The world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases has a “long way to go” in its campaign to protect the environment, according to an article from Reuters. The State Council, China’s cabinet, reports improvements in the country’s pollution situation but admits it will be difficult to achieve carbon neutrality in 2060 as President Xi Jinping pledged.
According to Reuters, the State Council announces new, “in-depth” measures to tackle air and water pollution. China will reportedly focus efforts on key sectors including energy, steel and transport in its efforts to curb carbon emissions, though it has not offered new targets in the non-binding national climate change plans that must be submitted to the United Nations as part of the 2015 Paris Agreement.
