The world needs China to win that battle 2021 ( USA-CHINA)

 China's carbon emissions are huge. Not only that, but the country's carbon emissions are also increasing. Therefore, experts agree that the world will not be able to win the fight against climate change without a major reduction in China's carbon emissions. This is said in a special report published online by BBC.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has said his country will achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2060. This means that by this time, China will have reached a balance between accepting and rejecting carbon dioxide from nature. But Xi Jinping did not say how China would achieve this ambitious goal.

Reducing carbon emissions is a challenge for all countries. But that is the biggest challenge for China. This is because China's per capita carbon emissions are relatively high.

China has a large population. The country's economic growth is also high. Due to this, China's carbon emissions are higher than any other country in the world.

In 2016, China was the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide. China is now responsible for more than a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.

Many experts believe that it is possible to achieve the goal of reducing China's emissions. But it requires major policy changes.

Coal has been China's main source of energy for decades. The use of coal is increasing day by day in the country.

President Xi Jinping has announced that China will reduce its use of coal from 2026. But his announcement is being criticized. Many countries and environmentalists have criticized Beijing over why China will not reduce its use of coal before 2026.

Researchers at Xinhua University in Beijing say it will take China until 2050 to completely stop using coal to generate electricity by replacing nuclear and renewable energy products.

When this is the case, China is building new power plants instead of shutting them down. At present, new coal-fired power plants are being built in at least 60 places across the country. Multiple centers are being built in some places.

China's argument: Beijing has the right to do what the West has done in the past. That means China will develop its economy in exchange for carbon dioxide emissions. Will alleviate poverty.

China is not stopping at building coal-fired power plants inside its country; They are also financing the construction of coal-fired power plants outside the country.

But China itself is a victim of pollution. Air pollution is a serious problem for many cities in the country. Nevertheless, China's carbon emissions continue to rise.

However, China is also taking some positive steps for the environment. For example, they are moving towards ‘green energy’ or environmentally friendly fuels. China is developing environmentally friendly technology. China is collecting more solar energy than any other country in the world. Although the amount of solar energy collected is not satisfactory compared to the population of China. China is generating electricity from wind. They are making electric cars. He is also buying an electric car.

In addition, China is implementing greening projects. China is greening faster than any other country in the world. They have undertaken afforestation projects to reduce pollution and soil erosion. They are growing multiple crops on the same land every year.

These Chinese initiatives are positive for the environment. But these initiatives are too small compared to China's rate of carbon emissions.

The world needs China's help-cooperation-support to win the fight against climate change, the BBC reports. "If China doesn't stop emitting carbon, we won't be able to stop climate change," said David Tyfield, a professor at the Lancaster Environment Center.
