Turkey, the National Center for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction of the National Development and Reform Commission hosted the "China's Road to Carbon Neutralization" side event at the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31) "China Corner" in Antalya, Turkey. Wang Shancheng, Director of the Department of Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection of
the National Development and Reform Commission, Xia Yingxian, Director of the Department of Climate Change of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and Mohammed Taimur, Director of Implementation Coordination of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, attended the event and delivered speeches.
The meeting pointed out that under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, China will unswervingly take the road of ecological priority and green development, actively and steadily promote carbon peak and carbon neutralization, and accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. Energy transformation has achieved a historic breakthrough, and the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption has increased from 16.0% in 2020 to 21.7% in 2025. The "green content" of industrial development has been continuously improved, and the world's largest and most complete new energy industry chain has been built. The energy efficiency level in the industrial field has been continuously improved, and the unit energy consumption of key products such as steel and cement has reached the world's advanced level. The production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for many years, and new buildings have fully implemented green building standards.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is the decisive period to achieve the carbon peak. China will anchor the goal of achieving the carbon peak by 2030 and adhere to green and low-carbon development, which not only injects stability and certainty into the global green transformation, but also provides a useful reference for all countries, especially developing countries, to achieve the coordinated promotion of economic growth and green transformation. In the face of the global challenge of climate change, all parties should adhere to multilateralism, uphold the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, consolidate the political consensus of solidarity and cooperation, focus on the implementation of actions, promote the deep integration of climate change into the implementation of the four major global initiatives, build a fair, reasonable and win-win global climate governance system, and jointly address the challenge of climate change with practical actions. The responsible comrades of the relevant departments, bureaus and units of the Ministry of
Ecology and Environment and the State Energy Administration, and the relevant experts of the National Committee of Experts on Climate Change attended the meeting. Representatives from the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, the International Energy Agency, the German Energy Agency and the Indonesian State Power Company were invited to participate in the meeting. Through dialogue and exchanges with international organizations,
this side event has conveyed to the international community China's firm determination and practical actions to achieve the "double carbon" goal, and has condensed the consensus on cooperation to jointly address global climate change. More than 100 representatives from relevant institutions, social organizations and enterprises at home and abroad participated in the meeting.
