The Energy Transitions Commission report presents a collective view that China needs a strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century to meet the Paris climate objectives. The report also highlights that achieving this goal is technically and economically feasible and would benefit the Chinese economy. The report is based on a broader literature review and feedback from representatives of Chinese companies, academia, and institutions, as well as global companies and institutions operating in China. The report has been endorsed by the Energy Transitions Commission members, but individual recommendations may not be fully agreed upon. The report provides confidence to Chinese decision-makers that it is possible to grow the Chinese economy while limiting global warming to well below 2°C.
