Sounds like he just said the 7-10% was from the peak, which is slated to be "before 2030" based on the current NDC.

It was just delivered by President Xi at the UN climate summit in New York by video english.news.cn/20250925/326...

Question - I think he said the target was based off a 2030 peak?

Adaptation has been neglected in past NDCs from China so it’s mention is also notable

The target goes beyond the high-level goal to give details about how they are likely to meet the goal including by increasing the use of non-fossil energy and EVs, plus expanding the national ETS to cover high-emissions sectors (such as industry)

We should not forget that this marks the first ever absolute, economy-wide GHG emissions target for China

-The signaling of “striving to do better” shows that this is a low-end goal for China, which as many like to say prefers to under promise and overdeliver on climate and energy goals.
-We should not forget that this marks the first ever absolute, economy-wide GHG emissions target for China

-Scale up the total forest stock volume to over 24 billion cubic meters
-Make new energy vehicles the mainstream in the sale of new vehicles
-Expand the national ETS to cover major high emissions sectors
-Establish a climate-adaptive society

me too...

China’s industrial policy has attracted a lot of faddish attention recently. But @jhelvy.bsky.social and @joannalewis.bsky.social have been studying for a decade-plus, long before it was clear it would work.

Was great to talk about how it’s been a fabulous failure: heatmap.news/podcast/shif...
