China's Energy Transition

Conclusion

Over the past decade, China has achieved remarkable success in its resolute transition to green and low-carbon energy. However, energy transition is a systemic socio-economic transformation of broad and profound significance and a long-term strategic initiative that requires steady progress and sustained efforts, guided by the new energy security strategy.

China has formulated a medium- and long-term development plan. By 2035, it aims to have achieved basic socialist modernization, to have in place eco-friendly ways to produce and consume energy, to expedite the transition to non-fossil fuels as its main energy sources, to have established a new power system to support this transition, and to have largely reached the goal of building a beautiful China. By the middle of the century, China will have become a great modern socialist country with a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system. Its energy efficiency will be among the world’s highest, with non-fossil fuels as its main energy sources, as the country looks to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.

The earth is our shared home, and a clean and beautiful world with bluer skies, greener mountains, and clearer waters is the common aspirationof everyone in this global village. To address the challenge of climate change and achieve the sustainable use of energy, the world must accelerate the pace of the global energy transition. The green revolution concerns the wellbeing of everyone and future generations. All countries should work together to protect our planet for the sake of human survival.

China is committed to respecting nature, following its ways, and protecting it, and stands for the vision of building a global community of shared future. It continues to accelerate its green and low-carbon energy development, and promote a global energy governance system characterizedby equity, justice, balance and inclusiveness. China will work with other members of the international community to plan energy cooperation together, address global climate change, promote harmony between humanity and nature, and create a clean and beautiful world for us all.
