The European Chamber, in partnership with Roland Berger, would like to invite you to the online launch of our upcoming report Carbon Neutrality: The Role of European Business in China’s Race to 2060, on 25th May, 15:00–16:30. President Jörg Wuttke will present the main findings.
Achieving carbon neutrality is a key policy objective for the Chinese government. Speaking at the UN in September 2020, Xi Jinping outlined China’s intentions to peak its carbon emissions before 2030 and laid down an extremely ambitious target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. This has catalysed a series of policy shifts, yet the path to carbon neutrality remains riddled with obstacles.
The European Chamber’s latest report draws on the expertise of European companies operating in China, which have extensive experience working on decarbonisation related challenges in their home markets, to outline the key barriers which risk undermining China’s decarbonisation drive and make suggestions on how best to address them.
