        "summary": "China says its climate efforts have delivered significant progress, with carbon intensity down 17.7% from 2020 levels by 2025 and non-fossil energy accounting for 21.7% of consumption. Renewable energy, clean-energy manufacturing and carbon trading are expanding, as solar capacity overtakes coal and China\u2019s emissions market covers more than 65% of national emissions.",
        "content": "<p>Beijing (ANTARA) \u2014 China\u2019s efforts to respond to climate change have\nachieved significant results in recent years and are gradually\nestablishing a green, low-carbon development pathway, a senior\nenvironmental official said on Wednesday (21 October).<\/p>\n<p>Li Gao, China\u2019s Vice Minister of Ecology and Environment, made the\nremarks at a press conference launching the Ministry of Ecology and\nEnvironment\u2019s annual report on the country\u2019s climate-change policies and\nactions.<\/p>\n<p>The report showed that in 2025, China\u2019s carbon dioxide emissions per\nunit of gross domestic product (GDP) were 17.7 per cent lower than in\n2020. Non-fossil energy accounted for 21.7 per cent of total energy\nconsumption. Combined installed wind and solar power capacity reached\n1.84 billion kilowatts, while forest stock volume stood at 20.99 billion\ncubic metres.<\/p>\n<p>The progress has been supported by the country\u2019s continued efforts to\naccelerate its green and low-carbon transition. China has built the\nworld\u2019s largest and most comprehensive clean-energy industrial chain,\nwith green and low-carbon industries becoming an important driver of\neconomic growth, Li said.<\/p>\n<p>In the first half of 2026, China\u2019s total installed renewable energy\ncapacity reached 2.46 billion kilowatts, or 60.7 per cent of the\ncountry\u2019s total power-generation capacity. At the end of July, installed\nsolar power capacity exceeded coal-fired power capacity for the first\ntime, making solar the country\u2019s largest single source of\nelectricity.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s total installed capacity of operational and approved nuclear\npower units now ranks first in the world. Production and sales of new\nenergy vehicles have also ranked first globally for 11 consecutive\nyears.<\/p>\n<p>Li said China had established the world\u2019s largest carbon emissions\ntrading market, covering about 8.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide, or\nmore than 65 per cent of the country\u2019s total emissions. Cumulative\ntrading of allowances has recently exceeded 1 billion metric tonnes.<\/p>",
