China aims to reduce carbon emissions by 7% to 10% by 2035, as global leaders emphasize urgent climate action ahead of upcoming negotiations.

On September 24, 2025, China declared a new climate goal to reduce its carbon emissions by 7% to 10% by 2035, reinforcing its commitment to addressing climate change. This announcement was made during a special summit organized by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, which gathered more than 100 world leaders to discuss the urgent need for enhanced efforts to combat climate change. The summit comes just weeks before significant international climate negotiations set to take place in Brazil, where leaders are expected to further address the challenges posed by greenhouse gas emissions. The global community is increasingly recognizing the necessity for collaborative action to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
