Liu Shijin, Deputy Director of Economic Affairs at the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), suggested that targets for carbon emissions reduction should be included in the 14th Five Year plan with progress posted as the country seeks to achieve carbon neutrality. At a forum on December 18, he said to achieve China’s promises to reach peak carbon emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060, the two commitments could bring about a “revolution to future technology and growth models” in the country. “We had better start now,” he said. Liu Shijin suggested that Beijing should include the two indicators — carbon emissions and carbon intensity — in its 14th Five-Year Plan, a roadmap for the country’s development from 2021-25, and release data on a regular basis.
