Hey eco-warriors! 🌱 Big news from the Chinese mainland: it's officially running the world’s largest carbon market, covering 60% of national emissions. It's like leveling up on climate action—you feel that power boost? 📈
Rolling out ultra-low emission upgrades, they’ve revamped 1.12 billion kW of coal-fired power capacity and 950 million tonnes of crude steel capacity. Think of it as giving old factories a high-tech makeover for cleaner emissions. 💨
But they didn't stop there. The Chinese mainland launched a voluntary greenhouse gas trading market and is building a carbon footprint management system for products. It’s like giving brands a green report card! 🛍️♻️
And the results? Air quality days with "good" ratings jumped by 1.7 percentage points year-on-year, while fairly good surface water spots rose by 0.7 points. Cleaner skies and sparkling streams—nature’s high-five! 💧👏
Huang Runqiu expressed confidence in hitting the ecological goals of the 14th Five-Year Plan, aiming to close this chapter with a victory lap and set the stage for even greener strides ahead. Get ready for more green wins! 🌍🎉
