China’s carbon dioxide emissions fell 0.3% in 2025, the first annual decline since Covid-era restrictions in 2022.

The drop was driven by a fall in emissions across nearly all major sectors including power, where a banner year for renewables drove down coal consumption.

China for the first time covered all of its additional power demand growth with carbon-free sources, and added enough energy storage capacity to account for the increase in peak demand.
