Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality in China: Theory and Practice

China has made a major strategic decision to achieve carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The country has formulated a clear timetable, roadmap, and construction plan and introduced the “1+N” policy system from the top. This book provides a theoretical study and practical exploration of nine key aspects related to China's carbon peaking and carbon-neutral strategy: the background of Carbon Peaking and carbon neutrality, scientific and legal basis, strategic planning and path framework, energy-saving and carbon reduction measures, renewable energy, carbon sinks, carbon pricing mechanisms, the green financial system, and practical case studies.
