[Climate In China @ChinaClimate]

for a number of years we have worked to reduce CO2 emissions, improve energy efficiency, expand renewable energy and develop low carbon cities. We are on track to meet the Copenhagen climate pledge, which is to reduce its carbon intensity by 40-45% below 2005 levels by 2020.

China will be putting a price on carbon by building a national cap and trade system. This will launch in 2017 and be the world's largest. We have pledged 20 million ($3.1 billion US) to the South-South Climate Cooperation Fund to help developing countries address climate change!

guess who has committed to peak its CO2 emissions by 2030 and to make best efforts to peak earlier!! China! This will increase non-fossil energy to 20% of its energy consumption by 2030! This will require it to install 800 to 1,000 gigawatts in non-fossil capacity, same as the US
