China's Greenhouse Emissions have an Impact on the Entire Globe

China became the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide in 2006 and is now responsible for more than a quarter of the world's overall greenhouse gas emissions. It is expected to come under intense scrutiny at the COP26 summit over its commitments to reduce these. Along with all the other signatories to the Paris Agreement in 2015, China agreed to make changes to try to keep global warming at 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, and well below 2C. China strengthened its commitments in 2020, but Climate Action Tracker, an international group of scientists and policy experts says its current actions to meet that goal are highly insufficient. Experts agree that without big reductions in China's emissions, the world cannot win the fight against climate change. In 2020, China's President Xi Jinping said his country would aim for its emissions to reach their highest point before 2030 and for carbon neutrality before 2060. His statement has now been confirmed as China's official position ahead of the COP26 global climate summit in Glasgow, But China has not said exactly how these goals will be achieved. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-57483492
