Beijing's actions on climate recognized

Report gives credit to government support for clean energy and public desire for change

China's consistent efforts to transform into a low-carbon economy will help the country meet its climate change pledges made in Paris in December last year, according to a new report.

Alina Averchenkova, the lead author of the report and head of the ESRC Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science, attributed China's progress to strong government support for renewable energy development and public calls for clean air.
