flag China pledges net emissions cuts by 2035, new EVs, and renewable expansion at UN summit.

flag On September 24, 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced updated climate targets at the UN Climate Summit, pledging to cut economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions by 7% to 10% from peak levels by 2035, expand wind and solar capacity to 3,600 gigawatts, raise non-fossil fuel energy use to over 30%, and make new energy vehicles the norm. flag This marks China’s first absolute emissions reduction commitment under the Paris Agreement, signaling a shift to economy-wide caps. flag While hailed as a significant step, experts say the goals fall short of what’s needed to limit warming to 1.5°C, citing an undefined peak year and modest renewable targets. flag The move is seen as a boost to global climate efforts ahead of the Paris Agreement’s 10th anniversary.
