PARIS - China can easily meet its Paris climate pledge to peak its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, but sourcing 20 per cent of its energy needs from renewables and nuclear power by that date may be considerably harder, researchers said on Tuesday .
"It is not pulling back from implementing the Paris Agreement even though US President Donald Trump signalled his intention to do so." ROOM FOR MORE AMBITION The only major climate policy exclusively aimed at reducing CO2 levels is China's emissions trading scheme . Driving up the price of carbon within the ETS and boosting the share of renewables in China's electricity grid will both depend on revamping the country's power sector, the study said."There is political resistance from owners of existing coal plants, and from the provinces with major coal production and coal use."
