A new U.N. report detailing what the world needs to do to combat climate change has highlighted the need for China - by far the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter - to accelerate its shift towards clean and low-carbon energy.
This week's report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said global emissions needed to peak by 2025 and fall 43% below 2010 levels by the end of the decade if temperature rises are to be kept below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
China, which produces about a third of global annual emissions, has not officially responded to the IPCC report, and media coverage has been scant. Chinese researchers who helped draft the report also declined to comment. Economic stability has also been a growing concern, especially as the ongoing battle against new COVID-19 outbreaks stifles businesses and disrupts supply chains.
