Thirty-eight Chinese Cities Carbon Reduction Initiative

ongoing

Thirty-eight Chinese cities have reduced their emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) despite growing economies and populations for at least five years. A further 21 cities have cut CO2 emissions as their economies or populations have 'declined' over the same period. The study recommends setting individual emission targets for cities based on their resources, industrialization levels, socio-economic characteristics, and development goals.
