that "nationally determined contribution", which is what we call NDC, is the "bottom-up" core implementation mechanism arrangement determined by the Paris Agreement. It is the initiative determined by each party to the Convention based on its own circumstances. Action goals for climate change. As the largest developing country, my country will complete the world's largest reduction in carbon emission intensity and go from carbon peak to carbon neutrality in the shortest time in history. This is not an easy achievement and requires hard work to promote extensive and profound economic and social systemic changes.

China has taken a series of actions to comprehensively promote the implementation of nationally determined contributions and achieve positive results. Regarding the progress you asked about, here is a set of data. In 2023, China will continue to promote the reduction of carbon intensity. Non-fossil energy consumption will account for 17.9% of energy consumption, and forest reserves will reach 19.493 billion cubic meters., an increase of 6.5 billion cubic meters from 2005, and the 2030 target has been achieved. As of the end of July 2024, the total installed capacity of wind power and solar power generation has reached 1.206 billion kilowatts, 2.25 times that of the end of 2020. We have achieved the 2030 installed capacity target more than six years ahead of schedule, making an important contribution to addressing climate change. Currently, China is studying and formulating a new round of nationally determined contribution goals. We will based on national conditions, under the framework of sustainable development, and in accordance with the Paris Agreement and the "United Arab Emirates Consensus" adopted last year, report to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in due course in 2025. Notify the nationally determined contribution in 2035.
