Closing the Emissions Gap Through Subnational Climate Actions in China

This report provides an overview of subnational climate actions in China's provincial regions. It aims to understand carbon emission trends and mitigation progress in each provincial region, track how each provincial region is implementing the nation's dual-carbon goals, assess regional implementation capacity by measuring how subnational energy and climate goals were implemented between 2015-2020, determine whether the policies currently in place will be sufficient to achieve subnational dual-carbon goals, and identify gaps and opportunities to enhance subnational climate actions.
