A Low Carbon Development Strategy with Chinese Characteristics

Now one of the world largest CO2 emitters, China faces increasing pressure to reduce its emissions. Being a responsible country, it will take action to tackle climate change. When developing its mitigation target, China will consider such factors as the levels of development and technology know-how, social impacts, international image and a new international climate regime underpinned by fairness and effectiveness. China will move onto a win-win low carbon development path to achieve climate protection, quality economic development and other related policy targets.
