The decline continued but was milder this spring.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear whether China&#8217;s emissions will continue to fall this year. Over the past decade, five shorter dips were followed by rebounding emissions.<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s recent emissions decline was driven by decreased output in cement, steel and power industries, as well as COVID lockdown measures, according to an analysis by Lauri Myllyvirta, a Finland-based climate and energy analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Steel and cement are China&#8217;s second and third largest emitting sectors, and the demand for both sectors is largely driven by construction activity,&#8221; but policy changes on real estate lending and debt have at least temporarily depressed the construction sector, Myllyvirta wrote in an analysis for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carbonbrief.org\/analysis-chinas-co2-emissions-see-longest-sustained-drop-in-a-decade\/\">Carbon Brief.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whether China meets its long-term goal to become carbon neutral by 2060 depends in large part on what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens in its power sector.<\/p>\n<p>And that depends upon how quickly the world&#8217;s second largest economy can move away from coal.<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s leaders have recently doubled-down on plans to promote coal-fired power, calling for coal production capacity to increase by 300 million tons this year, or 7% over last year.<\/p>\n<p>Li Shuo, a senior global policy adviser for Greenpeace, told the Associated Press in April that economic concerns, including those related to China&#8217;s zero-COVID policy, meant that China&#8217;s leaders were prioritizing energy security over moving away from fossil fuels, at least in the short-term.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This mentality of ensuring energy security has become dominant, trumping carbon neutrality,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>China is currently the world&#8217;s largest carbon emitter, although other countries, such as the United States, have contributed a greater share of historic emissions.<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s carbon emissions <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/global-energy-review-co2-emissions-in-2021-2\">increased<\/a> by 750 megatonnes over the two-year period between 2019 and 2021, driving the global rebound in carbon emissions after the first phase of pandemic, according to the nonprofit Paris-based International Energy Agency.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            China&#8217;s carbon emissions fall for first time since COVID lockdowns: report\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 The Associated Press.
