According to Reuters Shanghai reported on October 28, a United Nations registration form shows that China has submitted its latest "Nationally Determined Contribution Report" on climate change, officially increasing its overall commitment to reduce emissions.
Materials published on the website of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change show that China aims to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, thus formally writing China's earlier commitments into the report.
China has also pledged to increase the share of non-fossil energy in primary energy consumption to about 25 percent by 2030 and to increase the total installed capacity of wind and solar power to more than 1.2 billion kilowatts.
The Nationally Determined Contribution Report is not a binding national response to climate change, but under the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, the document must be submitted to the United Nations on a regular basis. Countries hope to increase their ambitions to combat climate change.
According to the Spanish "Pioneer" website reported on October 28, pessimistic environmental experts believe that global climate change has become irreversible, and optimists believe that the earth can still be saved. Who is right will depend on cop26 to be held in Glasgow on the 31st. The success of this conference will depend on the attitude of the two world bosses" of China and the United States. China has expressed its willingness to protect the environment.
U.S. President Joe Biden has still failed to persuade Democratic lawmakers to support his social spending and climate plans before setting off, even though he has slashed his budget. Whether Biden can shake up the powerful American industry remains to be seen, because American industry does not want to make too many sacrifices for the cause of the earth's environment.
COP26 in Glasgow is the last big chance to stop climate change from having devastating consequences. It is hoped that leaders around the world will be up to the task and successfully complete the task.
In addition, according to the CNN website reported on October 29, any attempt to solve the climate crisis will require the contribution of the two major powers. With world leaders about to attend COP26 in Glasgow, plans for China and the United States are in the spotlight.
