China has seen its largest reduction in CO2 emissions since the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 3.1% drop in Q3 2026 due to decreased coal and oil consumption. Despite ongoing coal power plant construction, the country has launched more wind and solar projects than the rest of the world combined. Electric vehicle sales surged, making up 67% of car sales and 50% of heavy truck sales in September. Experts note that emissions have stabilized or decreased for over two and a half years, driven by a shift towards clean energy. However, future emissions trends will depend on the growth of clean energy and government responses to economic challenges.
