China has announced its intention to peak CO 2 emissions by 2030 or earlier. The peak in greenhouse gas emissions would reach 35-40% above 2010 levels. Current policies are likely not to be sufficient to meet the announced 2030 target. The expected emission levels reach about 50% above 2010 levels. Our selected enhancement policy measures lead to peaking CO 2 emissions before 2030.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
