China’s carbon emissions set for structural decline from next year

Emissions by world’s most polluting country could peak this year after surge in clean energy investments

China’s carbon emissions could peak this year before falling into a structural decline for the first time from next year after a record surge in clean energy investments, according to research.

Emissions from the world’s most polluting country have rebounded this year after the Chinese government dropped its Covid restrictions in January, according to analysis undertaken for Carbon Brief.
