| Summary: | The Chinese government, based on its
commitment to carbon reduction in the Paris Climate
Agreement,laid out its intention to achieve peak CO₂
emissions by 2030, and to make its best effort to peak as
early as possible. It committed to lowering CO₂ emissions
per unit of GDP by 60–65 percent of their 2005 levels, and
to increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in primary
energy consumption to about 20 percent. Although these
targets were set up for the country as a whole, it is
essential for decision makers and practitioners to
understand the contribution the transport sector can make if
its development path is aimed at sustainability. |
