Some of China’s provincial carbon peaking plans are being released. Zhejiang, a costal economic powerhouse, just did so: mp.weixin.qq.com/s/QRVO_0ifb1ID…. Its peaking target is interesting and reflects where we are with Chinese climate momentum. The Plan says “By 2030, to peak CO2 emissions followed by a steady decline.”

With Xi's announcement at the UNGA to stop building new coal plants overseas, a deeper dive on what to make of it and what does it tell us about China's climate diplomacy. Thread 1. The commitment is a good step forward, one that has been long in the making. BRI has passed its feverish early years when quantity was king. Project quality is the new priority now. Overseas coal projects have already been reduced in recent years.

As the dust settles for the #ClimateAmbitionSummit, here is my deeper dive on Xi’s announcement (thread) 1) China has now increased all 4 of its NDC headline targets. The peaking & carbon intensity targets are arguable the most important and have only received modest enhancement. The non FF target is politically easier, it sends a positive market signal, but can/should be higher.
