Chinese authorities on Sunday unveiled a guiding document on the country's work to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals under the new development philosophy, laying out specific targets and measures for the coming decades.

By 2030, China's carbon dioxide emissions will peak, stabilize and then decline, and by 2060, China will be carbon-neutral and have fully established a green, low-carbon and circular economy, it says, reiterating the country's previous pledge.

"We are firmly committed to a green, low-carbon and high-quality development path that gives primacy to ecological civilization," says the document jointly released by the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council.

It outlines five major tasks, including creating a green, low-carbon and circular economy, improving energy efficiency, increasing the share of non-fossil energy consumption, lowering CO2 emissions and boosting the carbon sink capacity of ecosystems.
