Climate change is a challenge for all of humanity. The sus-tainable development of the Chinese nation and the future of the planet depends on tackling it successfully. China attaches great importance to its response to climate change. As the largest developing country in the world�� China has adopted a number ofpolicies�� measures and actions to tack-le climate change and take part in global climate governance��despite the difficulties this creates for its own economic and so-cial development. These efforts have achieved positive results. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Par-ty of China ��CPC�� convened in 2012�� guided by Xi Jinping thought on eco-civilization and committed to the new devel-opment philosophy�� China has made the response to climate change a higher priority in state governance. It has steadily reduced the intensity ofits carbon emissions�� reinforced the ef-fort to achieve its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs����and maximized its drive to mitigate climate change. It has adopted green and low-carbon approaches in its economic and social development�� and worked to build a modernized country in which humanity and nature coexist in harmony. At the general debate of the 75th Session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 22�� 2020�� President Xi Jinping announced that China would scale up its NDCs by adopting more vigorous policies and measures�� strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030�� and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. China is taking pragmatic actions towards these goals. As a responsible country�� China is committed to building a global climate governance system that is fair�� rational�� coop-erative and beneficial to all�� and makes its due contribution to tackling climate change using its greatest strengths and most effective solutions. Confronted by the challenges of climate change�� China is willing to work together with the international community to ensure the Paris Agreement delivers steady and lasting results�� and make greater contribution to the global re-sponse. The Chinese government is publishing this white paper to document its progress in mitigating climate change�� and to share its experience and approaches with the rest of the inter-national community.
