China makes landmark pledge to cut its climate emissions
China pledges a 7-10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, a landmark commitment by the world's top emitter. While the US has scaled back climate commitments, China's target is seen as a crucial step toward global climate goals. Despite criticism that the pledge falls short of necessary reductions, China's track record of exceeding targets gives hope for a cleaner, renewable energy future.
