The country, which is the world’s largest producer of greenhouse gases, is set to achieve its Paris Climate Agreement commitments as a result of policies that are already in place, according to a study by researchers at institutions including Tufts University. The researchers identified and ranked China’s most influential policies, then modelled how these policies would affect emissions under a range of different scenarios. The scientists acknowledged that the models involved a considerable degree of uncertainty. The country’s most effective emissions reduction policies include feed-in tariffs, energy-efficiency standards, clean energy targets for utilities, and coal consumption caps.
