CCTV: According to a study conducted by Nature, China`s emissions in 2013 were as much as 14% lower than previously thought. The study says that China released 10.6 billion tonnes less carbon dioxide (CO2) during 2000 to 2013, equivalent to three years of EU emissions. China still is the highest in terms of carbon emissions but the latest figures prove that they are not as high as previously stated such as according to a report by Harvard`s Kennedy School`s Belfer Center, published in May 2015, in 2012...

China announced last November, in a joint declaration with the US, that it would peak its carbon emissions by 2030. This target forms the blueprint for China's offer. Although the core commitments are not likely to change, more...

The lights from the Beijing Environment Exchange -- one of seven pilot markets in China for trading carbon -- raises questions for the country as it prepares for next year's roll-out of a nationwide system that could help the world's biggest emitter of heat-trapping...
