Abstract

China is a leader in building renewables capacity and in greenhouse gas emissions. Given this contradiction, how can one make sense of the country’s environmental performance? Mathias Larsen argues that this debate needs to take nuance into account. China’s emissions may already have peaked and could fall rapidly, despite its continued investments in coal.
