China's President Xi Jinping unveiled the country's first-ever absolute emissions reduction targets, pledging to cut greenhouse gases by 7–10% by 2035 relative to peak levels, expected in 2025. The announcement came via President Xi Jinping's video address to a UN climate summit, where leaders from 120 nations gathered. Xi also promised to raise non-fossil fuels to over 30% of total energy use, expand renewables, and boost electric vehicles. The pledge marks a sharp contrast with US President Donald Trump's dismissal of climate change as a "con job" just a day earlier. Experts say Beijing’s targets appear cautious but reflect a steady commitment to the Paris Agreement, even as many wealthy nations fall behind.
