China was, together with the U.S., the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases in 2005. A majority of these emissions are fossil fuel related. China is very carbon intensive by international standards – without drastic improvement in Chinese carbon intensity, it will not be possible to keep global temperature rise within 2 °C.
Current Chinese climate policies are driven by energy security, aiming to reduce energy intensity by 20% by 2010. If met, this unarguably represents the largest policy driven reduction of CO2 emissions worldwide.
As low-carbon development pathways become increasingly mainstreamed the choice is either for China to change or be left behind.
