Three days before the start of the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in Glasgow, China has become the thirteenth of just over 190 countries to submit its revised climate targets to the United Nations – the so-called Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). China’s NDCs consist of the previously announced 30/60 targets: Peak greenhouse gas emissions before 2030, climate neutrality from 2060. China’s great leap before the summit, which some had hoped for, thus failed to materialize.
