Greenpeace Briefing: China - taking action on climate change

Due to the urgency of climate change, China, along with other nations, has recognised that it has a responsibility to take action to reform its energy sector and curb its greenhouse gas pollution. China has set strong goals that if achieved would represent strong action on climate change in the near term. China’s National Climate Change Program, which was released by the Chinese government in early June, is the first comprehensive national program on climate change adopted by any developing country.
