China has built the world’s largest renewable energy system, a claim backed by a report from the China Enterprise Reform and Development Society (CERDS) and reported by CGTN. The study shows that global energy‑related CO₂ emissions rose 0.4 per cent year‑on‑year to 38.4 billion tonnes in 2025, the smallest annual increase since 2021.
In the same period, China’s energy‑related carbon emissions fell by 0.5 per cent, while the United States saw a 2.4 per cent rise, making it the biggest contributor to the global uptick. China remains the world’s largest emitter of CO₂, although its share of global emissions is gradually shrinking.
Coal‑fired power generation accounted for 49.7 per cent of China’s total electricity output in the first half of 2026, falling below the 50 per cent threshold for the first time. Peng Hu
