China Submits its Climate Action Plan Ahead of 2015 Paris Agreement Event

Am 30. Juni 2015 gab China offiziell seine nationalen Klimaziele (INDC) für den internationalen Verhandlungsprozess für das Weltklimaabkommen bekannt. Dem Dokument zufolge sollen die Treibhausgas-Emissionen China bis 2030 um 60 bis 65 Prozent sinken – im Vergleich zu 2005. Zudem will China den Anteil der fossilen Rohstoffe am Primärenergieverbrauch bis 2030 um ein Fünftel senken.

On 30 June 2015, the People's Republic of China submitted its new climate action plan to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). China will aim to cut its greenhouse gas emissions per unit of gross domestic product by 60-65% from 2005 levels under a plan submitted to the United Nations ahead of crucial climate change talks in Paris later this year. China said it would increase the share of non-fossil fuels as part of its primary energy consumption to about 20% by 2030.
