Report details climate change progress, as well as challenges

China on track to meet its goals, but AI advances, global warming are issues

The latest report on the state of China's climate response was submitted for review to Chinese lawmakers on Wednesday.

The report, compiled by the State Council, China's Cabinet, details the progress the country has made in climate change response, as well as its efforts to achieve peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality.

China has developed the world's largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system, has built the world's largest and most comprehensive new energy industrial chain and has contributed a quarter of the world's new green areas. However, growing energy demand presents challenges to climate governance, necessitating a more complete legal system, optimized energy structure and global cooperation, according to the report.
