Xi reminds everyone that becoming carbon neutral won’t happen overnight

At the recent Central Economic Work Conference, President Xi Jinping called for resolve in achieving China’s dual carbon goals of peaking emissions by 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality by 2060. He pointed out that the goals won’t be achieved overnight and noted that ensuring energy security will be necessary in phasing out fossil fuels. China will exempt clean energy from total energy consumption controls to bolster green power industries. The conference also urged state-owned enterprises to play a major role in stabilizing energy prices and ensuring the power supply.
