In August, China’s State Council Information Office released a white paper called “China's Energy Transition,” which, as the name suggests, highlighted China’s transition from primarily a fossil fuel economy to primarily a clean energy economy.
An excellent and informative piece and for me, as a member of the Qld Greens, very helpful in furthering the cause. People in Australia constantly voice the accusation "Look at China, they create more GHG emissions than any other country", apparently overlooking a population of 1.4 billion. I've tried to argue for years that the average Chinese generates half the GHG emissions of the average Australian and that we are in no position to cast stones at China. But it falls on deaf ears
In fact our current Govt is one of the worst offenders. They went to the election promising urgent and serious climate action but have continued to licence and subsidise more new fossil fuel projects. It's a pity Australia was left out of the video.
As you said in an earlier YouTube piece Jingjing, we can change the Govt but we can't change the policies whereas in China you can't change the Govt but you can change the policies. The annual Conference of Parties is always impressive.
