China released a rapid-fire burst of climate policies in the first half of August to accelerate progress on the country’s goal to reach peak carbon by 2030. The policy rollout comes after the official readout of the Third Plenum called for a concerted effort to cut emissions, the first time carbon emissions were mentioned in a plenum document.
With carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and methane emerging as the two main areas of consensus on climate cooperation between the United States and China, both areas present opportunities for companies operating in these fields. Climate envoys John Podesta and Liu Zhenmin focused on these two areas during a meeting in Washington, DC, in early May.
The Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) will open on March 4, followed by the start of the National People’s Congress (NPC) on March 5. These meetings are collectively known as the Two Sessions, China’s most important annual political event where the country’s high-level economic policies for the coming year are laid out in the Government Work Report, which will be delivered by Premier Li Qiang.
As China’s local governments concluded their annual Two Sessions meetings last month, local GDP targets and personnel changes have been announced. These meetings are forerunners to the national Two Sessions, China’s annual parliamentary meetings which are scheduled to begin on March 4 and provide a window to the national economic outlook and forthcoming policies.
