Xi calls for peaking carbon emissions, achieving carbon neutrality

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday called on the nation to follow the path of green development and strive to peak carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality as scheduled.

President Xi made the remarks while attending an annual voluntary tree-planting activity in Beijing.

China aims to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, Xi announced at the general debate of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly via video link last September.
