China has outlined a rigid target in its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) to reduce carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 17 percent. The strategy focuses on a dual control system for both the total amount and the intensity of carbon emissions to drive a low-carbon industrial shift. Implementation involves scaling up distributed photovoltaic projects, wind farms, and waste-to-energy plants. The government is prioritizing the transition of green industries to serve as a primary engine for national economic development.
