(Bloomberg) — China is under-performing on one of its main climate goals — cutting the amount of energy needed for economic growth.
Getting back on track is likely to be a focus at the National People’s Congress that starts in Beijing this week. But to do so will require an ambitious target to reduce energy intensity for this year. While a change to how the target is calculated will make it easier to reach, effectively calibrating economic and environmental objectives remains one of the biggest challenges facing policymakers.
