As the largest CO2 emitter globally, China has announced its ambition in reaching its carbon emission peak by 2030 (the concrete roadmap is currently being drafted) and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.

Multinational companies have more options now to achieve their sustainability targets while capturing growth opportunities in China’s “green sectors”.
