China Not for Doing Without Carbon

South China Morning Post reported today that Chinese senior officials urge caution on “carbon neutrality.” On Dec. 11, former finance minister Lou Jiwei said there was a difference between “striving to” reach peak carbon emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060, and “ensuring [those targets would be achieved]. We are a developing country. We should bear common but differentiated responsibilities that are different from developed countries,” Lou told the China Centre for International Economic Exchanges.
