The country is the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases
China approved a new energy law this Friday to promote carbon neutrality, state media reported, in line with the government’s goal of decarbonizing its economy by 2060.
The country’s main legislative body met this week in the capital to approve a series of new laws and measures to support the economy.
According to the state news agency Xinhua, legislators voted on Friday in favor of the text that “will actively and constantly promote (…) carbon neutrality.”
The law also wants to “promote high-quality energy development, ensure national energy security, and promote green and low-carbon transformation as well as sustainable development of the economy and society,” according to Xinhua.
China is the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases that scientists say contribute to global warming and climate change.
