## China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds

Authored by theguardian.com

China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months, analysis reveals, adding evidence to the hope that the world’s biggest polluter has managed to hit its target of peak CO 2 emissions well ahead of schedule.

Last year, the country installed 333GW of solar power, more than the rest of the world combined.

China’s president, Xi Jinping, did not attend the leaders’ summit at the UN climate conference, but the Chinese delegation are present for the talks.

Xi’s US counterpart, Donald Trump, also did not attend and has not sent a negotiation team.

In September, the country released its latest climate targets, to cut overall greenhouse gas emissions by between 7% and 10% of their peak by 2035.

China is also on track to miss its target for cutting carbon intensity – the CO2 emissions per unit of gross domestic product – between 2020 and 2025.

In China, all eyes are now on the 15th five-year plan, which lays out the government’s priority and policies for the 2026-2030 period. »

### Why Trump’s Ukraine Peace Efforts Keep Failing

Authored by theatlantic.com

Early in Trump’s second term, Russia rejected a deal that would have frozen the battle lines, lifted sanctions on Russia, and kept Ukraine out of NATO.
