Largest emitter: China lags behind on methane strategy

The recent German-Chinese government consultations are considered a „remarkable success of German climate diplomacy,“ according to the environmental organization Germanwatch. China, in a joint statement with Germany, has expressed the need for accelerated emissions reductions within this decade, which is seen as a rare commitment, as noted by the environmental organization. Jennifer Morgan, the Special Envoy for International Climate Action, was also enthusiastic, stating, „We have managed to make China say: We are ready to do more, to create more ambition, to accelerate our energy transition.“
