Germany emphasizes China's crucial role in reducing emissions to meet global climate goals, despite China's heavy reliance on coal and its status as a developing nation.
The pace at which China will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions will be critical to reaching the global targets to fight climate change , Germany ’s climate envoy has said. “What China decides to do in its NDC is probably the most important thing to keeping that 1.5-degree target in sight,” Jennifer Morgan, Germany ’s State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action, said, as carried by Bloomberg.
But it is also the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter and continues to approve coal-fired power generation to meet its rising electricity demand without compromising energy security. Last year, China invested $676 billion in its energy transition, the authorities said in August. Since 2013, China has been responsible for over 40% of the annual additions to global renewable energy capacity.
