Nation to tackle green trade barriers

Government Work Report outlines measures to achieve carbon neutrality

China will take effective steps to address green trade barriers as it moves toward carbon neutrality, according to the Government Work Report delivered at the opening of the third session of the 14th National People's Congress on Wednesday.

Green trade barriers typically involve measures that impose restrictions or requirements on imported products to ensure compliance with specific environmental standards.

The country will actively and prudently work toward its climate targets of peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060, the report stated, listing concrete measures to advance those goals.
