BEIJING/SHANGHAI - China’s greenhouse gas emission targets are at risk as a result of the trade war with the United States, which has put Beijing’s coal-reliant economy under heavy pressure, a senior climate official said on Friday.
The world’s biggest producer of climate-warming greenhouse gases has pledged to bring its emissions to a peak by around 2030 as part of the global effort to curb rising temperatures. “Don’t underestimate the determination and confidence of the Chinese government, but at the same time, don’t underestimate the difficulties China is facing,” he said.
United Nations climate envoy Luis de Alba told Reuters earlier this month that the U.N. had received a “positive response” from China on ending investment in coal, a major source of greenhouse gas and air pollution.
