President Xi Jinping said China will decide on its own path to reduce carbon emissions instead of following other nations.

China’s resolve to achieve the dual-carbon goal, a twin initiative in reaching a carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, is unwavering, CCTV reported on Tuesday citing Xi as saying at a national conference on environmental protection. “But the path, method, pace and intensity to achieve this goal should and must be determined by ourselves, and will never be influenced by others,” he said.
